Have you ever learned about the holocaust? Well, today I am going to teach you about this thing called the Nuremberg law which was involved with the holocaust. This law is unfair to all Jews they don't give the Jews the respect they need or any rights that they need. The holocaust was a horrible thing that had many horrible things to do with it The Nuremberg laws are one of the many things that the Nazis did to the Jews. One of the Nuremberg laws is they excluded the Jews from German life. According to the web page (http://www.thenagain.info/WebChron/WestEurope/NuremLaws.html) this law was made so that the Jews couldn't raise the german flag. It also made the only german maids that worked with the Jews had to be over 45 years or older to …show more content…

According to thenagain.info what this law has been it took away any rights that the Jews had like they couldn't vote at all. The Jews were not allowed to hold public office because they were no longer considered citizens of the Reich. After a while the Jews weren’t even allowed to go to certain places because they forbid Jews from going in there. Later on the Jews were known as the big J which stood for Jude then that got stamped on their passports. I got all of my information in the same article. The third law that I found interesting was they didn't define a Jew by their religious beliefs, but if they had 3 or 4 grandparents then they were a Jew. According to the article (https://www.ushmm.org/outreach/en/article.php?ModuleId=10007695) some Germans that did not study Judaism for years got caught in the Nazi terror. People who had grandparents that were Jews and the child that had the grandparents turned christian they would still be affected by the Nazi’s. In this article (http://www.auschwitz.dk/bullseye/new_page_3.htm) they say that anyone who was married to a Jew was considered a Jew. They were also considered a Jew if they had 1 parent that was a Jew, then they were also affected by the

  • Differences Between The Nuremberg Laws And The Jim Crow Laws

    1158 Words  | 3 Pages

    Both the Nuremberg Laws and the Jim Crow laws aim at a particular race or group of people. The Nuremberg laws were very strict. They would provide screenings to see if a particular person was of Jewish descent. If you had any kind of Jewish trace throughout your family tree, you were considered to be a Jew. Even if it was that person’s great grandfather, they were still considered a Jew by the Nazi’s. The Jim Crow Laws were aimed at African Americans that lived in the United States. These laws were different, as the African Americans didn’t have to go through any screening process. It was plain and simple for people to figure out due to their skin color. The Nuremberg Laws were aimed at the Jewish population of Europe in the German region, as well as the people that the Nazi’s deemed as unfit to contribute to their war efforts. The laws themselves aren’t identical; however, both sets of laws made the lives of those affected by it a living hell. The African Americans in the United States had to use separate bathrooms. They would have to sit in the rear of the bus, or even surrender their seat to a white person if there were no seats available. They were made to go to a specific school rather than going to the nearest local public school, which was an all white school. They had to use different medical facilities that were far less superior to those that the white people got to use in America. The Jews in Europe were made to surrender their citizenship. They were forbidden from having any relationships or a marriage with those of the Aryan race. The Nazis boycotted all Jewish owned stores, which forced many of them to close their stores and go out of business. Both sets of laws caused a lot of violence in their respective

  • The Legal Position of Jews in Medieval Germany

    2444 Words  | 5 Pages

    When we are considering the legal position of Jews in Medieval Germany, the question we need to ask is what was Jewry law like at that time? We can understand Jewry law as being Christian legal material and documents concerning Jews (Cohen 1994:30). Jewry Law was executed by two main bodies the monarch and the church. One of the most famous characteristics of the Medieval period was what could be described as ‘Christian piety’ or ‘religious fanaticism’ (Adler 1969:11). Christianity became the focal point of society and the church held great power. People generally followed the edicts of ecclesiastical councils and pontifical opinions (Cohen 1994:36) lest they risk excommunication, a big and dangerous disgrace in medieval society. So whilst secular law was primary legislation and even though canon law did not always have a direct impact on state Jewry law, it is still important to consider church made law when investigating the legal position of medieval Jews(Cohen 1994:42).

  • Nazi Prosecution

    1515 Words  | 4 Pages

    "While fighting for victory the German soldier will observe the rules for chivalrous warfare. Cruelties and senseless destruction are below his standard" , or so the commandment printed in every German Soldiers paybook would have us believe. Yet during the Second World War thousands of Jews were victims of war crimes committed by Nazi's, whose actions subverted the code of conduct they claimed to uphold and contravened legislation outlined in the Geneva Convention. It is this legislature that has paved the way for the Jewish community and political leaders to attempt to redress the Nazi's violation, by prosecuting individuals allegedly responsible. Convicting Nazi criminals is an implicit declaration by post-World War II society that the Nazi regime's extermination of over five million Jews won't go unnoticed.

  • A Glimpse at the Holocaust

    The Holocaust began in 1933 when the Nazis instigated their first action against the Jews by announcing a boycott of all Jewish-run businesses. The Nuremberg Laws went into place on September 15, 1935 which began to exclude the Jews from public life. These laws went to the extent of stripping German Jews of the citizenship and then implemented a prohibition of marriage between the Jewish and the Germans. These laws set the legal precedent for further anti-Jewish legislation. Over the next several years, even more laws would be introduced. Jews would be excluded from parks, fired from civil service jobs, required to register all property and restricted Jewish doctors from practicing medicine on any person other than Jewish patients.

    HItler created laws, named the "Nuremburg Race Laws," which set barriers on Jewish people. The laws would give all Jewish people a curfew and restricted them from using public transportation. Over time the Nuremburg Race Laws grew, they eventually restricted Jews form owning a business and seperated them from the rest of the country. They were forced to attend Jewish schools. These actions are very similar to the Jim Crow Laws in the United States during the period of segregation. The race laws Hitler created expanded to include more people including mentally handicapped, physically disabled, and colored people.
