Nazi Family Research Records

X-No-archive: yes
I am looking for files that the Nazi's created when they investigate
families for Jewish members. I understand they traced these family back
hundreds of years.

Question: Did they survive the war and if so where are they kept? Are they
accessible and if so how? Is there a searchable database?

Researching:
KARAN (CHARON, KHARON, KHARAKH, CHARACH) and KNIGER from Kopyl; Grozovo;
Chepeli; Slutsk, Belarus, PERSKY from Kremenchuk, Ukraine EPSTEIN from
Kobrin, Belarus

I'm not an expert, but I believe they only required proof that all
4 grandparents were not Jewish. I think your best bet is to contact
the USHMM, <https://www.ushmm.org/>, who have a lot of material and
expertise.

That's my understanding as well (though could still go back a long way
if the subject was either already old or the child or grandchild of an
"older-parent"), except for those that wanted to join the Party, and
even more so for the SS.

See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aryan_certificate and
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ahnenpass (I've seen an Ahnenpass like
that illustrated in the second URL - filled for 6 generations back
because the subject became interested in genealogy; he did not join
the Party.)

I cannot remember whether a form I saw, in which a German university
academic employee gave details of her parents and grandparents, gave
names or merely religious background.

She had one (non-practising) Jewish grandparent; instructions came to
her university department that her employment should cease. Her
professor wrote and gained an exemption (for at least 3 years, if I
remember correctly the date of a later departmental photograph)
because Physics teaching would suffer dramatically if she left.
