Nuremberg Laws
뉘른베르크법
The antisemitic and racist laws enacted in Nazi Germany on 15 September 1935 at a special session of the Reichstag held during the Nazi Party’s Nuremberg Rally, consisting of the Law for the Protection of German Blood and German Honour and the Reich Citizenship Law.
In depth
The blood law prohibited marriages and sexual relations between Jews and Germans and barred Jewish households from employing German women under 45. The citizenship law restricted citizenship to people of “German or related blood”, reducing others to state subjects without rights. A supplementary decree of 14 November defined who was Jewish by descent from grandparents, and on 26 November the measures were extended to Roma and Black people. To avoid international criticism, prosecutions were delayed until after the 1936 Berlin Olympics. The bills were drafted in haste by Wilhelm Frick’s interior ministry.
