Introduction and History

1935 chart from Nazi Germany used to explain the Nuremberg Laws

During the spring and summer of 1935, disenchantment with how the Third Reich had developed in practice as opposed to what been promised had led to many in the Nazi Party, especially the Alte Kämpfer (Old Fighters; i. Nazi Germany and the Third Reich are the common English names for Germany under the regime of Adolf Hitler and the National Socialist German Workers Year 1935 ( MCMXXXV) was a Common year starting on Tuesday (link will display full calendar of the Gregorian calendar. e those who joined the Party before 1930, and who tended to the most ardent anti-Semitics in the Party), and the SA into lashing out against Germany's Jewish minority as a way of expressing their frustrations against a group that the authorities would not generally protect^[1]. The, abbreviated SA, ( German for "Assault detachment" or "Assault section" usually translated as " stormtroop(ers A Gestapo report from the spring of 1935 stated that the rank and file of the Nazi Party would "set in motion by us from below" a solution to the "Jewish problem", "that the government would then have to follow"^[2]. The ( contraction of ge heime Sta ats' po' lizei: "Secret State Police" was the official Secret police of Nazi Germany As a result, Nazi Party activists and SA members started a major wave of assaults, vandalism and boycotts against German Jews^[3]. A conference of ministers was held on August 20, 1935, to discuss the negative economic effects of Party actions against Jews. Events 636 - Battle of Yarmouk: Arab forces led by Khalid ibn al-Walid take control of Syria and Palestine Year 1935 ( MCMXXXV) was a Common year starting on Tuesday (link will display full calendar of the Gregorian calendar. Adolf Wagner, the Party representative at the conference, argued that such effects would cease, once the government decided on a firm policy against the Jews. This article concerns the Nazi official Adolf Wagner for the German economist see Adolph Wagner. For the government of parliamentary systems see Executive (government.

Dr. Hjalmar Schacht, the Economics Minister, criticized arbitrary behavior by Party members as this inhibited his policy of rebuilding Germany's economy^[4]. Dr Hjalmar Horace Greeley Schacht (22 January 1877 – 3 June 1970 was the Currency Commissioner and President of the Reichsbank under the Weimar Republic, and President An economy is the realized social system of production exchange distribution and consumption of goods and services of a country or other area It made no economic sense since Jews were believed to have certain entrepreneurial skills that could be usefully employed to further his policies. Schacht made no moral condemnation of Jewish policy and advocated the passing of legislation to clarify the situation. Following complaints from Dr. Schacht plus reports that the German public did not approve of the wave of anti-Semitic violence, and that continuing police toleration of the violence was hurting the regime's popularity with the wider public, Hitler ordered a stop to "individual actions" against German Jews on August 8, 1935^[5]. On August 20, 1935, the Interior Minister Dr. Wilhelm Frick threatened to impose harsh penalties on those Party members who ignored the order of August 8th and continued to assault Jews^[6]. Dr Wilhelm Frick (12 March 1877 16 October 1946 was a prominent Nazi official serving as Minister of the Interior of the Third Reich. From Hitler's perspective, it was imperative to bring in harsh new anti-Semitic laws as a consolation prize for those Party members who were disappointed with Hitler's halt order of August 8, especially because Hitler had only reluctantly gave the halt order for pragmatic reasons, and his symapthies were with the Party radicals^[7].

The Nazi Party Rally held at Nuremberg in September 1935 had featured the first session of the Reichstag held at that city since 1543. Hitler had planned to have the Reichstag pass a law making the Nazi Swastika flag the flag of the German Reich, and a major speech in support of the impeding Italian aggression against Ethiopia^[8]. However, at the last minute, the German Foreign Minister Baron Konstantin von Neurath persuaded Hitler to cancel his speech as being too provocative to public opinion abroad, thus leaving Hitler with the sudden need to have something else to address the historic first meeting of the Reichstag in Nuremberg since 1543 other the Reich Flag Law^[9]. Konstantin Freiherr von Neurath (2 February 1873 – 14 August 1956 was a German diplomat, Foreign Minister of Germany (1932-1938 and Reichsprotektor On September 13, 1935, Br. Bernhard Lösener, the Interior Ministry official in charge of drafting anti-Semitic laws was hasty summoned to Nuremberg Party Rally by plane together with another Interior Ministry official Ministeralrat (Ministerial Counsellor) Franz Albrecht Medicus to start drafting at once a law for Hitler to present to the Reichstag for September 15^[10]. Lösener and Medicus, who arrived in Nuremberg on the morning of September 14, and because of the short time available for the drafting of the laws, both measures were hastily improvised (there was even a shortage of drafting paper so that menu cards had to be used)^[11] On the evening of September 15, two measures were announced at the annual Party Rally in Nuremberg, becoming known as the Nuremberg Laws^[12]. The Nuremberg Rally (officially Reichsparteitag, meaning national party convention was the annual rally of the NSDAP (Nazi Party in the years 1923 to 1938 in

The first law, The Law for the Protection of German Blood and German Honor,^[13] prohibited marriages and extramarital intercourse between “Jews” (the name was now officially used in place of “non-Aryans”) and “Germans” and also the employment of “German” females under forty-five in Jewish households. The household is the basic unit of analysis in many Social, Microeconomic and Government models The second law, The Reich Citizenship Law ^[14], stripped persons not considered of German blood of their German citizenship and introduced a new distinction between “Reich citizens” and “nationals. ” .

The Nuremberg Laws by their general nature formalized the unofficial and particular measures taken against Jews up to 1935. Year 1935 ( MCMXXXV) was a Common year starting on Tuesday (link will display full calendar of the Gregorian calendar. The Nazi leaders made a point of stressing the consistency of this legislation with the Party program which demanded that Jews should be deprived of their rights as citizens. The laws were passed unanimously by the Reichstag, or German Parliament, in a special session held during a Nuremberg Rally. The Reichstag ( German for "Imperial Diet " was the Parliament of the Holy Roman Empire, the North German Confederation, The Nuremberg Rally (officially Reichsparteitag, meaning national party convention was the annual rally of the NSDAP (Nazi Party in the years 1923 to 1938 in After the example of the Nuremberg Laws, The Law for Protection of the Nation was passed in Bulgaria during World War II, which also had a strong antisemitic character. The Law for protection of the nation (Закон за защита на нацията — ЗЗН was a Bulgarian law effective from 23 January 1941 The state of Bulgaria (България transliterated bg-Latn ''Balgaria'' The country preserves the traditions (in ethnic name language and alphabet of the First Bulgarian World War II, or the Second World War, (often abbreviated WWII) was a global military conflict which involved a majority of the world's nations, including Antisemitism (alternatively spelled anti-semitism or anti-Semitism; also rarely known as judeophobia) is the Prejudice against or hostility

Several authors have argued that the Nuremberg Laws were inspired partly by the anti-miscegenation laws of the United States of America. Anti-miscegenation laws, also known as miscegenation laws, were laws that banned Interracial marriage and sometimes interracial sex between whites and members of other ^[15]
