Euphemisms

On Wednesday, July 8, 1942 Anne reports that Margot received a call-up for "resettlement" for labor in the east. In her response Anne shows that she understands the true meaning of resettlement, "It was a great shock to me, a call-up; everyone knows what that means. I picture concentration camps and lonely cells- should we allow him to be doomed to this?" List one example of a euphemism in the language used against Jews and one from settlers used against Native Americans.
