[The number of Jews in Germany:
Officially 499,682 - plus 1/4, 1/2 and 3/4 Jews - are 760,000]
The total number of Jews in Germany in 1933 was officially listed as
499,682. However, this included only people who had declared themselves
as Jews by religion. Additional tens of thousands of people were Jewish
by Nazi definition.
There were 50,000 individuals who were sons and
daughters of Jewish parents but did not belong to the Jewish community
living in Germany at that time, an estimated 35,000 of whom were
partners in mixed marriages.
So-called
three-quarter Jews
(that is,
people who had only one non-Jewish grandparent but did not belong to
the Jewish community) numbered about 2,000.
Half Jews (that is, people
who had two non-Jewish grandparents) were estimated at 210,000 people,
and
quarter Jews were
estimated at 80,000 individuals.
This meant that
what the Nazis considered to be the non-Aryan population of Germany -
that is, Jews, three-quarter Jews, and half Jews - numbered together
about 760,000 people. (p.114)
