Provide two examples of how the new laws had affected the rights of German Jews. In 1935, the Nazi leaders had introduced new laws based on a heap of racial theories common in Nazi beliefs. The Neremberg laws had exluded German Jews from Reich citizenship and had made it forebidden for them to have any kind of relation ship with a ''German or German blood related person.'' Additional regulations to these laws deprived them from of most political rights. Jews were disenfranchised (meaning that they were banned from having the right to vote) and could not hold public office.
What other actions were taken that discriminated against Jews in Germany? (Remembering) The Nuremberg laws had changed the everyday lives of many Jews living in Germany by making Jews legally different from their non Jewish neighbours. In the years that followed, the Nazi had kept on making more and more anti-Jewish laws and decrees. These later laws relied on the definiton of ''Jew'' as defined in the Nuremberg laws. Examples of these other laws include things like The law on the alteration of family and personal names (Aug 1938), the Decree on passports of Jews (Oct 1938) and the police regulation on the marking of jews (sep 1941).
Why do you think that the Nazis passed these laws? (Understanding) I think that the Nazi's had set these new laws in place simply because they wanted the Jewish people to suffer.
If a New Zealand government passed a law that provided for different treatment of a named racial group in New Zealand, what do you think the reaction of most New Zealand people would be? Why do you think this might be the case? If our gouvernment were to add new laws based on racial discrimination against a certian group, i would personally think that it is nonsense/rubbish and i would be confused on why it would be set just because they are against those people but, how the whole of NZ would react. I definetly think that it would just be the start of a major agrument and i'm sure there would be a lot of protesting going on.
Do you think these Nuremberg laws were racist? Explain your point of view. (Evaluating) Yes, these laws were specifically set in place by the Nazi leaders because they were against Jewish people, it's not too hard to realize that the ''Nuremberg laws'' were created in order to make Jewish people suffer. I bileave that the reason they had disenfranchised the jews and deprived them from most of their political rights is because they were afraid of them climbing up the ranks and taking control.
