In the pre WWII years it all depended on where you were.
The Baltic states (i.e. Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia) were and remained quite prosperous even throughout the 1930's depression, but later... they had half of their collective populations slaughtered under Stalin.
Stalin was no friend of the Jews. He put Jews at the head of his Baltic and East Poland killing squads so as to deflect the blame from himself.
Indeed, prior to his own death in 1953, he was putting the finishing touches on the plans for a his own Soviet wide anti Jewish holocaust.
