Best Answer

Unless you were an archivist for the Third Reich, there is no such thing as "part Jewish".

A person is either is or is not.

In Jewish law, if Brahms' father's mother was Jewish, then Brahms' father was Jewish.

And if Brahms' father was Jewish but his mother was not, then Brahms himself was not.

Was Johannes Brahms Jewish?

Johannes Brahms's father was rumored to be of Jewish descent (see Daniel Beller-McKenna, Revisiting the Rumor of Brahms's Jewish Descent). However, we may never know the truth.In his preface to the Foundations (xxxviii) Lord Redesdale wrote:"Some people have thought that Brahms was a Jew, that his name was a corruption of Abrahams. But this is false. Brahms came of a Silesian family, and in the Silesian dialect Brahms means a reed. (See an interesting paper in Truth of January 13, 1909)."
