I have read somewhere that HALF of those leaving Antwerp were Jews . Albert Einstein did most likely travel in better conditions as most of the others . In Poland the "red star line" also advertised in Yddish . An Antwerp painter , Eugeen van Mieghem , made many paintings of the Jewish emigrants .

2. Ships took Jews to many countries
Most of the European Jews immigrated to the United States, Canada, Australia, South Africa, Palestine and Switzerland before the start of World WarTwo.

3. Remarkable, they want to rewrite past about
country that denied Jewish people in WWII while muzzling history of the one that didn't need any ships...
|
|
|
Half may well have left, but not all on the Red Star Line.

9. Re:#2-Brasil & Argentina Aren't Chopped Liver Either!
Eduardo Einstein , |

|
(10.28.13) |
Upwards of 70,000 Jews, emigrated to Brasil (my relatives on both sides of my family included) & Argentina took in over 100,000 Jews from Europe at the turn of the 20th Century. We know about those that came to North America & their success but very little is ever mentioned about South America, where Jews became successful doctors, heads of state & industrialists, as well as celebrities in arts & media.
