Well he denied being a Jew, though his mother was he said he never was raised Jewish in any way. So while he met the Jewish definition of being Jewish it's not a label he would ever use for himself.
- whateveracct 4y agoUsually when people talk about genocide of Jews, they don't care if they're practicing or were raised that way.
- neaden 4y agoUsually yes but we are talking about Fischer here, whose anti-Semitism was a bit different then the standard.
- cjbgkagh 4y agoThe Nuremberg Laws had a carve out for 50% mixed non-practicing Jews. The Nazis wouldn’t have considered him Jewish. I suppose you mean modern examples but I haven’t been paying enough attention to know.
- greedo 4y agoMischlinge were not considered German nor Jewish, by the Nuremberg race laws, but experienced discrimination as well. They weren't citizens, had no political rights, and most people doing the oppression didn't differentiate between between Jews and Mischlinge.

- greedo 4y agoAs with many of the Nazi regulations, they were quite elaborate as they tried to thread competing motivations. Being active in the faith wasn't a binary test for determining if someone was a Jew or was Mischlinge.
