Some other ideas to consider:
Perhaps it is the religious background of the country? Many non-English speaking countries were traditionally Catholic and may have a culture based on anti-Jewish Church teachings, even if these countries are not as religious now, the anti-Jewish sentiment is still there. Example, France, or (pre-war) Poland. Germany on the other hand was heavily influenced by Martin Luther.
Maybe the English speaking countries tended to be greater melting pots, attracting people of different backgrounds, more tolerant. Didn’t succumb to Fascism or Communism.
