Definition: Arapahite, a Hebrew term, refers to an individual who has lost one's Jewish identity or religion. It could describe someone with no connection to Judaism, living as a non-Jewish person in a Jewish context; they may be referred to as a "Jewish person" by the Jewish community but not by the secular world. The term "arapahite" is often associated with Holocaust victims who did not recognize their Jewish heritage and were persecuted by the Nazis for it.
