Remind me how many Jews were allowed to live in the city of Warsaw prior to the Prussian occupation. My understanding is that after 1527 the total number was one
What the F are you talking about?
According to a census in 1765, 2,519 Jews lived in Warsaw. By 1792, the Jewish population nearly tripled to 6,750.
6,750 out of 120,000 aint that bad. and, by 1910, the population reached 337,000 (38% of the total population of Warsaw).
Cities like Lodz, Kraków, Gdansk had even larger jewish communities.
It is more interesting that despite the often heard (from Poles) claim that Poland was paradise for Jews, Jews were forbidden from living in the capital city for almost all the time Poles had any say over the matter from 1527 to 1918.
Tell me in what other cities in Europe jews where alowed to live and make a living? besides in Poland. In Poland Jews could stay in whatever city they wanted too while most of the other counties in Europe banned them or put them into ghettos.
