The Repatriation of Eastern European Jews from Great Britain: 1881-1914.

The article discusses the homecoming of many Jewish immigrants from Great Britain to their homeland in Eastern Europe which was started by the London Jewish Board of Guardians. Historians had estimated that around fifty thousand Jews were sent back by the agency and which had influenced other Jewish charities to do the same. Such move was supported by the Cohen family, custodians of the Board as well as the Anglo-Jewry. Other Western Jewish communities repatriated Eastern European Jews during the westward mass migration but nothing is more consistent than the Anglo-Jewry. In Britain, they feared that the influx of Jews would consume the resources of Jewish charities and prevent the process of anglicizing and might become a political issue in the country.
