Nuremberg Laws
Nuremberg Laws were two anti-Jewish Laws enacted in 1935 by the Nazi government in Germany.
Both Laws limited the rights of Jewish people and sought to keep Jews seperate from other residence of Germany.
The intent was to permanently segregate the Jewish presence within German society.
Rights of citizenship under German law and the regulation of sexual relations between Jews and other Germans.
The major impact of the Nuremberg Laws was to isolate the Jewish and Romani populations.
The Nuremberg Laws had the practical affect of legitimizing concentration camps such as Auschwits, Sobibor, Treblinka, and Maidanek.
The Nuremberg Laws led to a decree issued on september 1, 1941, requiring all Jews above 6 to wear a Jewish star in public.
No mass protests were organized and the German citizens appeared undisturbed by the racist and medical assumptions of the nazi regime.
The Nurember Laws were enormously popular with ordinary citizens.
In Germany alone, more than 166,000 Jews were forced to wear the Jewish star badge.
