It is not certain when the first Jew arrived in Poland. Many came to Poland and began their businesses and sold their wares and then settled with their families. Many Jews came here because persecution drove them away from areas outside of Poland. Here they found some peace. A great influx came into Poland between the 12th and 15th centuries. Because Poland was in need of merchants and other businesses, they were readily accepted and found the protection that they needed. Mostly the Ashkenazi Jews settled in Poland. Poland consisted of about 10% Jewish population between the two World Wars. | It is not certain when the first Jew arrived in Poland.
