Which policy was supported by the Nuremberg laws
The Nuremberg laws, enacted in Nazi Germany in 1935, supported policies that aimed to restrict the rights and freedoms of Jews. These laws defined who was considered a Jew based on racial characteristics and ancestry. The policies included:
1. The Reich Citizenship Law: This law deprived Jews of German citizenship and made them subjects of the state, stripping them of their political rights.
2. The Law for the Protection of German Blood and German Honor: This law prohibited marriages and sexual relations between Jews and non-Jews in order to prevent racial "pollution."
3. The Law for the Protection of German Blood and German Honor (amended): This amendment extended the prohibition of marriages to include extramarital sexual relations between Jews and Germans.
4. The Law on Reich Citizenship: This law excluded Jews from possessing German citizenship and prohibited them from holding public office or voting in elections.
Overall, the Nuremberg laws aimed to isolate and marginalize the Jewish population, laying the groundwork for further discrimination, persecution, and ultimately genocide during the Holocaust.
