I have a relative who was in a labour camp. He was polish but not a Jew. The German government was forced to pay him a pension for the time he spent working in the labour camp. He still receives about $285 a month.

Are Jews German?

Yes and No. Jews have origins in the Middle East and, therefore, most Jews do not have ancestors who lived in Germany for many centuries, if at all. Those Jews are certainly not Germans. As for the Jews of Germany, they spent much of the 1700s and 1800s fighting for integration with Christian Germany. By the 1930s, they considered themselves and were considered to be Germans. When the Nazis took control of the German government, the distinction between Germans and Jews became apparent once again. Many Jews from eastern Europe have German-language names (often via Yiddish) and that can be confusing, since it is not necessarily the case that a Jew with a German or Yiddish surname has German Jewish ancestors.

The language of the Jews throughout eastern Europe was Yiddish. Yiddish is in large part derived from an old form of German.

Often they used patronymics, nicknames, or other terms from their Yiddish language. The names of Russian Jews are often Yiddish in origin, but because Yiddish has much in common with German, the uninformed think they are German names.
