"From 1935, all German citizens had to provide what was known as an 'Ariernachweis' or Aryan certificate to prove that their ancestors did not include Jewish or Romani people for at least three generations."
"The Nazis declared Germans to be the 'superior master race' and saw Jews as an 'inferior race,' whose members were first systematically excluded and then murdered."
"When they encountered blond and blue-eyed children in countries like Latvia or Poland, they had no scruples about kidnapping them and sending them to homes run as part of the 'Lebensborn' eugenics program."
The Nazi regime mandated that all German citizens provide an Aryan certificate to prove their ancestry, excluding Jewish or Romani lineage for three generations. Civil servants had to submit this proof earlier. The Nazis propagated the idea of a superior Aryan race while depicting Jews as inferior and dangerous. They used propaganda to promote antisemitic stereotypes and kidnapped children with Aryan features from other countries for Germanization under the Lebensborn program, aiming to increase a racially valuable population as envisioned by Heinrich Himmler.
