Interviews - Europe

Diana Pinto : “Jews in Europe need to take a look at all the moments in which their encounters with the wider world were positive and revisit the old Jewish passion for universal values”.

The historian Diana Pinto gives a broad and panoramic reflection, which easily crosses borders, and in which the situation of European Jewry is considered within the Jewish world as a whole.

Sergio Della Pergola : “The percentage of Jews in Europe has returned to the same level as in the Middle Ages”

Interview with Sergio Della Pergola, who has published an extensive demographic study on Europe’s Jews. Europe was for centuries home to the world’s largest Jewish population center, and the community’s presence on the Vieux Continent dates to Antiquity. Around 1880, they represented 90% of the world’s Jews. Today they represent only 9%.
