For Research 148

2. Research the Nuremburg Laws of 1935. How did they affect the daily lives of Jews in Germany.

    The Nuremburg laws were first discussed on August 20th, 1935 at a conference of ministers to discuss the  economic effects of their actions against Jews. Adolf Wagner, the representative, decided that there should be permanent laws in place to combat the effects.
      The following two laws were put in place: 1. Jews were not allowed to marry or have extra marital affairs with Germans, and employ women under 45 to their household. 2. Took away German Citizenship from Jews. It  affected the daily lives because Jews were not allowed to be with who they chose, and many women lost their job. Taking away citizenship also took away rights, and because they no longer had rights, the Nazis could do as they pleased.
