Nazism believed that the Nordic Race/Culture constituted a superior branch of humanity, and viewed International Jewry as a parasitic and inferior race, determined to corrupt and exterminate both Nordic peoples and their culture through Rassenschande ("racial pollution") and cultural corruption.

As defined by the Nuremberg Laws in 1935, a Jew was a person – regardless of religious affiliation or self-identification – who had at least three grandparents who had been enrolled with a Jewish congregation. A person with two Jewish grandparents was also legally "Jewish" if that person met any of these conditions:

  • Was enrolled as member of a Jewish congregation when the Nuremberg Laws were issued, or joined later.
  • Was married to a Jew.
  • Was the offspring from a marriage with a Jew, which was concluded after the ban on mixed marriages.
  • Was the offspring of an extramarital affair with a Jew, born out of wedlock after 31 July 1936.

Italy, 1938
