In Prussia Jews had an unequal status. When the Rhineland was taken this meant jews there could no longer serve as lawyers, judges, civil servants, university lecturers or schoolteachers – unless they converted to Christianity.
Marx's father was affected by this. They converted through coercion, not desire.
There is absolutely no way Marx was not aware of this. Or the fact his grandparents were Rabbis. How would you not know what your grandparents do or did during their lives? You'd have to be incredibly disconnected from your family for that information to just disappear in 2 generations.
