Stories of German Shielding 1942-45

Would be good to have an entry (or link) to a collection of stories on how some "Jews were shielded from the Nazis by the courageous acts of other Germans". This may be a start: http://www.raoulwallenberg.net/visasforlife/. http://hnn.us/comments/19503.html. Then again, perhaps this entry is not so much the place for such info. The entry on the Holocaust has a section about recuers: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holocaust#Rescuers

Comments by 24.8.45.117

The following paragraph: This is way off - read the Basic Law Section 7 Para 130 sub para (3) this section deals with Sedition. You might say, one can get in trouble promoting Nazism and likely will if it is done in public however, it has to "disturb the public peace". If it never does this, such as a private conversation. It is not likely to be prosecuted to begin with.

In regard to the ref, wiki is filled with bogus references that are persuasional in nature. You need to go to college and learn how to perform, critical writing.

== REFERENCES MAYBE PERSUASIONAL AND NOT FACTUAL IN NATURE FOR THIS ARTICLE ==

I'm not here to grade your papers or check your refs, please do what wiki asks of you, and be accurate. We all thank you for your contribution. You make many good points. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.8.45.117 (talk)

Edits for Holocaust in Germany Section

I plan to edit this page using a secondary source, Submerged on the Surface by Richard Lutjens. This source is reliable as Lutjen is a published author and an Assistant Professor of History at Texas Tech University. He received his doctorate in modern European History and specialized in the history of Nazi Germany and the Holocaust. I would like to add a more detailed description about Jews hiding in Germany during the war and what tactics and strategies they used to survive. The existing section on the Holocaust in Germany could use some elaboration and perhaps some more insight into what it was like remaining in Germany and trying to survive during that time. Referring to themselves as “U-boats,” many Jews in Germany endured long, strenuous years of hiding and evading the Nazis. The source explains that the survivors saw focused more on hiding their Jewish identities rather than physically hiding from the Nazis. I also plan to provide some more information on the false papers that the Jews sought to acquire. The secondary source explains how expensive and risky it was for the Jews to buy such papers. Not only did they have to pay a hefty sum for the ID but then had to pay for a new picture and official stamp to be added to it. Some Jews in Berlin looked to the Black Market to get false papers as this was a most sought-after product following food and clothing. In total, a reliable false ID came out to between 2,000RM and 6,000RM depending on where it came from. Certain forms of ID were soon deemed unacceptable, leaving the Jews with expensive, useless pieces of paper (91). The section touches on police inspections and searching for Jews in hiding however there is still much to be added here as well. Altogether, I plan to add between 200 and 300 words. If anyone has feedback on these changes, please let me know on this Talk page or on my Talk page.^[1]JarettG (talk) 04:51, 13 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

recent population

1. 2011 is a long time ago for census data.
2. The Wikipedia site on Jewish population by country gives a 2011 number about double what is given here. (The source given there looks legit, but my server says it is a dangerous site to use.) Kdammers (talk) 02:27, 12 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
