>Cantor was frequently described as Jewish in his lifetime

It seems clear that Nazi Germany did severely persecute what it defined as “Jewish mathematics”. In his book “History of Mathematics: A Supplement” (Springer 2007) Craig Smorynski said: “… the change of mathematical direction … would reach an extreme in the 1930s with the nazi distinction between good German-Aryan anschauliche (intuitive) mathematics and the awful Jewish tendency toward abstraction and casuistry.

BTW, Zermelo and Fraenkel - both jewish.

Fraenkel was a fervent Zionist and as such was a member of Jewish National Council and the Jewish Assembly of Representatives

A set is a Many that allows itself to be thought of as a One. -- Georg Cantor

The fear of infinity is a form of myopia that destroys the possibility of seeing the actual infinite, even though it in its highest form has created and sustains us, and in its secondary transfinite forms occurs all around us and even inhabits our minds. -- Georg Cantor

I have never proceeded from any Genus supremum of the actual infinite. Quite the contrary, I have rigorously proved that there is absolutely no Genus supremum of the actual infinite. What surpasses all that is finite and transfinite is no Genus; it is the single, completely individual unity in which everything is included, which includes the Absolute, incomprehensible to the human understanding. This is the Actus Purissimus, which by many is called God. -- Georg Cantor
