Original Note:
The Hebrew word "Ashkenaz" is mentioned in the Bible three times and has been used since medieval times to refer to the area of Germany. The term "Ashkenazi" came to describe the diaspora Jews who lived in Germany and migrated to other parts of Europe. No connection to "Nazi." https://forward.com/culture/13681/the-origins-of-ashkenaz-02111
