A group of descendants from German Jews who fled the Nazis is challenging Berlin over the rejection of their citizenship applications, the Guardian reported on Wednesday.
Over 100 of such applicants established a group that aims to persuade the German government to change the laws that make them not eligible for citizenship.
According to Article 116(2) of German Basic Law, former German citizens who were deprived of their nationality during the Third Reich on political, racial or religious grounds shall have their citizenship restored upon application, the group's website explains. This also applies to their children and grandchildren.
