Honorary Aryan
Honorary Aryan (German: Ehrenarier) was a semi-official category and expression used in Nazi Germany and its territories to justify certain individuals who, according to the Nuremberg Laws, were not recognized as being of "German or related blood" (the Aryan race), but who were nonetheless spared persecution and granted equal rights, although they continued to be regarded as inferior to the Aryan race. The bestowal of the Honorary Aryan status upon certain "non-Aryan" people or peoples was typically not well-documented, due to the semi-official nature of the category.
