*For more information on the history of Jews in Switzerland, read the [ | "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> | |||
