For Research: "Nuremberg Laws of 1935"

First declared at a Nazi rally in Nuremberg in 1935, these laws called for the exclusion of Jews from German life, as well as taking away some of the Jews' natural rights. Two laws were included in the Nuremberg Laws: Reichsburgergesetz and  Gesetz zum Schutze des Deutschen Blutes und der Deutschen Ehre.


Reichsburgergesetz (Law of the Reich Citizen) was designed to take citizenship from the Jews, leaving only those with blood ties to Germany to live as members of the Reich.


Gesetz zum Schutze des Deutschen Blutes und der Deutschen Ehre (Law For the protection of German Blood and German Honor) was designed to make it illegal for a Jew to marry a German. 

Due to the laws, Jews could not vote, have independence, and had difficulty in doing things such as shopping or going to the theater.
