About: Fusgeyer

An Entity of Type: Thing, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

The fusgeyers (Yiddish: פֿוסגײער, "pedestrian" or "wayfarer"; Romanian: drumeti or pietoni) were a movement of Romanian Jews who emigrated in an organized manner from Romania from 1900 to 1920. Their name refers to the fact that they were often too poor to even purchase a train ticket to a port city. Roughly 60,000 Jews left the country during that time period, going to Austria and Germany and then onwards via port cities to Canada and the United States. The number of specifically fusgeyer emigrants may be lower, perhaps a few thousand.

dbo:abstract
  • Als Fusgeyer (jiddisch „Fußgänger“, im übertragenen Sinn: „Auswanderer zu Fuß“, rumänisch pietoni, drumeti) bezeichneten sich tausende von jüdischen Flüchtlingen aus Rumänien Anfang des 20. Jahrhunderts. Zwischen 1881 und 1914 emigrierten etwa 125.000 Juden aus Rumänien in die Vereinigten Staaten, nach Süd- und Mittelamerika, Australien, England und Palästina. Allein zwischen 1899 und 1914 haben 62.813 Juden Rumänien verlassen und erreichten über Österreich und Deutschland die Häfen Hamburg, Bremen, Rotterdam und Liverpool, um von dort nach Kanada und Amerika auszuwandern. Darunter befanden sich einige Tausend junge Leute – überwiegend Handwerker, Arbeiter und Studenten, die ihre Auswanderung zu Fuß bewältigen wollten. (de)
