The Nuremburg Laws

In Nazi Germany, the Nazi's introduced a new set of laws called the Nuremburg Laws. These laws were to restrict Jewish people from doing certain things and to make them easy to identify. Under these new laws, anyone with 3 or 4 Jewish grandparents was defined as a Jew, even if they themselves were Christians. Some people who had forgotten the religion of their grandparents found themselves being called Jews. The Nazi's also began to "aryanize" Jewish businesses, making them "pure" and Jew-Free. This meant that Jewish workers were no longer allowed to work in the shops, and their shops were taken over by Nazi's. Jewish doctors were only allowed to treat Jewish people, and Jewish lawyers were no longer allowed to practice law. Anyone who was Jewish was not allowed to sell to non'Jewish people. Also, Jewish people like all other Germans, had Identity cards, but now Jewish Identity cards needed a big red J stamped on them to show that they were Jewish. Then those that did not have very Jewish sounding names were issued a new middle name- Sara for girls and Israel for boys.

The Law for the Protection of the Hereditary Health of the German People was a law that made sure Aryans did not poison their offspring;s blood with Jewish blood. All would be married couples had to go to the health office and make sure they were fit to marry the other person. Anyone attempting to marry someone bad was breaking the law
