Can anybody help me understand this?
Pretty much all Jewish people have German names. Yiddish is literally German with the Hebrew alphabet.
From like 1800 to the Holocaust it seems like a ton of important Germans were Jewish. There were less Jews in Germany than there are in America, but we have Marx and Freud and Einstein and Fritz Lang and Walter Benjamin and Walter Rathenau and Mahler and Mendelson totally stealing the show.
Why were Jews so important in Germany despite small numbers? Reading Ulysses suggests everybody associated Germans and Jews with each other, and the Dreyfuss Affair suggests that just being Jewish meant Dreyfuss was believed to have German sympathies.
they couldn't own land
they had some protection in the hre after huge massacres during the crusade times
due to the jobs they were allowed to do they became a part of the urbanized merchant class so they were affected by developing ideas relatively fast and had connects in business and social circles just because of the jobs they were allowed to do such as usury
The majority of Ashkenazim lived in the Austria-Hungary region when surnames became commonplace, which is why Yiddish surnames are most often Germanic. They migrated East as conditions became less hospitable for Jews in Western Europe.
As far as the Jews in Germany proper, they became quite segregated from the Eastern European majority. The Easterners stereotyped them as pretentious and unfriendly, while the German Jews considered the Easterners superstitious boors with no class.
Jews in Western Europe tended to be much better educated than the working class ones who came from the East, particularly in England and Germany.
> the Dreyfuss Affair suggests that just being Jewish meant Dreyfuss was believed to have German sympathies.
That actually had more to do with Dreyfus being from Alsace. Dreyfus' Jewishness made him a target for accusations of espionage, but officers in his position were chosen for their knowledge of German language and culture. Alsace-Lorraine was annexed by Germany at the time Dreyfus moved to Paris, and it was only after that that he enlisted with the military.

The urban part is what's really relevant. Jews were 5-10% of the Berlin population before the war, even if they were only about 1% of the total German population.
Most Germans still lived rural lives in the early 20th century, insulated from cosmopolitan turbulence.
>>1748134
Citizenship was restricted to Christian natives in the >H>R>E which was why Jews didn't have much power at the time.
The Napoleonic era abolished this system, which gave Jews only slightly less rights compared to Christian citizens. In fact, France was the first country to pass laws emancipating Jews, followed by German territories over a decade later--Prussia twenty years later, and "Germany" proper not until 1871, long after Greece, Italy, Sweden, and Belgium had passed such laws.

Surprise! Most people think Hebrew is some ancient language or something lol, no one knows it was made in the 19th century, as opposed to the ancient yiddish which sounds much different

No, modern hebrew is from the 19th century. The torah is in hebrew.
>>1748101
>There were less Jews in Germany than there are in America
Jews still only = 2% of the American population, not particularly higher than the 1% in Germany assuming >>1748212 has the numbers right. And I would be surprised if Jews were any more overrepresented in Germany than they are in America now. I think it merely appears that way because thinkers have had less importance since the 60s. We have pundits instead of philosophers now.

And they now have the most Jews outside of Burgerland and Israel. Apparently Napoleon wanted the shekels:

So this must have been the attitude for some time.

Berlin was far more important nationally than New York, being equivalent to New York and Washington and Los Angeles all as one city.
>>1750141
France brought liberal reforms to the Rhineland under Napoleon, overturning the old religious hierarchy and extending full citizenship rights and privileges to Jews. These laws were reversed after Napoleon's defeat.
This actually has hugely important policy implications. A young man named Herschel Marx was now able to practice law despite his Jewish faith. By 1818, the law had changed such that only Protestants could be lawyers. As such, Herschel converted to Lutheranism. His son Karl Marx was raised in the faith, well aware that a more liberated future based on the ideals of the French revolution was within grasp.

I'm gonna give you the benefit of the doubt and say you typed the both of those flip flop by mistake
Hebrew is the language of Israel. It is a language of semetic origins. It has much more in common with Arabic than it does with any European language
Yiddish is bacically just german. If you are fluent in one, you are fluent in the other. Yiddish has a handful of Semetic loanwords and phrases borrow from the hebrew language but not enough to render it unintelligible to a german speaker

Germany has rich Ashkenazi Jew heritage. From the time of the Holy Roman Empire, many of the families of nobility were Jewish.
Most people nowadays cannot fathom the impact the attempted communist revolution in 1918, which was led by Jews, had on German-Jewish relations.
Before 1918, Germany was not an anti-semitic country. In fact, German (and Austro-Hungarian) Jews were the most assimilated, best treated Jews in Europe, they were so assimilated that they felt confortable to discriminate against the Russian "Ostjuden" as inferior.
Germany was one of the most jew-tolerant places in Europe until 1933.
Russia and even France was more anti-Jewish than Germany. Jews were even ennobled in the Kaiser's court if they were in favor with Wihelm II.
Wilhelm II may have made some anti-Jewish remarks in his lifetime, but even he was horrified at Kristallnacht and the gangsterish brutality inflicted on German Jews. At his worst, the Kaiser never oppressed his people like the Nazis did.
West Jews were educated and rich. Highly assimilated and in position of power.
East(Russian) Jews wee mostly poor or extremly poor, uneducated or illiterate, mostly speaking local russian dialects. Lived in ghettos or their own settelments wih their own laws and customs.
West Jews were terrified by East Jews influx and influenced Western goverments to stop it.
The Jews native to Germany were quite assimilated. However, as a consequence of Pogroms and famines in the east, huge numbers of Russian and Galician (Austrian) Jews (Ostjuden) migrated to the West, eventually reaching Germany, France, Denmark and the U.S. Those eastern Jews unlike their western counterparts, had their own unique culture based highly upon their local cultures. Around the time Bismarck unified Germany, Jews did not face any legal persecution and as such they were not required to live in Ghettos unlike their Russian counterparts

>>1748101
the Jews we've come to know and hate come from eastern Europe/Eurasia, an later migrated to other parts of the world, intermarrying with other Europeans. The real semitic Jews were Aramaic, syriac, nomads from Jordan, etc.
Khazar Jews adopted the religion for personal gain. Over time their ethnicity and religion became synonymous

Some medieval Italian families claimed Jewish origin but it was mostly a way to connect themselves to the origins of Christianity.

Wrong. The name Saxons for the Ingvaeonic confederacy of tribes derived from their main weapon, the seax or sax. This word derived from Proto-Germanic sahsą for dagger or knife, which in turn derived from PIE *sek- "to cut".
All those languages you listed are just varieties of Rotwelsch, which is medieval German thieves' cant.

Jews were living under the nominal protection of the king/emperor, since the emperor had most influence over free imperial cities/ Reichsstädte, it was there were most jews settled down. This led to a high urban concentration of jewish people in Germany. However this protection was far from secure, the city of Nürnberg for example razed the entire jew district as they were looking for a bigger market place inside of the town walls. Happenings like this made the jews very mobile, they were used to move away if things got unpleasant and because of that the jewish community was and is highly connected.

Do you even understand the difference? So yes, there is some truth to this rumor. Of course it wasn't manufactured, but there was one Nazi doctor experimenting with this.
>A new laboratory analysis of the soap revealed human fat was one of its components, spokesperson for the Gdansk branch of the IPN, Paulina Szumera, told Deutsche Presse-Agentur in a telephone interview on Friday.
>The piece of soap was used as evidence in the post-WWII Nuremburg Trials where prominent German Nazis were prosecuted for crimes against humanity. At the time, prosecutors lacked the technology to determine whether the soap contained human tissue.
>Human remains used to make the soap were believed to have been brought from Kaliningrad, Bydgoszcz and the Stutthof Nazi German concentration camp located about 30 from Gdansk.
>The IPN investigation found that the soap in question produced by Professor Spanner was used to clean operating and autopsy rooms.

Eh, I don't see what's wrong with this. Wartime propaganda is often nasty, and he was worried Soviet villagers may assume starving Wehrmacht deserters would not be a threat if they wandered into their village.
