The history of the Jews in Belgium goes back to the 1st century CE until today. The Jewish community numbered 66,000 on the eve of the Second World War[4] but after the war and The Holocaust, now is less than half that number.
Today, Belgium is home to more than 42,000 Jews,[2] of whom two-thirds live in Antwerp.
