Half-Jew

The overwhelming majority of the so-called half-Jews were legally classified as "first-degree Jewish hybrids" during the era of Nazi Germany.

If they were classified unfavourably, they were not admitted to university; they were forced to work at an early stage or were refused a marriage permit.

[2] The Nazi Party tried - as discussed at the Wannsee Conference - to classify all "half-Jews" legally as "full Jews" and to deport them.

In August 1941 Adolf Eichmann, in agreement with Arthur Seyß-Inquart, decided to equate the "half-Jews" living in the Netherlands with the "full Jews" and to deport them.

This led to Ignaz Bubis criticising it in 1999:[5] National Socialism turned the Jew into a race and completely disregarded religion.

[6] In other languages, the word "Father-Jew", introduced by Andreas Burnier in 1995, has since spread, marking the fact that the father is a Jew, but not the mother.
