During World War II, the Nazis killed nearly 6 million Jews, and in addition to the Nazis being particularly ruthless, there were many Jews who aided and abetted the Nazis to kill people, which can be called "Jew traitors". The Nazis paid special attention to the cultivation of "Jews", but these "Judahs", like all traitors, often waited for their fate of rabbits and dogs.
In occupied Areas of Europe, Nazi Germany often concentrated local Jews in specific areas, known as "ghettos". The Gestapo selected the more prestigious of the local Jews and formed the Jewish Residents' Council, named Judenrat in English. These members of the Jewish Residents' Committee were often "Judahs."
A Jewish residents' committee during World War II
In June 1941, Nazi Germany invaded Lithuania and immediately began a holocaust plan against the Jews. The Lithuanian capital, Vilnius, soon established a Jewish ghetto, and the Germans violently expelled all Jews from their homes and concentrated on a traditional Jewish community in the city.
The Germans soon found "Jews" among this group of Jews, established Jewish residents' committees, were responsible for administering the Jews, and communicating with the Nazis, most typically a man named Jacob Gens.

Born into a merchant family, Gass had joined the Lithuanian army as a captain. He holds degrees in law and economics, and has worked as a teacher, accountant, and civil servant. Before the Nazi invasion of Lithuania, Geis served as the director of the Jewish Hospital in Vilnius and was a leading figure among the local Jews.
After the Nazi invasion, Gass was favored by the Germans, became the head of the Jewish residents' committee, and became the head of the local Jewish police station, becoming a pawn of the Germans.
The Germans wanted to gather the Jews firstly to facilitate the plundering of their wealth and secondly to facilitate the killing of people. Gass carried out the Germans' orders accurately.
In October and December 1941, the German Nazis hunted down a group of Jewish opponents and sent them to Bonari, not far from Vilnius. The Germans established concentration camps in Bonari specifically for the slaughter of Jews. Gass was responsible for identifying and capturing uncooperative Jews and sending them to Bonari. Under his command, tens of thousands of Jews were sent to the brink of extinction.
Bonali waited for the slain Jews
The Bonauri massacre lasted until the end of Nazi rule. Before the German invasion, there were about 80,000 Jews in Vilnius, and after the end of World War II, there were only 7,000 Jews left in the city, most of whom were handed over to the Germans through Gass' hand. It can be said that Gas's hands were stained with Jewish blood.
Because Gas was the head of the Jewish police, the Nazi authorities also authorized him to be responsible for the security of the Jewish ghetto. The Jews living in the ghetto were responsible for the execution of punishments, including the death penalty, whenever they committed crimes, and he once executed 6 Jews sentenced to death at one time.
Of course, Gass himself did not consider himself a "Jews" or a traitor, he always believed that Germany was so powerful that only by cooperating with the Germans could the Jews be preserved. On the question of betraying his fellow Jews, he felt that he was sacrificing some and thus preserving most.
Nazi police and Jews in Vilnius
Ghaith was not the kind of villain who, although he cooperated with the Nazis in killing his compatriots, he did protect the Jews in his daily work, for example, he used his connections with the Nazi authorities to help his rulers get more jobs.
On one occasion, a Jewish man with a work permit in his hand tried to pass through the barriers in the ghetto, and he was stopped by guards with three children. According to the local regulations of the Nazi authorities, a work permit could only carry two children plus a spouse through the checkpoint, and more than that was sent to Bonari for execution. If the decree is strictly enforced, a child will be killed.
Gass stopped the man on the spot and told him to wait on the sidelines. After a while, another Jewish man passed through the checkpoint with a small child, and Gass pulled a child from the man in front of him and stuffed it into the man in front of him, and loudly reprimanded the man for not taking the child well and letting the child run around. In this way, the two Jewish families were able to pass the border smoothly.
The level of the entrance to the ghetto
Gyes's attitude toward the Jewish resistance was also contradictory, on the one hand, he opposed any resistance group to take confrontational actions against the Nazis, believing that these actions would anger the Nazis and affect the survival of the Jews; on the other hand, he would secretly help the resistance groups escape the ghetto and secretly provide financial assistance to these resistance groups.
Yitzhak Wittenberg, the leader of a Jewish resistance group who was seen as a thorn in the side by the Nazi authorities, ordered Gas to seize Wittenberg. Gas spread rumors that if the Germans failed to capture Wittenberg, they would kill all the Jews in the ghetto, eventually forcing Wittenberg to turn himself in, and Gass personally poisoned him with cyanide.
You see, Gass is a very contradictory "Jew." He will both betray and protect his countrymen. To put it bluntly, he was afraid of death, so he chose to cooperate with the Germans. But he also hoped that the Jews would drive out the Germans, so he secretly engaged in some actions to protect his own people.
The Jewish ghetto of Vilnius
As mentioned earlier, the Germans set up ghettos and formed Jewish residents' committees to plunder wealth and facilitate management, and the ultimate goal was to kill people more effectively. All of Gass's cooperative actions, in the eyes of the Germans, were to take care of the Jews so that they could kill people at the end.
In September 1943, Gáiss was arrested and shot by the Nazi authorities for funding a Jewish resistance organization. A few months later, the Nazis launched a massacre of Jews in the ghetto. Working with the Nazis, Gass's attempts to preserve the Jews were ultimately unsuccessful, and he could not even save his own life.
Over the years, many have exalted Jews and Israel to heaven, as if the Jews were a flawless, perfect people. The fate of Gass tells us that the Jews were also spies and traitors, and they were not so innocent. In addition, the guy Guy reminds me of a Chinese with the surname Wang, you know.
