The Jewish Community of Berlin today announced regulations governing admission of “non-Aryans” to membership under a Prussian law of July 23, 1847. on the status of Jewish communities.
The regulations are the result of an increasing number of applications by “non-Aryans” who prefer to give up their anomalous status of being neither Jewish or “Aryan.”
The regulations admit the following categories:
First, children of legally married Jewish parents;
Second, illegitimate offspring of unmarried Jewesses;
Third, children of mixed marriages in which the father is Jewish;
Fourth, anyone formally adopted by a Jewish religious body.
