How much of the post-1991 decline in European Jewry is due to emigration from the former Soviet Union to Israel and elsewhere, including the United States? Looking at the chart on the web site, it looks as if there has been a steady decline in Jewish numbers throughout the post-World War II era. Survivors of the concentration camps were not exactly welcome in their former Eastern European home countries, which swiftly turned Communist after the end of World War II. French, Dutch, Belgian, Italian, and Danish Jews fared better than the Eastern European brethren. Israel was a better bet for them. There were also several immigration waves from the Soviet Union before the fall of Communism.

How many of the Jewish emigrants from Europe have come from the Western democracies? Particularly the UK, which was never occupied by the Nazis.

A more pertinent case is that of Sweden. With the advent of mass Muslim immigration has come pervasive anti-Semitism. The Jews of Sweden (a nation never occupied by the Nazis or affected directly by WWII) are now under assault by Muslims. They are hence leaving Sweden in increasing numbers.
