The feature makes the wrong impression as if currently the Jews are struggling in Estonia whereas in reality, they are thriving and contribute to economy, culture and other sphere of life. On of the most beloved historians, David Vseviov, both an author and host of popular history radio shows is Jewish. His son Jonathan has served as an ambassador to the United States. Aleksei Turovski is a popular zoologist and populiser of the animal kingdom, not unlike David Attenborough.
Historically, there has been little anti-Semitism in Estonia.
In 1925 Estonia was the first country to grant four of its ethnic&religious minorities cultural autonomy – (Jews, Swedes, Germans and Russians). Once the occupying Soviets withdrew from the advancing Nazi German forces in 1941, most Jews evacuated but of the 1000 remaining, most were murdered..by the Nazis and their Estonian collaborators. Although Estonia was under Nazi occupation during WWII and so cannot be held responsbile for the atrocities of the Holocaust, the then-sitting President Arnold Rüütel publicly apologised for the actions of the Estonian Nazi collaborators on 27 January 2005.
