September 15, 1935: Two separate laws: • The Law for the Protection of German Blood and German Honor • The Reich Citizenship Law
Legal definition for Jew by these Laws • An individual with three or more Jewish grandparents was classified as a full Jew. • An individual with two Jewish grandparents was considered a Mischling of the first degree, or half Jew. • Mischlinge of the first degree were broken down into two sub-groups:
1) Individuals who were married to a Jew or had been members in the Jewish community were referred to as Geltungsjuden and were treated as full Jews and subject to the persecution and restrictive laws. They could only marry other Jews or other Geltungsjuden. 2) Individuals with two Jewish grandparents who were baptized into the Protestant or Catholic tradition were known as Mischlinge. They were able to keep their citizenship; eventually their rights were taken away and they were treated like the Geltungsjuden.
Individuals with one Jewish grandparent was considered a Mischling of the second degree, or quarter Jew. These individuals were allowed to keep German citizenship. After Hitler issued an order in 1940, quarter Jews could not recieve promotions in the military.They were only allowed to marry Germans.
The Reich Citizenship Law: • took away German citizenship from all full Jews and Geltungsjuden • prohibited Jews from flying the German flag (in December 1936 this was extended to any Germans married to Jews) • prohibited Jews from employing Germans as domestic servants • prohibited sexual relations between Aryans and Jews • prohibited marriage between Aryans and Jews
