List of British Jews : ウィキペディア英語版 | List of British Jews
List of British Jews is a list of prominent Jews from the United Kingdom and its predecessor states. Although the first Jews may have arrived on the island of Great Britain with the Romans, it was not until the Norman Conquest of William the Conqueror in 1066 that organised Jewish communities first appeared in England. These existed until 1290 when the Jewish population of England was expelled by King Edward I of England. There was never a corresponding expulsion from Scotland. The eminent scholar David Daiches states in his autobiographical ''Two Worlds: An Edinburgh Jewish Childhood'' that there are grounds for saying that Scotland is the only European country with no history of state persecution of Jews. Jews were re-admitted to England and Wales in 1656 by Oliver Cromwell. Slightly more than 200 years later, in 1858 they were emancipated, that is, accepted as full citizens. In the late 19th century, there was mass Jewish immigration to England from Russia due to Russian domestic policy. In the 1930s, the country accepted many refugees from Nazism. The Jewish population peaked at 450,000, but has since declined due to low birth-rate, intermarriage and emigration, mainly of the younger generation to Israel. According to the 2001 census, the current population is around 295,000, most of whom live in London. ==Academic figures==
