Switzerland is a neutral nation that felt very little impact from World War II. The Jewish population in Switzerland peaked in the 1920s with around 20,000 community members. That number has risen and fallen only slightly in years since. Today the estimated Jewish population is about 17,000 but the overall percentage of Jews to the whole of the Swiss population is lower. Immigration, aging and mixed marriages are thought to be the reason the Jewish population is growing smaller in Switzerland.
