The Nuremberg Laws were enacted in Nazi Germany in 1935 to institutionalize anti-Semitic policies and further restrict the rights of Jews. These laws were primarily meant to exclude Jews from German society and deprive them of their basic rights as citizens. The Nazi regime used the laws to establish a legal framework for the persecution and eventual annihilation of Jews. The Nuremberg Laws were part of a broader effort by the Nazis to cement their racist ideology, consolidate power, and lay the foundation for the systematic discrimination and eventual genocide of Jews during the Holocaust.
