Imperial War Museum rejects criticism of caption in Holocaust display

Visitor to museum and two eminent historians say wording of information board on Nuremberg race laws is incorrect

The Imperial War Museum has declined to change an information board in its Holocaust Galleries that two eminent historians say is incorrect.

The information board refers to the Nuremberg race laws passed by the Nazi regime in Germany in 1935, which included a definition of who was Jewish. The laws said anyone with three or four Jewish grandparents was a Jew and anyone with one or two Jewish grandparents was Mischlinge, or mixed race.
