Can you tell who is a Jew?

The Nuremberg Laws forbade marriages between Aryans and Jews. But the question remained: Who was a Jew? This chart, produced by the German government, explains which unions were forbidden. These included marriages between those of ÀGerman bloodÀ and full or Àhalf Jews,À as well as those between Jews and people of one-quarter Jewish heritage. Further, the state prohibited marriages between Àquarter JewsÀ and any other marriages that might somehow ÀpolluteÀ the German blood of one of the partners. Moreover, those Aryans who had married half or quarter Jews before 1935 were encouraged to seek divorce.
