Nuremberg Laws:
In 1935, a set of laws were passed called the Nuremberg laws. The two laws were the Reich Citizenship Law and the Law for the Protection of German Blood and German Honor. These laws brought structure for the Nazi people. They put these laws into play in order to support their ideas and beliefs. These laws made it easy for the German people to be identified and safe, and for the Jewish people to also be easily identified and targeted. These Nazi ideas were wrong and hateful and I cannot believe that they got away with so much of it. They targeted innocent people just for what they were born into. They saw Jews as different, and to them being different was wrong and bad so they were to be killed. Hitler wanted them extinct because he believed that the world would be better without them. This whole situation went way too far and for way too long, but I understand that it was hard to protest or stop the Nazi’s evil doings beacuse people were afraid to be killed as punishment. This set of laws made it easier for Nazi’s to do what they wanted and not get penalized at all. Although these were two very hard articles to read, it is important to learn about everything that has happened in the past, especially something so huge. Learning about historical evil doings like fascism in Nazi Germany can actually teach us a lot.
