Jews in Donetsk, Ukraine were ordered to register with the pro Russian separatists, who have taken over much of the city.
Per a pamphlet put out, by the People's Republic of Donetsk, all those of Jewish decent over the age of sixteen must register with the "Commissioner for Nationalities" and pay for their right to remain in the city.
At registration, "ID and passport are required to register your Jewish religion, religious
documents of family members, as well as documents establishing the
rights to all real estate property that belongs to you, including
vehicles."
Those who do not do so will "have their citizenship revoked, face deportation and see their assets confiscated".
The new from Donetsk reminds many of the beginning of Nazi rule, in Germany, back in the 1930s.
It has been received by a huge outcry of condemnation from the world, except Russia, which has remained silent about it.
Officials in Donetsk had confirmed that this was new policy, but later backed away from that claim.
