History Of The Jews In Vietnam
Jews are a minor ethnic and religious group in Vietnam, presently consisting of only about 300 people, or an extremely small percentage of Vietnam's population. Although Jews have been present in Vietnam and Judaism has been practiced since the 19th century, most adherents have been, and remain today, expatriates, with few to no native Vietnamese converts.

“He wrote in prison, not a History of the World, like Raleigh, but an American book which I think will live longer than that. I do not know of such words, uttered under such circumstances, and so copiously withal, in Roman or English or any history.”

“The history of all previous societies has been the history of class struggles.”

—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“No doubt Jews are most obnoxious creatures. Any competent historian or psychoanalyst can bring a mass of incontrovertible evidence to prove that it would have been better for the world if the Jews had never existed. But I, as an Irishman, can, with patriotic relish, demonstrate the same of the English. Also of the Irish.... We all live in glass houses. Is it wise to throw stones at the Jews? Is it wise to throw stones at all?”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
“Let us understand: North Vietnam cannot defeat or humiliate the United States. Only Americans can do that.”
—Richard M. Nixon (1913–1992)
