If you observe the history of Germany and neighbor countries, like Austria, you can observe that the number of left-wing thinkers born after 1945 in Germany and Austria is much smaller than it was in the 19th century and in the early 20th century. Many left-wing thinkers, scientists and artists had jewish ancestry: Karl Marx, Rudolf Hilferding, Rosa Luxemburg, Max Horkheimer, Theodor Adorno, Walter Benjamin, Herbert Marcuse, Olga Benario, Gyorgy Lukacs, Albert Einstein and Fritz Lang.
Almost all the jews in Germany and territories occupied by Germany were executed, not only the left-wing ones. However, we can imagine that among many jews who were executed, if they had the opportunity to have children, these children could grow and become left-wing thinkers.
Hitler lost the war, but, maybe, he could have reached one of his goals, which was reducing leftism in Germany.

Depends on the political bias of the Jewish community in the 19th century.

Jews were being persecuted in Russia and Poland in the 19th century.

Just a slow migration west from Russia.

A group of people who, unfortunately for them, will be chased around this planet for being different.....and rich.
