As recently as the 1950s, there were quotas at major universities that restricted the admission of Jews - my own family dentist had to go to another country to learn dentistry - there were many areas where they couldn’t by homes, and major companies that wouldn’t hire Jews. Add to that hotels that wouldn’t accept them as guests and country clubs they could not join.
All of this was perceived as the action and mindset of a Protestant Republican establishment. The Dems positioned themselves as welcoming immigrants and being for the underdog.
Nonsense, Jews vote democrat because the party represents their politics.
They are still in existence for Jews (and others). Only now they are called "Affirmative Action."

Yes, like the Roosevelt Administration's actions with respect the the Jewish refugees attempting to flee Nazi-occupied Europe./(Sarc.) (And BTW, also their locking up of innocent Japanese Americans in detainment camps.)
Your point is quite valid and under-valued. Good job.
