If they were orthodox religious pious people, they had to observe Sabbath.

If they weren`t pious Jews, they could do what they wanted.

Why?

There were many Jews, especially in the inteligentsia class, who didn`t follow the religious principle in life. They spoke Polish instead of Jiddish, lived in Polish districts, had Polish friends.
They were looked upon with contempt by other religious Jews, that`s for sure.

But were they worse or unreal?

I don`t think so.

When Germans came, all Jews, whether religious or not, were treated as real.

What do you mean by "had a right"? The religious, moral or political sense of the word "right"?

On Saturday night the Sabbath is over so whether they were religious or not they could do whatever they pleased.

Jewish men, regardless of their appearance (strongly Semitic or more Nordic/Slavic) were regarded as Jews if they were circumcised. In that respect many fair-haired Jewish females could pass for Aryans with no tell-tale stigma to set them apart.
