Talk:Eastern European Jewry

Ostjuden
The article includes the following sentence The phrase 'Eastern European Jews' or 'Jews of the East' (from German: Ostjuden) was established during the 19th century. However, the following sources claim that the phrase was established later, during and after WWI:





Moreover, all these sources report that the expression "Ostjude" has a disparaging connotation and is therefore not a synonym for "Eastern European Jew".

I have added the template:citation needed, but the sentence probably needs to be removed. Gitz (talk) (contribs) 22:48, 28 April 2023 (UTC)
