Nuremberg and Jim Crow Laws
By: Madeline Butcher and Taylor Krech
During the 19th and the 20th century, minority groups had suffered from segregation and racism. Two minor groups that have suffered from severe racism include the Jewish people and the African Americans. The two groups had a lot in common, even though they were nothing alike. They both had laws created against them because they were different. These laws deprived them of their natural and civil rights. They became known as Nuremberg Laws and Jim Crow Laws. The Nuremberg Laws were created by the Germans and they deprived Jewish children of proper school systems, deprived everyone in that culture of going to certain restaurants and public places, and lastly forbid opposite race marriage. What the Nuremberg laws enforced on the Jews, the Jim Crow Laws (created by Caucasians) did the exact same thing to the African Americans. (TK) [1]
