I read before that the nazis supposedly killed pets of Jews for being "infected" with Jewishness. Anyone else hear of such a thing?

(1) Where did you read that?
Undocumented claims undercut the research purposes of this section of the forum. Consequently, it is required that proof be posted along with a claim. The main reason is that proof, evidence, facts, etc. improve the quality of discussions and information.

(2) What steps have you already taken to confirm or refute the information?
If you have a question, please let the readers know what steps you have taken to answer it when you post the inquiry. This will eliminate misunderstandings and give responding posters a better idea of your familiarity with the subject.

I actually can't remember where I read it which is why I posted- it was awhile ago. I did a google search and couldn't find anything on it. The story I was thinking of was that some nazis killed a Jew's pet bird after he was arrested saying that the bird having lived with a Jewish owner had become contaminated. I can't remember anything beyond that. Btw sorry I did not mean to violate forum rules.

Hello,

this idea was dealt with in two AHF threads more than a decade ago:

The impact of these Nazi biological myths on actual events often took bizarre forms. For example, when the Jews of Berlin were deported east, they had to leave their pets behind. Instead of giving these pets to Aryans (some of these animals were high quality, expensive animals), the Nazis chose to exterminate them instead because the Nazis feared that the animals had become "Jewish" animals from having lived in close proximity to their Jewish owners.

Unfortunately most of the links provided as evidence that this idea really existed don't work anymore.

Best regards
