Good Point. Hebrew very likely would have become de facto language without the Holocaust, but it sureley served at least as a final coffin nail. While many still understood German, who wanted to hear it or even speak it? The sheer effect on a personal level Must have been tremendous for so many speakers. An absolouteley subjective Note: When listening to todays Hebrew, I can't let go of hearing a German talking. Besides from a couple of sounds (like the "ch" in "chuzpe" and some vocal pronounciations) I feel like I could easily learn to speak hebrew (without knowing what I'm saying of course). English native speakers might relate when imagining German and Israeli people speaking english.
