Answer

The cause of the decrease in the European Jewish population from 9.5 million to 3.5 million was primarily due to the anti-Semitic policies of the Nazi Party during World War II, resulting in widespread persecution, deportation, and extermination of Jews in occupied territories. The liberation of occupied territories by the Allies did contribute to the end of the Holocaust, but it came after significant loss of life. Decreased immigration from the United States and anti-Semitic attitudes of the French government were not significant factors in this population decline.
