N2 - States that Nazi ideology was directed against the Jews as a race, with no special interest in the Jewish religion, as proven by the fact that the primary victims of the persecutions were the assimilated Jews and not the religiously observant ones. Argues that although the stereotype of the religious Jew appeared in Nazi propaganda, it was the image of the Jew that was attacked, not his religion.
