Bavaria Jews Dwindle from 49,145 in 1925 to 41,939 Last Year

There were 41,939 Jews in Bavaria on June 16, 1933, the date of the last German census, according to the Bavarian Statistical Bureau. the Jews thus constitute one half of one per cent. of the entire population of Bavaria. Compared with the census of 1925, when the number of Jews in Bavaria amounted to 49,145 (0.7 per cent.) the latest census shows a decrease of 7,206 or 14.7 per cent. The report mentions further that the Jewish population between 1910 and 1925 showed a decrease of 10.8 per cent. Attention is drawn to the fact that the statistics cover only “persons belonging to the mosaic religion, not members of the Jewish race.”
