Nazi Germany and the forced renaming of Jews

I think that's pretty important, and makes sense of subsequent use of the name.

Add Ysrael?

 * I just added them in this edit, along with Yisrael and Yisroel names. They are all transliterations of the same Hebrew name ישראל, so they should be included. Havradim leaf a message  11:49, 25 January 2022 (UTC)
