1. Translation Notes
Several interpretive choices were made in the English translation:
• "Juden" literally means "Jews" but was translated to "Jewish people."
• "Bürger" literally means "citizens" but was translated to "residents."
• "Vernichtungslagern" translates literally to "extermination camps" but "concentration camps" was used.
• Several choices in change of syntax were made based on common word order choices between German and English.
