Some say that calamari is Italian slang for mafia. Yes? Verifiable?

On the other hand, my grandfather's hobby is rewriting his will, so as far as he knows, I heard the shofar blast, I'm trying to keep Kosher, I fasted on Yom Kippur (although I didn't have a chance to go through my apartment with candle and feather looking for chometz) and sure, next summer I'll go to Israel (but only if the Palestinians aren't doing too much terrorism).
Last time I checked, lying through your teeth to your grandfather doesn't make you any less a Jew. #thejews

Discuss: Should what would have gotten someone killed for "being Jewish" then still count today?
[en.wikipedia.org]
In legally defining "who is Jew", the Nazis considered anyone of Jewish descent, even the descendents of converts who converted from Judaism after January 18, 1871, (the founding of the German Empire) were still considered Jews. Friedländer writes that, for the Nazis, Germany drew its strength for its "purity of blood" and its "rootedness in the sacred German earth."[51] In 1933, a series of laws were passed which contained "Aryan paragraphs" to exclude Jews from key areas: the Law for the Restoration of the Professional Civil Service; the physicians' law; and the farm law, forbidding Jews from owning farms or taking part in agriculture. Jewish lawyers were disbarred, and in Dresden, Jewish lawyers and judges were dragged out of their offices and courtrooms, and beaten.[52]
At the insistence of then president Hindenburg, Hitler added an exemption allowing Jewish civil servants who were veterans of the first world war, or whose fathers or sons had served, to remain in office.
(Hindenburg was disturbed that people who had fought and bled for Germany would be forced from their state jobs.) Hitler revoked this exemption in 1937.
Jews were excluded from schools and universities, (Law to prevent overcrowding in schools) and from belonging to the Journalists' Association, or from being owners or editors of newspapers .[51] The Deutsche Allgemeine Zeitung of April 27, 1933 wrote:
In 1935, Hitler introduced the Nuremberg Laws, which: prohibited Jews from marrying Aryans, annulled existing marriages between Jews and Aryans (the Law for the protection of German blood and German honor,) prohibited Jews from serving as civil servants, stripped German Jews of their citizenship and deprived them of all civil rights. In his speech introducing the laws, Hitler said that if the "Jewish problem" cannot be solved by these laws, it "must then be handed over by law to the National-Socialist Party for a final solution (Endlösung)."[54] #thejews
