Why do you assume so? See the meaning of Jus Sanguinis. Same could be true of England and Scotland, if and when.

Hmm we had a a large number of Jews too before WWII of them was even Prime Minister so it wasn't just Germany.
You cannot compare. Jews were constantly harrassed throughout the centuries in Russia.

In contrast, in Germany, in the latter half of the 19th century, once European emancipation got even Germany to drop its mdeievil anti-Jewish laws and edicts, opportunities that never existed before opened up throughout much of Germany, in spite of the continuing loathing of Jews by so many Germans.
