Noun
Judenfrage f (genitive Judenfrage, plural Judenfragen)
- (uncountable, history, otherwise offensive) Jewish Question (debate over the appropriate status and treatment of Jews in Europe)
1933 May 3, A. Müller, “Ein Bonner Bürger protestiert bei Göring am 3. Mai 1933 gegen die Verfolgung der deutschen Juden”, in Die Quellen sprechen, volume 1, published 2013:Ich will mich ganz kurz fassen, es ist die Judenfrage. Ich bin waschechter Arier, habe auch nat.soz. gewählt, aber mit der Lösung der Judenfrage kann ich mich (in Übereinstimmung mit den meisten meiner Landsleute) nicht einverstanden erklären. Das Volk kennt eigentlich keine Judenfrage, sondern nur die Behörden, die sie allerdings leider in das Volk tragen.- I want to be very brief, it is about the Jewish Question. I am a dyed-in-the-wool Aryan and I have voted National Socialist, but (in conformity with most of my fellow countrymen) I cannot agree to the solution of the Jewish Question. The people really do not know of a Jewish Question, but only the authorities, who unfortunately, however, pass it on to the people.
- (countable, often in the plural, archaic) Jewish matters, things to do with Jews or Judaism
Usage notes
- The term was not originally particularly antisemitic and has been widely used by Jews themselves, including Zionists. Nevertheless it is now associated with the Holocaust and should be treated with some caution.
