do you think it somehow contradicts the other claims? the nazis wanted to exterminate jews. they also wanted to utilize them for labor. jews were largely upper to middle class, and thus many of them had specialized skills. workers with valuable skills received better treatment, including from doctors to keep them healthy. there was also no unity within the nazi party itself regarding the treatment of jews, and the treatment was not uniform throughout the war. himmler was in favor of speeding up extermination, while goring believed that the labor jews could provide was too valuable to throw away. jews with specialized skills tended to survive longer simply because their labor was too valuable to be thrown away.
