Nazi ass names like Applebaum

Why you think it's nazi? It's a Jewish name, but weird, clearly from yiddish "Apfelbaum" but anglicized in first half? Should be "Appletree" if consistent. And anyone with a yiddish name no matter how changed should be anti-nazi and not anti-anti-nazi like she is.

It just sounded German as fuck with apfelbaum, which is what I also assumed the original name was before her family came to America (or whatever).

But your point is taken and I will edit that portion out.

Jews in Austria and Germany (and in relevant parts of partitioned Poland) got their surnames administratively assigned by the government. Therefore most western Ashkenazi Jews have two-part names with popular parts including "Baum", "Berg", "Feld", "Gold", "Rosen", "Apfel" etc. Here is interesting article about this, though only in polish.
