Jews had led in steel making. shipping. foreign trade. and domestic commerce out of all proportion to their numbers compared to other Germans. nor were the Jews behind in music. the arts and sciences. and philosophy. This state of affairs first led to jealousy. then to bigotry. and finally to persecution. with all of which the world is familiar. There could be no escape to asylum elsewhere in the world. though longing eyes were cast on America. since Jewish money and goods had been commandeered by the Nazis. and families once well to do or in comfortable circumstances were herded into ghettos and denied expatriation. In other generations persecution because of political or religious differences has given some of its best immigrant stock to the United States of America. The Pilgrims and Puritans. Huguenots.
