The original article spoke only about Judenrats in Poland territory. I added USSR territory. Were they in other countries and did they differ? Mikkalai 16:16, 10 Mar 2005 (UTC)
I think the judenrats were much worse than this article suggests - it is quite sympathetic to them. Seen 'the Pianist'?
They are really quite an important part of holocaust history, there should be more to this article.
There were indeed Judenrate (Judenrats) in every country under Nazi occupation. The moral analyses of the actions of the different Judenrate are very complex and have been discussed for many years, following Raul Hilberg's seminal work "The Destruction of the European Jews;" it is way too difficult a subject to examine in this brief comment. In any case, a Hollywood film, full of historical fictions, would not be a source worth citing (I don't mean to be rude). But I do agree with the comment that there ought to be a significant article on the Judenrate, both their history and a bibliographical list on the moral questions. Unfortunately, this is an area of Holocaust History about which I do not feel qualified to write. A major work to start with is Isaiah Trunk's "Judenrat," which I believe to be the major work on this subject, as of this date.66.108.4.183 21:05, 10 May 2006 (UTC) Allen Roth
