The Three Websites That I Used For My Research Are:
The Holocaust History Project
This site is credible, as it is a ".org" and it is the official website of the Holocaust memorial museum. It contains a large amount of links to other information about the Holocaust.
Jewish Virtual Library
This website is valid because it is a ".org" website. It also gives the author and source information at the bottom of the page.
Ann Frank Website
To begin with, this website is valid because it has the ".org extension. Also, it includes lots of links and information about all things that have to do with the Holocaust, including Ann Frank.
What I Learned!
The Nazi's would figure out who was Jewish by looking through tax returns, census records, and also by questioning relatives and neighbors(Website #1). In occupied Nazi Germany, many Jews were identified by Jewish community memberships, identity papers, and also by police records(Website #1). Also, Nazi's required Jews to wear the star of David so the Germans could easily identify who was Jewish.
On November 14, 1935, the Nazis issued the following definition of a Jew:
According to the laws, ethnicity and not religion was used to determine who was Jewish. Whoever had 3-4 Jewish grandparents was considered to be Jewish(Website #3). Even if you were Jewish, but considered yourself German, you were still stripped of your German citizenship. Jews were not allowed to marry Germans, and carrying identity papers was strongly enforced(Website #3).
