equivalent to careercruising.com

edit

Is there a website that is equivalent to careercruising.com when it comes to listing universities and community colleges for U.K., France, India, Germany, Italy, Portugal, Arab World, Holland, Spain, Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Australia? I am asking this because I want to know which institutions offer History and Geography programs and Liberal Arts.

The Holocaust - German or Jewish language?

edit

During the Holocaust, did the Nazis spoke to the Jews of Europe in their languages (e.g. French, Polish, Dutch, Hungarian) or German? 86.128.175.37 (talk) 20:46, 5 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

A) there is not a "one size fits all" answer to this question and B) you have already been provided with some answers here #The Pianist - German-speaking Nazis in Poland. MarnetteD|Talk 21:14, 5 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I would add that Fascists tend not to develop their foreign language skills (Hans Landa notwithstanding).--Shantavira|feed me 09:26, 6 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
The soldiers in the occupying armies of the Third Reich – who were conscripts, and not necessarily convinced Nazis – generally did not know any of the languages spoken in the occupied countries. The members of the Einsatzgruppen were mostly NSDAP volunteers, but they also generally only spoke German and would shout commands like Halt! and Aufmachen! in German. For communicating with the local populations such as in interrogations, they mainly relied on collaborating interpreters.  --Lambiam 12:02, 6 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
