I don’t think Americans fully comprehend how lucky they were after during the 20th century
Like 90% of the top intellectual elite from Poland and Russia left to offer their services to USA. We’re not talking low level engineers we’re talking nobel prize winners.
Israel was a secondary recipient but most left to USA. This brain drain will be studied in the future once its comprehended what a big deal it was, and explains why Poland and Russia are basically never gonna make it again as they are stuck with those low level engineers

You wrongly assume that these Jews could release their full intellectual potential in impoverished backward countries like Poland or Russia. Most likely they'd simply stick to reading Talmud in synagogues same like their ancestors did.

also you probably have no idea how strong anti-Semitism was here
far-righters were rather open about it
>we know that Jews make up a large part of the intelligentsia here but still we'd rather be a poorer and less developed, but ethnically Polish country
especially that they believed that Jews did not contribute much to the country/nation but only cared about their own community
these sentiments are actually quite common in all other countries where there is a small intellectual elite of a foreign background, just Jews are getting disproportionate attention in the west for various reasons
we had a similar sentiment against Germans too, just it's less discussed now because there were less Germans than Jews and because Germans largely emigrated out of Poland willingly after WW1.

in many SEA countries they have exactly the same deal with Chinese who make up an intellectual and business elite there and when I read about their ethnic conflicts it's 1:1 the same what we had with Jews before WW2, so it's not really something about Poles/Russians, it's simply human nature, we don't like foreign ethnicities ruling over us, simply
