Why did Jewish people move to United States?
People would ask why do people move out from their home state or hometown. We humans are social animals; we set our social boundaries in our lives and live within them. Some says that we all live in a small boundary like a bird in a cage. It is true but we are different from the bird because we choose to live in these boundaries. We are afraid of flying out of the cage because we get started to worry about things that you do not have to worry in a cage – something like hungry cats. It is very ironic to say that we are social animals when society that we define dictates and limits our behaviors.
Born and raised in South Korea, I have always had this hatred against its education system. After entered the high school, I have never slept more than 6 hours and been spending most of my day studying. There were class after class and we were forced to stay in the school to 10:00 pm, sometimes 1:00 am. I wanted to explore more of the world and the world given to me was too small. Soon, hatred turned into indifference and I was not a social animal anymore when I care less of the society. That is when I decide to move into the United States, the land of the free. Moving out from the hometown and into the land of mystery, I felt like there is no other choice I could make; the cage was unlocked and I had to fly out.
Why did European Jews move to the United States? There are few reasons why but the most important and obvious reason is their hatred against anti-Semitism. Protocols of the elders Zion started from a Russia demonstrate how notorious and prevalent and public anti-Semitic was in European countries. It was first published in Russia in 1905 as an appendix to The Great in the Small: The Coming of the Anti-Christ and the Rule of Satan on Earth. Jewish people were portrayed as conspirators against the society and someone who manipulate economy, religion, and media to rule the world in their ways. The protocol has existed for centuries despite of being criticized as nonsense and obvious forgeries from many credible organizations such as U.S. senate, a Swiss court, and London times. In other words, its existence demonstrates the formation of anti-Semitic sentimentality prior to its first publication especially in Eastern Europe where protocol began. It is true that there were migration of million Jews from Eastern Europe latter part of the nineteenth century (Hasia Diner).
Rising of Hitler’s Nazi with its ideology of master race promoted more anti-Semitic sentimentality across its nation and Jews as a minority and not defined as “master race” by Nazi could not feel safe under its regime and their private life and basic human rights, a pursuit of happiness, were no longer guaranteed. Jews had to move out from their hometown and they must felt exactly how I felt; there is no other choice they could make. The door was wide open and the new world was expecting the Jewish exodus.
