Pets of Jews killed?
Pets of Jews killed?
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?

(2) What steps have you already taken to confirm or refute the information?
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.

Re: Pets of Jews killed?
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,

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

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.
