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.

I don't understand why they don't like to think of it as a concept. If they don't "believe" in it, all they have to do is prove that such a system is illogical (which doesn't seem to be the case, at least in modern mathematics). Learn2separate reality from imagination and artificial constructs.
