Those poor bastards "didn't make the cut", as Mr. Keller so indelicately stated. They were culled because Jews didn't meet Nazi standards for eugenics.</div><div style="background-color: #fdfdfd;" data-mce-style="background-color: #fdfdfd;"><br></div><div style="background-color: #fdfdfd;" data-mce-style="background-color: #fdfdfd;">See: <a class="Object" id="OBJ_PREFIX_DWT2968_com_zimbra_url" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ponary_massacre" target="_blank" aria-haspopup="true" tabindex="0" style="color: #336699; text-decoration: none; cursor: pointer;" data-mce-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ponary_massacre" data-mce-style="color: #336699; text-decoration: none; cursor: pointer;">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ponary_massacre</a></div><div style="background-color: #fdfdfd;" data-mce-style="background-color: #fdfdfd;"><br></div><div style="background-color: #fdfdfd;" data-mce-style="background-color: #fdfdfd;">Kazimierz Sakowicz later put down his pen and picked up a gun.

I even object to those words being used when talking about animals.
