"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, doctors, and lawyers faced earlier requirements. The regime propagated the idea of Germans as a superior master race while depicting Jews as inferior. Propaganda portrayed Jews as threats to world order. The Nazis also targeted other groups with Aryan features, kidnapping children from countries like Latvia and Poland for the Lebensborn program aimed at promoting a racially valuable population.
