From the outset, it was clear what the Nazi movement stood for, as most of its ideas and political aims had been promulgated quite openly and plainly. Pure aggression was among the characteristic features of Nazism. Nazi ideology, based on the feeling of exceptionality, emerged from anti-Semitism and extreme nationalism. Only individuals of German blood – for whom the term Volksgenossen (fellow countrymen) was coined ‒ were considered “members of the nation“. Jews, on the other hand, were deemed to be parasites and the archenemy of Germany. Everything was to be given a “legal frameework“. A decision was soon taken to issue two new laws – the Reich Citizenship Law and the Law for the Protection of German Blood and German Honour. The Reich Citizenship Law stipulated that only individuals of “German or kindred blood“ may be Reich citizens. During the Nazi occupation, German citizenship filtered into what is today the Czech Republic. Under the German legal norms of the time, individuals of German origin acquired the Reich citizenship.
