True, but I would argue there has been serious persecution at least from 1936 onward. I guess I meant they first got deported, then murdered. This is also what it looked like where they lived. They were put on trains (and I would argue, things were rather clear from, say 1941 onward. "Wir haben est nicht gewusst" is bullshit). Before 1940 or so, it was only deportation. Later forced labor, then mass-murder. This was accepted and even assisted (e.g. the "Jewish councils") by perpetrators ... and by victims, and by wittnesses. Please don't think that I intend to deny what happened, that is not at all what I intended. I guess I've just read the term deported many times online, and in movies. I feel somewhat ashamed that I do see what you mean complaining about that being a euphemism and I do apologize deeply. That was not clear to me, but it should have been.
