Introduction
The Nuremberg Laws were two laws that greatly affected Jewish lives in Germany in 1935 (“The Nuremberg Race Laws”). The passing of these laws made life difficult for Jewish people, as much as having their basic rights taken away. These acts were the reverse of emancipation, which means being set free from restrictions. The Jewish people weren’t allowed to go to many places or areas during the first year of Hitler’s rule, some buildings marked with “Jews Not Welcome” signs (“Nuremberg Race Laws Imposed”). The first law was the Reich Citizenship Law, which determined if someone were a Jew and how much of a Jew they would be (“The Nuremberg Race Laws”). The other law would be the Protection of German Blood and German Honor, which was meant to keep the Aryan race free of imperfection, as they thought (“The Nuremberg Race Laws”). These laws being in place can show everyone part of the anti semitism that Jews have experienced right before World War II.
