Springut, 26, has been to Germany several times and doesn't think "all Germans are Nazis."

Now she is applying for German citizenship under a law that allows Jews who fled Hitler, and their children and grandchildren, to become naturalized Germans. For many people, that means receiving a European Union passport that can pave the way for living and working in Europe.

Now if only they would offer citizenship to decendants of Germans.
In a few years time we'll look back on immigration control like we look back on American prohibition in the thirties - futile and counter-productive.

descendants of German Jews ARE descendants of Germans!
I am not, and cannot, offer legal advice to particular people. I can only discuss general areas of immigration law.

People should always consider obtaining professional advice about their own particular circumstances.

This isn't a new law either.

To all descendants of Germans, I mean!
