Apart from [[France]], established [[Jew]]ish populations exist in the [[Netherlands]], [[Belgium]], [[Italy]] and [[Switzerland]]. With the original medieval populations wiped out by the [[Black Death]] and the [[pogrom]]s that followed it, the current Dutch and Belgian communities originate in the Jewish expulsion from [[Spain]] and [[Portugal]], while a Swiss community was only established after emancipation in 1874. However, the vast majority of the population in the Netherlands and a large proportion of the one in Belgium were killed in [[the Holocaust]], and much of the modern Jewish population of these countries (as well as of Switzerland) derives from post-Holocaust arrivals from [[Eastern Europe]]. Here is a list of some prominent West European Jews, arranged by country of origin.
