Question

study the following information and answer the question below.
prewar european jewish population 9.5 million
postwar european jewish population 3.5 million
what was the cause of this change?
a. ○ liberation of occupied territories by the allies
b. ○ anti - semitic attitudes of the french government
c. ○ anti - semitic policies of the nazi party
d. ○ decreased immigration from the united states

Explanation:

The pre - to post - war European Jewish population dropped significantly. The Nazi Party's anti - Semitic policies, including the Holocaust (systematic mass murder of Jews), were the primary cause of this drastic reduction. Option A (liberation of occupied territories) was a result of the war's end, not the cause of the Jewish population decline. Option B (French anti - Semitic attitudes) were not on a scale to cause such a massive drop. Option D (decreased US immigration) was a factor but not the main cause; the Nazi's genocidal policies were the key reason.

Answer:

C. anti - Semitic policies of the Nazi Party
