The Judische Zeitung in a long article urged the Jewish community to adopt all converted and half Jews who wish to return to the Jewish religion. According to the paper there are many Silesians who come under the above categories who are anxious to join the Jewish community.
The Judische Rundschau, organ of the German Zionists, also devoted a long editorial to the same problem estimating that in Germany there are at least two hundred and fifty thousand non-Aryan, non-Jews. According to the new racial laws adopted by the Nazis any one who has even one non-Aryan grandparent is a non-Aryan and comes under the restrictions imposed upon those of unquestioned Jewish parentage.
