German Again

I was glad that my mother, who had clung to her father?s ideas for so long, had opened herself up to seeing Germany in a new light. But I never thought she would want to be German. My mother couldn?t?or wouldn?t?tell me why she wanted to do this. But because of her family history, she could do this. During the beginning of the Marshall Plan in the late 1940s, West Germany wrote and ratified a new constitution. The Basic Law, as it is called, includes this short statement in AAArticle 116, Part 2: ?Former German citizens who between January 30, 1933 and May 8, 1945, were deprived of their citizenship for political, racial or religious reasons, and their descendants, shall be re-granted German citizenship on application.?
