Best Answer

In Jewish law you are Jewish if your mother is Jewish. So long as you know that your mother and her mother (and her mother, etc.) isn't Jewish then you are not Jewish. There is no magical (or medical or any scientific way) to know if you're Jewish.

Why couldn't the Jewish people claim that they were not Jewish in World War 2?

The German bureaucracy had paperwork that goes back for at least a century that would indicate that a person was Jewish. German birth certificates usually list your family's religion. The Nazis, additionally, made people carry around identification cards showing that they were Jewish. In many instances, the Nazis had more knowledge about Jewish heritage than the Germany citizenry and would go to the houses of Christians who had at least one Jewish grandparent and inform them of their Jewish heritage before carting them away.
