Correct. The answer is c. In the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, vast numbers of Jews were killed in pogroms—deadly riots that targeted Jews. Pogroms and other persecutions were encouraged by Christian priests, who told their parishioners that Jews killed Christian children for use in religious rituals. To escape this anti-Semitic violence, millions of Jews emigrated from Europe between 1880 and 1914, and the majority came to the United States.
