In college, I came into contact with a few through the course I was doing. Could there have been a Jewish equivalent of a crock of gold up for grabs if I'd nabbed one of them?

So are the majority of Irish Jews of German or Central European descent who were escaping Hitler's persecution?

The earliest reference to the Jews in Ireland was in the year 1079. The Annals of Inisfallen record "Five Jews came from over sea with gifts to Toirdelbach [Toirdelbach Ua Briain, the king of Munster], and they were sent back again over sea".[1] They were probably merchants from Normandy. |
