What did the Nuremberg Laws do?
The Nuremberg Laws took away many rights of the Jews. They were stripped of their German citizenship, property, and job. They were no longer able to marry or be in a relationship with anyone of "German or related blood". These laws required the Jews wear bright yellow stars on their clothing. This allowed the Nazis to easily recognize Jews and their families.
