Yeah... Most of Europe. Some Jews have prospered there, but it's a stone cold fact that there are many less Jews in Europe today than there were 70 years ago. Probably better to break it down by country -- Jews have done okay in England, not so well in Poland, Russia, and Germany.

One of Turkey's ambassadors also saved Jewish lives during the Holocaust of World War II.

Jews prospered quite well in Western Europe until the Nazi occupation and Holocaust took their wealth along with many of their lives. Despite those setbacks, in just over 50 years, Jewish contributions to society in many fields is unparallelled when given the opportunity.
In addition to the US, look at what has occurred in Israel while the surrounding Arab nations have floundered.

The classic confusion of causation with correlation.
70 years?
Doesn't that pretty much match the rise of Nazism and the holocaust?
Think there might be a connection? And is or is not Israel closer to Europe than the United States?
Israel was filled by refuges from the immediate continents.
The US is almost the same size as Europe and was untouched by the Nazi solution.
Try analyzing the issue between the 7th and 17th centuries.

My info says that anti-Semitism is getting worse all the time in France, and that half the French Jews have left the country since 1960.
