“Rescript of the Royal Polish Ministry regarding the designation of/term Jews in passports” [Present-day Germany, Poland, Lithuania; Kingdom of Prussia]: “[…] in the passports of those of the Mosaic faith, who are citizens, […] the note ‘and citizen’ […] is to be added; however, for those who are not citizens, it is either to be left out entirely – which, generally speaking, for those who have a Mosaic [sounding] name is proof in and of itself – or it is to be noted that the holder of the passport is not a citizen.” [Researcher’s note: According to the source, it was the Jewish-eldest of the community who had requested the change in designation. However, June 19, 1836, is was ordered that the term Jew or Jewish be used in official documents when referring to people of the Jewish faith.]
