Information Provided by Michael D. Bulmash:

Following the rollout of similar measures in April 1933 in Germany, the Dutch Ministry of the Interior were instructed by the German occupation authority to purge the government and public bureaucracies of Jews. An individual of aryan origin would be defined by having no Jewish blood among his or her grandparents (two sets) or historical membership in a Jewish community. Marrying an individual fully or partially of Jewish blood could also constitute grounds for loss of a job or reason for not being suitable for one. These forms would be a means of establishing one’s racial identity in the Nazi-controlled Netherlands.

In January 1941, Jews themselves were required to register as Jews. Almost 160,000 Jews registered, including 25,000 from Germany.
