some-controversy

german jewish last name

is this a thing, btw? I always thought it was just that german last names got associated with jews due to the holocaust targeting jews from germany. are there actually certain names specific (or at least overrepresented) among german jews?

Wikipedia say it is It is

surname of German, Prussian, and Yiddish origin

[-] Barabas@hexbear.net 10 points 3 months ago

Because Austria-Hungary and Prussia banned patronyms in favour of family names in the 18th century, so Jews in the area adopted German surnames.

Also that Yiddish is largely based on German.

It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
