What was the position of the Jews in Germany during the time of the Weimar Republic (1919-1933)?
Jewish influence and material wealth was so great during the time of the Weimar Republic that some Germans referred to it as the “Judenrepublik” (Jewish Republic), although Jews comprised only about 1% of its population. To mention only one small example, over 30% of the faculty of the University of Berlin was Jewish in 1932. Reference: Walther Jantzen, Geopolitik im Kartenbild/Die Juden, Heidelberg, 1940. Contains maps and statistical diagrams on the history of Jews in Germany.
