Germans didn't want to kill jews either

correct

They were looking for repatriation options at first

They just ended up doing it

@Tonight at 11 - DOOM Jews of Poland were under the Russian Empire, which segrageted them

I think it was more out of spite because they were losing

The Russian Empire did most certainly segregate them

@Uksio the plan was finalized in 1941

but that's not the only factor at work here

Also a number of casualties happened because camp people were overworked to serve german war machine

I mean vthe extermination one.

Jews indeed were sent to Ukraine and Poland regions in tsar russia

Predominantly the city of Odessa

Not only, Vilinus had a huge Jewish population

So did Warsaw

I'm not talking about the Stietals

That was not exactly bad, because they were sent there only after they did something criminal, or went against tsar, or were nicke-and-diming locals

salonica had many jews too

then germany happened

@2K the were the majority

They

At least they were not much disadvantaged by being reloacated, as opposed to being jailed

@Uksio I'm pretty sure that was in effect for all Jews.

Anyhow

Many jews that were good to tsar remained in the heart of russia with no issues

It's completely different in western Europe and in the Ottoman Empire

Being a jew was not in itself a crime

@Uksio useful Jews?

@Uksio ok fucker

Albeit russia always was casually antisemitic, but mostly on a banter level though

Wow you guys bullying jews smh

Well, the Ukrainians were the real the anti-Semite

ruskyes were antisemite too

like proper anti semite

Yeah...

everybody was

jews were big gai

in fact everyone was

until ww2

Ukrainians got too many of jews sent to them, a lot of them for the crimes (usually economic or trade related crimes)

But the Ukrainians beat them.
