Jews began living in Lithuania as early as the 13th century.[citation needed] In 1388, they were granted a charter by Vytautas, under which they formed a class of freemen subject in all criminal cases directly to the jurisdiction of the grand duke and his official representatives, and in petty suits to the jurisdiction of local officials on an equal footing with the lesser nobles (szlachta), boyars, and other free citizens. As a result, the community prospered.
In 1495, they were expelled by Alexander Jagiellon, but allowed to return in 1503. The Lithuanian statute of 1566 placed a number of restrictions on the Jews, and imposed sumptuary laws, including the requirement that they wear distinctive clothing, including yellow caps for men and yellow kerchiefs for women.
The Khmelnytsky Uprising destroyed the existing Lithuanian Jewish institutions. Still, the Jewish population of Lithuania grew from an estimated 120,000 in 1569 to approximately 250,000 in 1792. After the 1793 Second Partition of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, Lithuanian Jews became subjects of the Russian Empire.
What is it with Europeans always giving Jews a second or third or fourth chance or thinking they can reform? Even kicking them shows a lack of understanding of the problem, since the Jews will just infest a neighbor.
Is this the result of irrational Christian empathy? Or genetic empathy? Genetic empathy is good for building civilizations but terrible for avoiding Jewish treachery.

I dont think they were ever nobility in Baltic/Russia/Poland because you people know the jews.

>In 2000, the Jewish population of the country was 3,600.[15] Did they all go to Isreal?

Is it right that (((Lithuanian Aristocracies))) were Jewish?
Yes. Some Lithuanian aristocracy is related to Orsini family and went onwards to Russian aristocracy. They are both Roman and Jewish.

Israel forgor it's name. God's people (whites) are have the laws inscribed on their hearts. It's only natural to help one another. Unfortunately they've forgot who the devil's children are. Also napolien let the jews out of the ghetto around 1804.

>Lithuanian Jews became subjects of the Russian Empire. Russians should just pogrom every single kike in their cities, then have cossacks defeat the rest. I love Lithuania but too bad you alongside Poland fell for the kike meme in the medieval ages.
