Quote by Jon Stewart
Nazi Germany was so destructive to Judaism not only for the loss of life, but because many who survived began to see the practice of Judaism as somewhat of a health hazard.
Summary
This quote suggests that the harm caused by Nazi Germany to Judaism went beyond the loss of lives and extended to the perception of Judaism itself. Survivors of the Holocaust, who experienced the horrors inflicted upon them due to their Jewish identity, may have developed a sense of fear and trauma attached to practicing Judaism. This created an association between Judaism and the danger to one's physical and mental well-being, which further eroded the communal and spiritual fabric of Jewish life in the aftermath of the Holocaust.
