How did the Nazi decide who was Jewish?

• The Nazis decided if a persons parents were
  Jewish, then they were Jewish.
  
• However, if only one of their grandparents had
  been Jewish then they could be classified as
  being German.
  
• In 1940, all Jews had to have their passports
  stamped with the letter J and had to wear the
  yellow Star of David on their jacket or coat.
  
• As the Nazis conquered new countries, France,
  Russia, Poland, Yugoslavia, they had doctors
  examine potential Jews.

• In Germany they first came for the Communists,
  and I didnt speak up because I wasnt a
  Communist. Then they came for the Jews, and I
  didnt speak up because I wasnt a Jew. Then they
  came for the trade unionists, and I didnt speak
  up because I wasnt a trade unionist. Then they
  came for the Catholics, and I didnt speak up
  because I was a Protestant. Then they came for me
  and by that time no one was left to speak up.

-Reverend Martin Niemoeller, Protestant minister,
Germany, and concentration camp survivor
