Description
Looks at the life history of a former 'Jewish mischling' in Germany to exemplify the ways in which circumstances such as age, gender and religious affiliation affected the diverse treatment of individuals belonging to this persecuted group. Ralf G's personal narrative is contexualised within the Nazi debate on the definition and treatment of 'mixed-race Jews' to show how these discourses and political practices impacted on the individual self-construction of persons from intermarried backgrounds at the time of persecution and into the post-war period
