What is " The Jewish Question"...?

Question

tried googliing it but found nothing if anyone knows of a site that will explain please let me know.

Answer 1

Usually applies to German history, but European history overall. It is a bigger idea than this answer service and could easily fill several volumes.

In 20th century Germany, the Nazi Party tried to solve the Jewish Question. What the JudenFrage implies is what to do with Jews. Racial science of the late 19th century put a new perspective on how the Jews of Europe were thought of. Before they were a religious group, but racialists argued they were a separate ethnic race altogether.

Think of the Jewish Question as a long running thread in history on how to deal with Jews in general. The Romans "solved" the Jewish Question when they scattered the Jews in the 70s AD resulting the Diaspora. Medieval people address the Jewish Question with pogroms, expulsions, and occasional burnings at the state.

Does this help?

Answer 2

The Jewish question is, "How should we deal with these Jews that act so strange, and try to rip us off, and don't believe in Jesus and are probably working for the devil?

Jewish activist looked at the question in the opposite way, "What can we do so the non-Jews will let us live in peace?"
Some ways the Jewish question has historically been answered:

Putting all Jews in ghettos.
Restricting what Jews may do and what professions they may hold.
Inciting the peasantry to make pogroms (=massacres in simple English)
Encouraging Jews to convert
Theodore Herzel wanted to solve the Jewish problem by encouraging all Jews to convert. Most Jews weren't too thrilled with that idea, so herzel came up with another one: make a Jewish state where Jews will be in charge, and they won't be at the mercy of foreigners.

Hitler wanted to find a "final Solution" for the Jewish problem.

Answer 3

Your question isn't specific, but the Nazi's during WWII had an answer to the "jewish question",,, the holocaust. I assume this was what you were asking about. Adolf Eichmann, an SS colonel was a key player in the" jewish solution". As far as I know, the only Nazi war criminal, found by the Mossad in Argentina , hanged in Israel. Currently resides in hell.

Answer 4

A euphemism used by the Nazis for extermination of European Jewry. What to do with the Jews? The Final solution, as mentioned above, was defined by the outcome of the Wansee Conference in Jan 1942.

Answer 5

"The Jewish Question" refers to World War 2 and the Germans trying to figure out what to do with all of the underirable (to them) Jews who lived in Germany and the countries they conquered.

At the Wanssee (spelling?) conference, leaders of the Nazi movement discussed "The Jewish Question" as it relates to the efficient ways in which to "liquidate" (meaning kill) the Jews of Europe.

If you don't want to read a book about the subject, try watching the film called "Conspiracy" with Kenneth Branagh, Stanley Tucci (among others) and it deals specifically with the Wansee conference.

Answer 6

It is question of the ability of Jews to integrate within Western Europe

Answer 7

More than likely it is "When and how should we, the National Socialists, eliminate the cultural input of those of Jewish descent? Their international financial conspiracy, perniscious social influence via Judeo-Christian value sysytems, and their handy availability as scapegoats for to cull and plunder, thus boosting our own, German, economic activity, has got to stop. Once suitably exploited for effect on those who may remain."

The Holocaust is the main reference point you might research. The Wannsee Conference is a major event in this regard.

Unless you mean "Is Jesus the long-awaited Messiah?", to which the answer was "Nah: he is no King of Spirit and Man, just the Spirit. At best."

Answer 8

It helps if you know that the Nazi's proposed the "Final Solution" to the "Jewish Question" at the Wannsee Conference. The Final Solution was genocide.

Answer 9

The phrase Jewish question originally referred to the question of the ability of Jews to integrate within Western Europe. Now, it usually refers to questions about the essential nature of Jews, often in reference to the nature of their relationship to non-Jews.

Answer 10

If you are asking about "the Jewish question" as it pertains to Germany in the 1920s and 1930s its:

"What can we do about this segment of our population that sold us down the river and helped to bring about our defeat at the hands of our enemies?"
