Nazi genocide of Jews was framed as deportation within a continental resettlement plan

Evidence

It is similarly hard to come to grips with the fact that “the deportation of the Jews” (as the annihilation of European Jewry was officially defined), derived its meaning in Nazi thinking from the overall, audacious plan of wholesale Umsiedlung - the vision of a European continent in which well nigh everyone will be transported from their present, contingent site to the place where reason orders them to be (see Aly and Heim’s (1991) penetrating and thoroughly researched study). Or to accept that the extermination of the Jews (and Gypsies) was conceived in the framework of a total “cleansing operation” (which included also the mentally deficient, physically handicapped, ideologically deviant, and sexually unorthodox) by a state powerful enough, and sufficiently protected and immune against all opposition, to afford such total plans and to execute them without fear of effective dissent. — David Theo Goldberg, John Solomos, A Companion to Racial and Ethnic Studies, 444

Categorization

• DEFINE: Explains the official Nazi euphemism ‘deportation of the Jews’ as derived from the broader planned Umsiedlung, resurfacing how state language reframed genocide as logistics.
• XREF: Connects to vault discussions of bureaucratic euphemism and how administrative language renders atrocity routine, echoing Adorno on manipulative types and the ‘doing’ orientation.
• corroborated: 2 independent passages support this claim — David Theo Goldberg, John Solomos, A Companion to Racial and Ethnic Studies, 444
