...These Jews did not speak a Slavic language and were very much out-of-place in Eastern Europe. The Soviets essentially had them 'trapped' behind the Iron Curtain. The NYT article tells the story of two Jewish sisters from Germany who were forcibly deported to Ukraine by the Soviets after the war, and ended up living most of their lives there. They were only able to leave after the collapse of the Soviet Union.
Millions of Jews, who could not speak a Slavic language
Source on that number of non-Slavic speaking Jewish deportees?
All Norwegian, Danish, Luxembourg, Dutch, Belgian, French, German, Austrian, Italian, Greek and any other non-Slavic speaking countries occupied by the Nazis.
Either way, Soviet suspicion towards Western Jews explains why they put a lid on such Jews they encountered in the former OET, and in some cases deported there themselves when encountering them in more Western camps.
So, where were all the millions of Jews the Nazis arrested 1939 to 1944, living in 1944? Show your evidence.
