Judaism is not just a religion; it is first and foremost an ethnicity!. You are Jewish if your mother was Jewish, regardless of whether you actually practice the religion!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

The whole hatred of Jewish people comes from the fact they are seen as a different race, not just religion, especially by the nazis!.

They measured people's heads to test if they were Jewish because they wrongly thought that Jewish people were physically different from Germans!.

It wouldn't have made a difference whether they converted to Christianity, they would have still been part of a perceived 'inferior' race, just like the Poles and Russians (who were mainly Christian) were also seen by the Nazis!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

It did not matter!. The nazis determined who was or was not Jewish!. nazis thought that being Jewish was a matter of race, not religion, so it did not matter if someone converted or not!.

also, do not call them concentration camps!. They were murder factories!. at Auswitz, Treblinka, Maidenek, Stutthof, and others, up to ninety per cent of all incoming people were murdered, regardless of religion!. They went right from the trains to the gas chambers!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

i would agree with you on the part of keeping them there, but i do not agree fully about them lying!. may jews could have lied and gotten away without suffering, but they chose not to, as they wanted to show that they were jewish!. they wanted to keep their identity!. however, some people undoubtedly did lie, and survive, and some did not make it even if they tried to lie!.

but otherwise, to answer your question, they would still keep them there, becuase after realising the conditions may people would lie (as they were told it was just hard labour, and it was - except that it meant death afterwards)Www@QuestionHome@Com

It didn't matter!. The Nazis did not see the Jews as a religious group, they saw them as a genetic race, just like blacks or asians or whatever!. Their religion really didn't matter!. As a matter of fact, practicing Christians who had Jewish parents or grandparents were still labeled as 'Jew"!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

The Nazis were not interested in the religion of people, but in their race!. Though it is true that the Ustase (who were Nazi collaborators) did forcefully convert Serbs to Catholicism!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

It did not matter when they converted!. They could have been raised Christian, but in the end the Nazi considered them a Jew if the mother was a Jew!. It had to do with the faith being passed down by the mother!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

unfortunately yes they would probably still be killed!. a lot of non-jews were killed in concentration camps!. if you were suspected of being a Jewish sympathizer you were punished or killed as well!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

It wouldn't have mattered because even if you were Christian and you had Jewish ancestry the Nazis would have put you in a concentration camp anywayWww@QuestionHome@Com

It had nothing to do with being Christian!. It was about Hitler, power, and the insanity that was going on in the world at that time!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I don't think they really cared about the religion!. To the Nazis, they weren't German/Anglos and therefore weren't worthy of breathing!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

They weren't hated because of their religious practices!. It was because of their race!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

they didn't care if they were practicing or not they were born to a jewish family!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Of course they would!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Don't think the Nazis would really give a ****!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

yaa sadly he/she will still be there until death or until they came with help!. =[Www@QuestionHome@Com

i doubt that they would of cared that muchWww@QuestionHome@Com
