First Supplementary Decree Of 14th November, 1935
On the basis of Article III of the Reich Citizenship Law of 25th September, 1935, the following is hereby decreed:
ARTICLE I
Until further provisions concerning citizenship papers, all subjects of German or kindred blood who possessed the right to vote in the Reich Parliament elections when the Citizenship Law came into effect, shall, for the present, possess the rights of Reich Citizens. The same shall be true of those upon whom the Reich Minister Of The Interior, in conjunction with the Deputy Of The Leader, shall confer citizenship.
The Reich Minister Of The Interior, in conjunction with the Deputy Of The Leader, may revoke citizenship.
ARTICLE II
The provisions of Article I shall apply also to subjects who are of mixed Jewish blood.
An individual of mixed Jewish blood is one who is descended from one or two grandparents who, racially, were full Jews, insofar that he is not a Jew according to Section 2 of Article V. Full blooded Jewish grandparents are those who belonged to the Jewish religious community.
ARTICLE III
Only citizens of the Reich, as bearers of full political rights, can exercise the right of voting in political matters, and have the right to hold public office. The Reich Minister Of The Interior, or any agency he empowers, can make exceptions during the transition period on the matter of holding offices. These measures do not apply to matters concerning religious organisations.
ARTICLE IV
A Jew cannot be a citizen of the Reich. He cannot exercise the right to vote; he cannot occupy public office.
Jewish officials will be retired as of December 31st, 1935. In the event that such officials served at the Front in the Great War either for Germany or her allies, they shall receive as pension, until they reach the age limit, the full salary last received, on the basis of which their pensions would have been computed. They shall not, however, be promoted according to their seniority in rank. When they reach the age limit, their pension will be computed again, according to the salary last received on which their pension was to be calculated.
These provisions do not concern the affairs of religious organisations.
The conditions regarding service of teachers in public Jewish schools remain unchanged until the promulgation of new regulations on the Jewish school system.
ARTICLE V
A Jew is an individual who is descended from at least three grandparents who were, racially, full Jews. Article II, paragraph 2, second sentence will apply.
A Jew is also an individual who is descended from two full Jewish grandparents if:(a) he was a member of the Jewish religious community when this law was issued, or joined the community later;(b) when the law was issued, he was married to a person who was a Jew, or was subsequently married to a Jew;(c) he is the issue from a marriage with a Jew, in the sense of Section 1, which was contracted after the coming into effect of the Law For The Protection Of German Blood And German Honour of September 15th, 1935 (page 1146 of 15th September, 1935);(d) he is the issue of an extramarital relationship with a Jew, according to Section 1, and born out of wedlock after July 31st, 1936.
ARTICLE VI
Insofar as there are, in the Laws of the Reich or in the decrees of the National Socialist German Workers' Party and its affiliates, certain requirements for the purity of German blood which extend beyond Article V, the same remain untouched.
Any other demands on pureness of blood, not covered in Article 5, can only be made with permission from the Reich Minister Of The Interior and the Deputy Of The Leader. If any such demands have been made, they will be void as of 1st January, 1936, if they have not been requested from the Reich Minister Of The Interior in agreement with the Deputy Of The Leader. These requests must be made from the Reich Minister Of The Interior.
ARTICLE VII
The Leader And Reich Chancellor is empowered to release anyone from the provisions of these administrative decrees.
