Parts of the Nuremberg Laws
The Nuremberg Laws are split into many different parts, but these are some of the laws.
- The Law for the Protection of German Blood and German Honor is one of the most important laws created during the Holocaust. Since The Reich stag was convinced that the purity of German blood was necessary to keep the German race alive, they created this law. The Law for the Protection of German Blood and German Honor states that marriages or sexual relations between Jews and Germans, or Aryans, were strictly forbidden. Jews were also not allowed to employ females of German blood as servants. The Jews were also not allowed to display the national flag of Germany or the Reich flag.
- The Reich Citizenship Law told everyone the difference between a German and a Jew, as well as what they can and can't do. A Reich citizen is a German citizen, or someone related to that blood. In order to be a Reich citizen, you must have the Reich citizenship certification. The Reich citizen has the ability to enjoy all political rights, in accordance with the law.
- One very interesting law mentioned in the Nuremberg Laws is in article one, law one, and reads, " Marriages between Jews and citizens of Germany or kindred blood are forbidden. Marriages concluded in defiance of this law are void, even if, for the purpose of evading this law, they were concluded abroad." To make this law make more sense, it basically says, if a Jew marries, or has any sexual relations with a German, they are breaking the law. Even if the Jews had married a full blooded German long before this law, they were not allowed to be together anymore. This law tore families apart.
