MORE DESCENDANTS OF JEWS WHO FLED NAZIS SEEKING GERMAN CITIZENSHIP AFTER BREXIT:

A rising number of descendants of Jews who settled in the United Kingdom after fleeing Nazi persecution have sought German citizenship in the wake of the British referendum vote to leave the European Union, the London-based Independent reported 4 July 2016. While the Brexit vote has spurred an increase of British nationals seeking citizenship in the remaining 27 EU member states, members of the UK's Jewish population are also among those inquiring about alternative citizenship. The report stated that dozens of Britons from various walks of UK society have sought German citizenship in the past week, while only two or three UK nationals sought German nationality per year in the past. The German Embassy in London has reportedly seen an uptick in the amount of requests for details on citizenship from descendants of refugees living in the UK, including people whose Jewish families escaped the Nazis. While some British Jews seeking German nationality are doing so due to economic concerns, others are worried about an upsurge of extremism and racism. Under Germany's law on "restored citizenship," former German citizens and their descendants, "who were persecuted on political, racial or religious grounds" by the Nazis "between January 30, 1933 and May 8, 1945," can have citizenship restored upon application.
