Laws that created the holocaust

  • The Reich Citizenship Law

    The Reich Citizenship Law
    The Nazi's had long sought a way to identify Jews. They found it hard to do this because most Jews had stopped wearing traditional clothing and had integrated into the mainstream. Some Jews even started celebrating Christian holidays primarily Christmas.
  • Law for the Protection of German Blood and German Honor

    Law for the Protection of German Blood and German Honor
    This Law was the first created and prevented Germans from marrying or having any form of a sexual relationship with Germans. It also prevented Germans from working under Jews. If you where caught doing either of these you would be tried for race defilement.
  • Nuremberg Laws

    Nuremberg Laws
    Adolf Hitler announces the Nuremberg laws. The two most distinct ones are the the "Reich Citizenship Law and the Law for the Protection of German Blood and German Honor." These were embodied the Nazi ideology of racism and would lay the legal frame work for German laws.
