Nuremberg Laws
 
    The Nuremberg laws were laws given to the Jews by Hitler and the Nazis during "World War II.

    In April 1933 Hitler ordered a one day boycott of all Jewish shops, and on April 25, 1933 fewer non-Aryan children were enrolled in German schools
 
    On November 14, 1934 laws were made more clear, by determining who was a Jew (a person with at least one Jewish grandparent.)  The Jews were not allowed to vote, or could not hold a public office.  All Jews had to wear a yellow star on the outside of their clothing.   Jewish passports were stamped with a red "J" and they were forced to take "Jewish" names.  Jews were completely omitted from the practice of Medicine.

    In 1935, The Nuremberg laws were enhanced.  Jewish newspapers could no longer be sold on the streets, and they were not allowed to publish any books.  On September 15, 1935 the Jews German citizenship was revoked, and it reduced them to the status of "subjects."  They were not allowed to intermarry or have any sexual relations with the other Germans.

    In 1939, when the war came about, Jews lost total citizenship.  The Jews could not attend public schools, could not be hired in any business or profession. Jews were not allowed to own lands or conjoin with any non- Jews. All Jews were banned from parks, libraries, museums, movie theaters, or entertainment places. They had to live in ghettos. Jews were not permitted to use any public transportation, and had to turn in all bikes.

    The Nuremberg Laws affected many Jews and deprived them of their human rights, their basic ability to become successful in society.
