Established membership in the jewish race as being anyone who either considered themselves Jewish or had three or four Jewish grandparents. People with one or two Jewish grandparents were considered to be mixed race. Eventually anyone with at least on jewish grandparent was at risk in Nazi Germany. Jews could only marry Jews.No sexual relations between non-Jewish Germans and Jews.
Nazis boycott Jewish-owned businesses. In 1939 Jews had to start wearing the arm bands or pins with the star of david on them. Their are five death camps Majdanek, Sobibor, Treblinka, Belzec, and Auschwitz.
