Judenrein and Judenfrei (German: free of Jews) were Nazi terms to designate an area free of Jewish presence.[1] The words bear slightly different connotations; while Judenfrei merely refers to "freeing" an area of all of its Jewish citizens, Judenrein (literally "clean of Jews") demands that any trace of Jewish blood be removed as an impurity.[2]
Some of the locations declared Judenfrei
Establishments, villages, cities, and regions were declared Judenfrei after they were ethnically cleansed of Jews.
- Gelnhausen, Germany - reported Judenfrei on November 1, 1938 by propaganda newspaper Kinzigwacht after its synagogue was closed and remaining local Jews forced to leave the town. [3]
- Luxembourg - reported Judenfrei by the press on October 17, 1941. [4]
- Estonia – December, 1941 [5]. Reported as Judenfrei at Wannsee Conference on January 20, 1942 [6]
- Belgrade, Serbia – August, 1942
- Vienna - reported Judenfrei by Alois Brunner on October 9, 1942
- Berlin, Germany – July 16th, 1943 [7]
Other uses
Judenfrei was first used in Germany in the 19th century.
