Judenrein (also Judenfrei) was a term used by Nazis during the Holocaust to designate an area free of Jewish presence. Literally, this German word means free of Jews. Establishments, villages, cities, and regions were declared Judenrein after they were ethnically cleansed of Jews.
Judenfrei was first used in Germany in the 19th century.
