| == Jewish History in Switzerland ==
| |
| | |
| "The Jewish people had suffered discrimination in Christian Europe since time immemorial
| |
| and were repeated victims of persecution in many countries, including Switzerland. After the
| |
| Black Death in the mid-14th century, they were accused of being well-poisoners and suffered
| |
| pogrom-like persecution, were killed, forced to convert to Christianity or exiled. Prior to 1798
| |
| the Jewish community was tolerated in only two parts of Switzerland - Lengnau and
| |
| Endingen (the common lordship of Baden, today the canton of Aargau).
| |
| | |
| "Although the revolutionaries had granted civic equality to Jews in France as far back as
| |
| 1791, neither the Helvetic Republic nor the newly minted Swiss Confederation could bring
| |
| themselves to do the same. Swiss Jews were considered as foreigners and the Swiss
| |
| Constitution of 1848 denied them the freedom of establishment, trade and worship. Thanks
| |
| to foreign pressure, particularly from France, the Jewish community in Switzerland was finally
| |
| granted unlimited civil rights in 1866, and a provision to this end was added to the Federal
| |
| Constitution of 1874."<ref>[https://www.eda.admin.ch/dam/PRS-Web/en/dokumente/der-bundesstaat-im-19-jahrhundert_EN.pdf]"The Jewish People," ''Switzerland in the 19th Century'', page 9.</ref>
