British Jews seek German citizenship on Brexit fears

Anyone of Jewish descent (see below) whose citizenship was revoked by Nazi-era ordinances passed between January 1933 and May 1945 is entitled to have it restored. The rule also applies to their descendants.

The German Embassy in London confirmed they had received more than 400 enquires in the seven weeks since the Brexit vote, at least 100 of which have already been converted into firm applications for citizenship.

And there may be many more applications to come when the details of Britain’s post-Brexit relationship with Europe become clear, according to Michael Newman, the chief executive of the Association of Jewish Refugees (AJR).

Note: Whoever, in connection with persecution practiced by the National-Socialist regime, has acquired foreign citizenship without having been previously deprived of his/her German citizenship has a claim to naturalization under §12 of the Law on the Settlement of Citizenship Issues of February 22, 1995. Descendants of these persons were entitled to claim citizenship only until December 31, 1970.
