It is never directly stated in the text that Maria is Jewish, but it is implied.

"Maria's eyes opened wide and she took a step towards him, her hands covering her mouth for a moment in horror. She looked round to make sure no one was listening to them and had heard what Bruno said. 'You must not say that,' she said. 'You must never say something like that about your father.'"
