The way you phrased your post kind of makes it sound as if there was this sudden Jewish immigration wave in the 1800s (i.e. the 19th century). As if there was no notable Jewish presence in those countries before that. Which would be incorrect, at least in the case of European countries like Germany and Poland. Jewish people have been living there since at least the Middle Ages. In fact, until World War II happened, Poland was home to the biggest Jewish population of Europe!
So, now I would be interested to know: what brought about this Jewish immigration wave in the 19th century? Where did most of these immigrants come from, i.e. which country were they leaving behind for a better life in one of the countries mentioned by you? And where did you get your information from? For example: did someone simply tell you about it, or did you read it in a book?
