Best Answer

The Nuremberg Laws of 1935 established three categories of 'Jewishness':

1. 'Full Jews' - three or four Jewish grandparents; also anyone who belonged to a Jewish congregation.

2. 'Half Jews' - two Jewish grandparents.

3. 'Quarter Jews' - only one Jewish grandparent.

(For membership of the SS one was supposed to show that one had no Jewish ancestors since 1750).

Before the passing of the Nuremberg Laws, the criteria were haphazard.

Anyone with more than two Jewish grandparents and anyone who practised the Jewish religion. Subject to various conditions, people with one or two Jewish grandparents were classified as 'mischlings', that is 'mixed race', and their position was precarious.

The Nazis distinguished three levels of Jewishness: 1. Full Jew: anyone with three or four Jewish grandparents. (Also all practising Jews, regardless of heritage). 2. Half Jews: anyone with two Jewish grandparents. 3. Quarter Jews: one Jewish grandparent.
