My German Father told me how German speaking Prussian and Austrian Border guards gave Jews their ridiculous names, and how Jews have never forgiven Germans to this day for playing such a joke on them:
The word 'Witz', in German means 'Joke'.
Imagine it's about 1830 and on Austria's eastern border. Deep in the Forest is a hut with several bigoted old Austrian officials, whose function it is to control the border. Along comes a family of Jews, dressed in rags, running away from some swindle their tribe has committed further east and speaking their Jiddish which is (barely) understandable by the German speaking Austrians if spoken very slowly.
The Austrian asks the head of this clan for their names. The Jew mutters something incomprehensible and the other Austrians, laughing, point to the old man with a large hole in his trousers through which they see his leg. So they decide to call him and the entire family, 'Weissbein' which in German means, 'white leg'. The Austrians are guffawing with laughter when another mob of shabby Kikes come along with nothing to offer as a bribe apart from some trinket in a gold colour. The Austrians again cannot (can't be bothered) to accurately write their names, simply call them, 'Goldfarb' which German means 'Gold Colour'. This is how you get all those 'Mineral' Jews, Goldberg (Mountain) Goldsmith, Silverstein, Diamant, Eisenberg, (Iron) etc etc. If the Austrians were having a really fun day, they'd call some poor bastard, 'Dreyfuss' (Three Feet) or Fishbein (Fish LEG) You also have 'Fruit' Jews, Birnbaum (Pear tree) Apfelbaum (Appletree) Nussbaum (Nut Tree) Then there's the Biblical Jews, Abrahams, Adams
Sadly, the silly old Austrians never realised all those shabby Jews they let in would before long take complete control of their country and rule with an Iron fist, which they do today, nearly 200 years later in almost all countries they have settled.
