109 Jewish grandparents. Contemporary legal commentator J. Hoffmann states: "The reason why the Imperial Regulations applied racially to the racial affiliation of grandparents in determining their personal status is that the commentators of Nuremberg laws explain that there was an attempt to get closer in determining race at the beginning of 19. a century when © under the then confessions-covered racial jurisdiction of Jewish almost unreservedly with membership of the Israeli religion. Although the concept of a Jew is racially understood in Nuremberg laws and not confesionally, it was necessary, for practical reasons, to adhere essentially to the criteria of religion. (291) In order to facilitate proof of whether or not a Jew was a Jew, a special certificate was introduced.It was issued on the basis of official proof of origin by the district office and in cities with its own status as a local authority. On the basis of the Government's proposal, the State President could then remove the person who was Jewish from the reach of Government Decree No. 136/1940 Coll. on the legal status of Jews in public life and allow it to be used socially, otherwise it is prohibited. (292) Helena Petrův in his publication on the status of Jewish people in the Protectorate, among other things. He points out that when issuing all anti-Jewish measures, the Nazis carefully took care of their legality. To this end they issued not only their own, imperial regulations, but also used the law still in force in Bohemia and Moravia, which they changed according to their current needs. 330/1938 Coll. of 15 December on the legislative powers of the President and of the Government, which was changed several times by the Reich Protector, was the subject of all the government's anti-Jewish regulations. (293) The consequence of the implementation of anti-Jewish measures was not only the persecution of Jews as an unequal population group, but also the liquidation of the fundamental values of the law, which was gradually limited to the mere regulation of the Nazi state machinery, operating in the name of the idea of blood solidarity and racial inequality. The normalization of Nuremberg racial laws and their application in the Protectorate was forced (194), but the most shameful capitulation of the so-called autonomous authorities before the Nazi power. Even the protectorate can therefore be referred to Hitler's words that the day will come in Germany when he will become a disgrace to be a lawyer. (295)
