I recommend this book.



Mendelsohn, Daniel Adam. The Lost: A Search for Six of Six Million. New York: HarperCollins, 2006. Print. 

Among other things, it relates how for many years Poland only recognized marriages contracted by the Roman Catholic Church.  This made the children of Jewish marriages bastards.  One could pay a heafty fee to authorities to have the child legitimized by the state. 
How kind.
