As of
January 1, 1939, all Jews except for those who had typical Jewish
names were required to take on new middle names: "Israel"
in the case of men, and "Sarah" for women. They were
ordered to register these names at the population registry offices
and to invoke the added name wherever their names were mentioned or
used and in any official document. The new rule also prohibited Jews
from giving their children any name on a list of "German"
names. |
