The 3 websites I used to conduct my research are:
ushmm.org
This website is a ".org" which means that it is credible. It has more than 3 hyperlinks that work. It also lets you contact the author of the website.
jewish virtual library
This website is also a ".org" which means that it is credible. The website is still supported due to the 2014 at the bottom of the site. It also lets you contact the author as well.
holocaust research project
This website is another ".org" website which makes it automatically credible. It also was recently posted in 2010. It also lists a site of sources to use as references.
The findings!
HOW DID THE NAZIS CLASSIFY SOMEONE AS BEING JEWISH?
The first website explained the Nuremberg Laws and how they applied to some being classified as a Jew. The laws said that anyone who had three or four Jewish grandparents was defined as a Jew, regardless of whether or not that the individual identified himself or herself as a Jew or belonged to the Jewish religious community (Website 1). The site even said that people with Jewish grandparents who had converted to Christianity were defined as Jews (Website 1). All these laws were applied regarding the Jews on September 15, 1935. They later banned marriage between Jews and non-Jews so they wouldn't be classified as a Jew.
The second website explained in further detail what the Nuremberg Laws said about classifying people as being Jewish. It said that anyone with three Jewish grandparents; someone with two Jewish grandparents who belonged to the Jewish community on September 15, 1935, or joined thereafter; was married to a Jew or Jewess on September 15, 1935, or married one thereafter; was the offspring of a marriage or extramarital liaison with a Jew on or after September 15, 1935 (Website 2). This website also assigned names to the the classification of the Jews. Those with 2 Jewish grandparents were called Mischlinge of the first degree. Those with one Jewish grandparent were referred to as Mischlinge of the second degree (Website 2).
The third website mentioned more detail about the two websites above. It said that many debates were held on how classifying people as Jews should go. There was a debate that people with mixed percentages should be considered Jewish or not (Website 3). There was also a debate about conversion that tried to specify which conversions to Judaism are valid or invalid (Website 3). There as also another debate about how people's actions or circumstances in their life affect their status as being a Jew (Website 3). This is how the Nazis classified people as being Jewish.
