- Just let me add a little remark as to the translation problem:
-
- The German word "Vernichtung" clearly means "total destruction".
- "Judentum" in German has two meanings:
- a) Judaism as a religious, cultural and historical phenomenon,
- b) Jewry (and in this context, neither the orthodox nor any other
- interpretation of Judaism defined who was Jewish, but the Nazis
- did).
- The Nazis meant the complete destruction/annihilation of European
- Jewry, but the *ideological* aim they wanted to achieve by this
- was to wipe out Judaism all together.
-
- There are no words to really express the unbelievable cruelty in
- this.
