Hungarian Jew, I know that Numerus Clausus Laws were followed by the Numerus Nullus legislation. That was much before the fascist regime of Horthy and the German race laws.
Some young Jews went to study abroad, and others emigrated to America and Argentina. American Jews may have no other choice left than emigration. Maybe to China, and Israel.
A FIRE/Yougov survey found that self-identified Jews now number just 7% of Ivy League students, compared to 10% during the height of the antisemitic quotas.
In the 1950s, after Stalin’s death, after the purges, the Politburo turned to another pressing issue: the overrepresentation of Jews in Soviet life. Proportional representation (3% Tajik! 2% Uzbek! 12% Ukrainian!) became official policy, and the next decade saw the quick erosion of the Jewish nomenklatura. Soviet Jews—who had disproportionately contributed to and benefited from the building of the communist state—had outlived their usefulness.
A 1964 New York Times article explained that because Soviet republics assigned a certain number of students “preferential admission” based on their nationalities, other nationalities—aka Jews—were excluded. “A higher percentage of Jewish students was permitted to attend universities in Czarist Russia than is enrolled in the USSR today,” an outraged American Jewish Congress declared. “The 8.2% of university graduates who are Jews contrasts sharply with the present Jewish university enrollment of 3.22%.”
P.S.: What proves that Jews were in Russia and are today in the USA - oppressed minority. Zionism is truly the National Liberation movement of the Jewish people.
