So today during the Literature lesson our teacher was telling us about Ivan Bunin and she mentioned that during the nazi occupation of France in WW2 Bunin was hiding a Jewish musician, they went to the church and converted the musician to Christianity, when the German soldiers came to search Bunins house they found the Jewish musician and wanted to take him but Bunin and his wife showed the soldiers a certificate that showed the Jew became Christian. Was this possible because I'm pretty sure Adolf Hitler hated Jews as a people not the religion of Judaism.
I'm sorry for any grammar and spelling mistakes i'm on mobile and English isn't my mother tongue. Also sorry if I got some terminology and facts wrong.
No, absolutely not.
Hitler retained less control over the SA and Gestapo than one might think, so that one case you mentioned is likely a. untrue b. mischaracterized c. an anomaly.
Nazi understandings of Judaism were really hard to characterize, especially when it gone down to the issue of who was "Jewish enough," in terms of blood or appearance. Essentially, they settled on, "if you seem Jewish, you're too Jewish."
Also, this gets a little metaphysical, but bear with me, the Nazis couldn't decide if Jewishness was a culture, a religion, or a race, so they decided it was both all and neither. Here you see a respected Nazi author/Military strategist refuting Judaism as a surmountable state, whether by appearance, religion, heritage, or behavior. A lot of Hitler's endgame involved the idea that certain races were suited for certain climates, and certain subraces were the best of those races. For example, German was the best European race, so Germany would rule over Europe; Japan was the best Asian race and so Japan would rule Asia. There was still an idea of a racial hierarchy, but there was also the importance of a nation or a land as a basis for someone's identity.
The speech above is particularly relevant because he specifically states that a "baptized Jew" is still a Jew. Jewishness is in the blood.
Jews, on the other hand, had no land, so in a sense, they had no race. Jewishness was truly considered a blood contamination, a defect. Jews were not the race "Jewish", they were considered mongrels, a sort of bastard race created from Asian, Arabic, African, and European blood--essentially, what happens when you mix all the sodas together from the soda fountain--gross, useless, bad for you, and will end up going down the drain.
