In the case of those German Jews who had lived in Germany for a long time, the only real difference was religion or origin. (Quite a number did not practise any religion or were atheists or had converted to Christianity). Most of the German Jews, especially adherents of Reform Judaism were highly assimilated and integrated in German society. Culturally, they were German. In the early stages of the Holocaust (late 1941), when Jews were transported from Berlin to Latvia for mass open air shootings, even a few middle-ranking Nazi administators and SS men complained that they found it very unpleasant to shoot 'fellow Germans'.
