Lyndon B. Johnson said...

The Nuremberg Laws influenced the attitudes and individuals living in Germany during the 1930's in several ways. They defined who was and wasn't Jewish. These laws prohibited marriage between Jews and Germans, along with banning of sexual intercourse between Jewish people and non-Jewish people. The Nuremberg laws also prevented Jews from participating in German civic life. These laws also took away many other rights, such as the right to vote. These laws also forced Jewish people to identify themselves by wearing the Star of David on an armband.

The two laws that impact me the most are the July 25th law and the March 4th law. The July 25th law said that any Jewish doctor had to cancel their doctors license, and that they could only operate on Jewish patients. I think this is wrong because there is a high possibility that some Jewish doctors are more qualified than non-Jewish doctors to operate on a patient. The March 4th law said that any Jews leaving Germany cannot take any possession they acquired after Jan. 30, 1933. It said they can take anything acquired before this date except for gold, silver, jewels, pearls, etc. This impacts me because I do not like that it forces Jewish people to give up their possessions. The Jews had done nothing wrong and the German Socialist Party was pretty much taking their possessions away. I think that is wrong.

The Nuremberg Laws had a large influence on individuals living in Germany. Jews were officially no longer German citizens even though they had lived in Germany their whole life and fought in the war. They were then deprived of many rights including the right to vote. Rules were put in place that made it illegal for Jews to hire German workers and to have sexual relations with Germans. Jews were forced to register or surrender most of their property and possessions. These laws, among others, caused Germans to feel that Jews were outsiders and not equal citizens.
Two laws that impacted me the most were the June 15 law and the December 1st law. The June 15th law said that any Jew who had been convicted of any offense would be arrested. These offenses could be as small as traffic violations! This was just an excuse for the Nazis to arrest Jews. The December 1st law decreased food rations for Jews. There is no justification for depriving the Jews of food.
The June 25th law and March 4th law mentioned above by Lyndon B. Johnson were also very impactful. It is sad that Jewish doctors, who worked hard to get their licenses and were probably very talented at their job were forced out of a career. Also, the March 4th law that said that Jews couldn't take any possessions with them forces Jews to either be mistreated in Germany or to be impoverished elsewhere. This is unfair. The German Socialist Party and their Nuremberg laws were extremely unjust.

The Nuremberg laws had a huge impact on Jews living in Germany during this time. These laws took away many of the basic rights of German Jews that we take for granted here today in America. One of the laws that would have impacted me, as a Jew, would have been the law that the synagogues were burned, Jewish shops were looted, and thousands of Jews were sent to concentration camps and killed. This obviously would have impacted me because I easily could have been picked to go to the camps. Another law that would have impacted me is that all Jewish schools were closed. I would have been forced to go to a Jewish school and then they would have closed my school. I agree with 3manolo that it would have impacted me if I got a traffic violation I would have been arrested. Also, that if you were a Jewish doctor, you can get your license taken away. These laws really affected the lives of German Jews by taking away their basic rights and more.

pineapple9 said...

These laws had a very great impact on the individuals living in Germany at the time. It basically ruined the Jew's lives and made all the Germans think of the Jews as "the outsiders". It took away almost all jobs from Jews which made it very difficult for them to get enough money to care for their family. This probably made all Jews very upset and made the Germans look down on the Jews.
Two laws that impacted me were the July 19 and October 1st ones. The July 19th law says Jews cannot have phones. I think this is ridiculous because if someone can afford a phone, they should be allowed to have whatever they want. The October 1st law says Jews are forbidden to emigrate from Germany. This is horrible, I think, because even though the Germans are making the Jews lives so horrible, the Jews are trapped living there.
I agree with what 3manolo says about the December 1st law lowering Jewish food rations. This is completely unfair that just because they aren't German, they aren't allowed as much food. I also agree with Lyndon B. Johnson about the July 25th law that said any Jewish doctor had to cancel their doctors license. This would be so terrible for some people because it would take a long time to get qualified to become a doctor and it would be taken away just because someone isn't German.

I agree with Lyndon B Johnson when they said that The Nuremberg Laws influenced the attitudes and individuals living in Germany during the 1930's in several ways." And obviously that these laws had the largest negative effect on any citizen who was not a member of the Reich. These laws prohibited marriage between Jews and Germans, prevented Jews from participating in German civic life, and also took away many other rights, which included the right to vote and the right to maintain office as a public official in the government. These laws also forced Jewish people to identify themselves by wearing the Star of David on an armband.

The two laws that impact me the most are the was the law that banned the relationship between jews and non-jews simply because i think it is very unfair to control who people have relationships with and I think it is very unjust to do something like that. In addition, the law talking about the hitler youth academy upset me because it didn't allow jews to particiapte in school or in exercise which hurt the future of the jewish race and it also educated those who were part of the Reich which made them better soldiers. I agree with Lyndon B Johnson in regard to their two laws that applied to them, which were the July 25th law and the March 4th law. The July 25th law said that any Jewish doctor had to cancel their doctors license, and that they could only operate on Jewish patients. I understand what LBJ is saying in their statement and agree that not only could jewish doctors be more qualified but they could also help many people that would soon become sick or injured in the war that was to come.The March 4th law said that any Jews leaving Germany cannot take any possession they acquired after Jan. 30, 1933. It said they can take anything acquired before this date except for gold, silver, jewels, pearls, etc. Unlike the first law, I disagree with LBJ on this being a very important law because they are mostly material goods that they had to give up and were able to take many of the things that had long term sentimental value to their family so although i think that the law itself is unfair, there were many worse laws passed.

The Nuremberg Laws had a significant influence upon the lifestyles, thought process, and overall attitude among individuals in society. Germany had transformed into a stringent, hateful, unfair, and judgmental environment that primarily focused its attention towards the Jewish community. A myriad of new laws evolved between 1933-1942 that largely limited Jew’s basic rights and interaction in society. Germans remained the dominant community, while Jewish people were rated at the lower spectrum. Many Germans were brainwashed into accepting and participating in the new laws that were initiated against Jews, which ultimately lead to the downfall and weakness of society as a whole in Germany.

Specifically, two laws had a significant impact on me when I read the article: the October 1st law and the July 25th law. The October 1st law of 1941 prohibited Jews to emigrate from Germany. I agree with pineapple9 that this law is extremely unfair because the Jewish people are trapped living in Germany. Even with the unfair laws and decreased opportunities in society, they could not leave Germany and create a better life for their families. Many businesses, living conditions, and overall survival were a challenge. Next, the July 25th law of 1938 stated, “Jewish doctors must have their license canceled and are limited in only treating Jewish patients.” I agree with Lyndon B. Johnson that this law against Jews was very impactful and harsh. Each doctor specializes in different areas of medicine. With the movement of people travelling and socializing, the rate of disease increased. Thus, the more doctors available to treat people, the higher the rate of survival. When this law was initiated, many doctors were forced to give up their practice and affected the health of people within society.

These laws made living in Germany imposipple for anyonr that wasnt a aryne. The first law was the law banning the astablishment of any parties that would go aainst the Nazi's. The second law was stop the relationship between any jew and any aryne,this law would destroy the relationship in familys. I also aree with Lyndon B. Johnson this law destroyed years of hard work.

The Nuremberg laws of 1933-1942 created the "other" in Germany. These laws targeted the jews and every aspect. These laws made the "German citizens" feel that they were more important than any other person living in Germany. The laws two laws that shocked me the most were any street names in Germany that are of jewish origin are replaced. Why would a street name matter and a lot of things could be considered of jewish origin even if it is not directly related to the religion or people. The other law that shocked me was jews must hand in their drivers' license and car registration. 7/8lion mentioned that the law that prohibited jews to emigrate to Germany. This seems a little extreme. Another law that I thought was extreme and uncalled for was mentioned by mentioned by 3manolo that limited food jew food rations

9thebrightside said...

The Nuremberg laws, which were followed from 1933-1942, were a set of laws basically separating jews from all other German citizens. Many citizens of Germany were brainwashed and now made these laws their lifestyle. Some of the laws included banning the sale of jewish newspapers, expelling jewish professors from universities as well as a one-day boycott of all jewish businesses. Banning the sale of jewish newspapers was quite harsh because most jews couldn't read german. Also another thing that was shocking was the expulsion of jewish professors from universities. I also believe this was unnecessary because they were teachers and went to school to earn that job. They shouldn't have been forced out because of their religion. I agree with secondsemestersenior7/8 in that why would it matter if a street name was of jewish origin. I also agree with Lyndon B Johnson's comment that said that any Jewish doctor had to cancel their doctors license, and that they could only operate on Jewish patients. This is also a little absurd because it takes a long time and a lot of schooling to get your doctors license.

9winterwonderland said...

All of these laws affected the people living in German in several ways. For Germans, they were subject to and eventually believed in the propaganda that was given to them by the Nazi's. They eventually believed that the Jews were weird, aliens, etc. They also probably ended friendships with the Jews due to the new laws imposed on them. In addition, a culture of fear developed. Surely, the effects of the Nazi's anti-semitic laws had Germans and Jews fearful. As a result, Germans stayed away from Jews and Jews just tried to live their lives as they became worse.

One law that surprised me was that the Jews had to pay 1.25 million dollars for the damages during Kristallnacht. I found this to be ridiculous because the Nazi's were the ones who caused Kristallnacht, a tragedy where hundreds of synagogues were destroyed and thousands of people were killed. This law also displays the psychopathy of these lawmakers. They want the Jews to pay back for something that they were victims of. As a result, this deeply sickens me. Another law that surprised me was the Jewish curfew. I found this to be bizarre because Judaism is a religion, not a race. Also, the law that made Jews wear the star of David was not implemented yet, so I really do not know how that law could be enforced. It seems that the Nazi's at this point are just looking to see if anyone "appears Jewish" and typecasting them off of that, which is disturbing.

secondsemestersenior7/8 mentioned that there was a law that any street of jewish origin had to be replaced. I agree with them that this is bizarre. I think that the Nazi's want to eliminate everything else and create their own world. As a result, they are adamant at clearing out everything else so that they can make their own world from scratch.

7/8lion talked about the law that prohibited Jews from leaving Germany. Just like 7/8lion, I find this to be unfair and unbelievably cruel. The Nazi's didn't want the Jews to be living there, and now they prevent them from leaving, probably so that they could move them into concentration camps and then kill them. This is quite outrageous and petrifying.

Gladdiator9 said...

When the Nuremberg laws were passed life changed for everyone living in Germany. Everyone was affected some more than others but it had an impact on all individuals. Jews began to get their rights taken away in every aspect of life the Nazis could come up with. They lost their jobs, their freedoms, food, and dignity when these laws were put into place. And many people who weren't Jews weren't allowed to shop at the places they usually shopped or talk to the people they usually talk to because they were Jewish. Two laws that impacted me were the law created on October 1st forbidding Jews from emigrating from Germany and the law created on March 26 that Jews must attach a star of david to their doors. I find the first law very interesting because the Nazis claim they hate Jews and want to get rid of them and yet they won't let them leave. I think this law is a way of showing them who has ultimate control and this law also shows us they don't just want the Jews gone, they want them dead. I found the next law I mentioned extremely say because a symbol that once showed pride in a religion was now being used to humiliate and stereotype people. I agree with winterwonderland that the law making Jews pay and ultimately take responsibility for Kristallnacht is absolutely ridiculous because they were the ones being attacked during this event. I also agree with lion when they say that it's ridiculous that Jewish doctors should get their licenses taken away. Medical help is always needed and the fat that they'd sacrifice other people's well being just because they don't want Jewish doctors is ridiculous.

The Nuremberg Laws of 1933-1942 were directly targeted at the Jews. The Nuremberg Laws took away a variety of basic rights of the German Jews. One law that impacted me was the law that required all Jews to wear a patch on their clothing. This humiliated the Jews and made them stand out from everyone else. Another law that had an Impact on me was the law that reduced food rations for Jews. This impacted me because if I were to live back then, i would have had a scarce amount of food and that would have been horrible. All of these laws have a great impact on me not only because I am Jewish, but because my Grandfather was a Holocaust survivor. Gladdiator9 chose one of their laws to be the Law forbidding Jews to immigrate from Germany. I liked that they picked this law because it really shows how strict the rules were and how contained the Jews were in Germany. LBJ commented on the law that says that Jews leaving Germany cannot take any possesions with them. I agree with their comment because if I were a jew living back then, i would at least want to take what i own with me.

The Nuremberg Laws affected almost everyone in Germany. The Jews lost all their rights slowly over the years that the Nazis were in power until they literally had nothing left, physically and mentally. As for most other German people, they were slowly being brain washed by the Nazis. Everyones lives were affected by the Nazis during this time in one way or another. The first of the two laws that really affected me was the one day boycott of all jewish businesses. It was the first step in the process of destroying the Jewish people. The second law that affected me a lot was the law stating all Jews had to wear the Jewish star. It really solidified the dominance of the Nazis over the Jews and showed how they had them labeled.

7/8sander6 said...

The nuremberg laws affected almost everyone in Germany, and they were directed toward the Jews. They also were to keep the nazis in power. One law that would have impacted me is that the synagogues would be destroyed and jews sent to concentration camps. I am Jewish and I easily could have been one of the millions of people sent to one of the camps or killed. Another law that would have affected me would have been being expelled from German schools and not being able to attend German universities. Being Jewish I would have been kicked out of my school and that would be horrible. I agreed with 7/8snow about how horrible these laws were.

3musketeers said...

The Nuremberg laws had a huge influence on the attitudes and actions of individuals living in Germany in the 1930s. These laws singled out the Jewish population as unworthy of many basic rights. The Nuremberg laws made many Jewish people lose their jobs and made them unable to provide for their families. In a way the laws helped to promote the propaganda that Jews were dirty and unworthy of being German citizens. In my opinion I think the October 1st law of 1941 that prohibited Jews to emigrate from Germany was very harsh. Because of this law the Jews were trapped in Germany and had no way out. I also think the December 1st law that lowered the Jews food rations was very harsh. These laws slowly cut off any chance the Jewish people had for survival.
I agree with Lyndon B. Johnson that the July 25th law and March 4th law were both very awful. The March 4th law forced Jews to give up many of their possessions and the July 25th law said that any Jewish Doctor had to cancel their doctor’s license. By taking away people’s possessions and jobs, the Nazis took away a part of who the Jewish people were.

Beethoven7/8 said...

The Nuremberg laws of 1933-1942 created the "other" in Germany. These laws targeted the jews and every aspect. These laws made the "German citizens" feel that they were more important than any other person living in Germany. The October 1st law of 1941 that prohibited Jews to emigrate from Germany was bad because it forced Jews to stay in Germany. The second law that affected me a lot was the law stating all Jews had to wear the Jewish star. This law made sure Jews would stand out and be labeled.

I agree with 3musketeers that the food ration law of December 1st was harsh because it cut off any of the food Jews could have. I also agree with 3wisemen that the stars the Jews had to wear unfairly made them stand out and could create a very difficult life for Jews.

These laws influenced the attitudes and action of individuals living in Germany in the 1930’s by making life extremely difficult for anyone who was not part of Hitler’s Aryan race. The people considered other were slowly stripped of all their civil rights. The people who were affected by the Nuremberg laws became one of hopelessness, they lost the will to fight back since it seemed to be the normal and for some it was the only way of life they knew. The people that were the Aryan race benefited from the laws, many of them were able to get jobs and felt that they had regained some of the pride lost by the terms of the treaty of Versailles
The one law that impacted me the most were the law against any Jew trying to leave Germany cannot take any possession they acquired after January 30, 1933 and that any gold, silver, jewels, pearls, etc. couldn’t be taken with them. This law impacted me since these could be family heirlooms or items that hold found memories that they couldn’t take with them, also many Jews may have used some of these items to pay for passage and start a new life outside that now would be much harder for them to do. Another law that impacted me was the law that employers of Jews must make sure that Jews receive no sick pay, vacations with pay, and no additional pay for overtime. This bothers me since at the time Germany was in a recession and money was very tight, many families were struggling to have enough money to buy food and Hitler just eliminated the opportunity for Jews to make a little extra or receive pay when they were sick. I agree with what 7/8lion and 9winterwonderland said it is unreasonable that the Jews were effectively trapped in Germany when the Nazi’s didn’t want them there to begin with, if more Jews had been able to leave more pointless deaths could have been prevented. I also agree with what Lyndon B Johnson comments on the law that all Jewish doctors had their licenses cancelled, people work really hard to earn medical licenses and for it to be taken away because of your religion is ridiculous.

The Nuremberg Laws greatly influenced the attitudes and actions of individuals living in Germany in the 1930's. These laws discriminated the jews, treated them like second class citizens. They evoked their rights and only helped to target them more. The first law that affected me was November 9-10 law, it forced all jews to concentration camps, which forced them from their homes and were basically treated like slaves. The second law that affected me was the October 1 law that said jews are forbidden to emigrate from Germany, this made them stay in Germany and be stuck to face and obey these harsh and and cruel laws. I agree with Lyndon B. Johnson about the July 25th law, this basically destroyed their career and years of hard work and dedication. I also agree with 3musketeers that the December 1st law was cruel because it reduced their food rations everyday.

barefoot3 said...

The Nuremburg Laws took away any basic freedoms the jews had, and did not only affect the jews but anyone who sympathized with them as well. They also took away their citizenship in a country they were not supposed to leave, they were essentially prisoners long before concentration camps were established. The first one that stood out to me, was the one where all jewish officals must retire, not only step down but retire, as in they cannot get annother job, this is not only losing your job but losing your livelihood, this must have been a very low blow for many of them. The seccond one was when all jewish doctors had their liscences revoked, they may have been great doctors, dare i say some might have been better than the aryan race themselves, and the world always needs doctors, this was just cruel, they worked very hard for that licencse, hitler was stealing some peoples dreams. I agree with 3manolo about the limiting of the jews food rations, that is horrible and unfair. I also agree with 9winterwonderland about the jews having to pay millions of dollars in reparations, that was not their bill to foot, that was germanys bills therefore the people who were lucky enough to be called its citizens should have to pay it.

In Germany the Nuremberg Laws greatly influenced the way Germans acted and there attitudes towards individuals living in Germany in the 1930's. These laws mostly had a negative effect on the Jewish population living in Germany, the laws turned them into second class citizens, most of whom had lived in Germany their whole lives. They took away all of their rights and became the main target of hatred in Germany. The first law that affected me was November 9-10 law, which forced all Jews into concentration camps, it forced them from their homes and sent them to their death. The second law that affected me was the October 1 law that said Jews are forbidden to emigrate from Germany, This to me is just as bad as being sent to a concentration camp because it is forcing the Jews to stay in Germany, which in turn will send them to their death. I also agree with what Lyndon B Johnson comments on the law that all Jewish doctors had their licenses cancelled, people work really hard to earn medical licenses and for it to be taken away because of your religion is ridiculous. Lastly I agree with 3flamingos when he says that the November 9-10 law was the worst because it sent millions of Jews to their death.

ironman78 said...

The Nuremberg Laws were many laws that in Germany that greatly defined the difference in Jews and Non Jews or German Citizens who were not Jewish. They took away the basic rights of the German Jews and basically made the German Citizens greater than the Jews in every way. It took away the right for Jews and Non Jews to marry and made it virtually impossible for a Jew to hold a job. One law that would greatly impact me is the law stating all Jews had to wear the Jewish star, as Beehtoven said. It just hits close to home because my grandfather was a holocaust survivor and still has that tattoo. It's our right to be a religion and it shouldn't have to be broadcasted like that. Also, the law forbidding marriage between Jews and non Jews. There shouldn't be any restrictions put on Love, everyone should be free to express themselves and love the person they want to.

I do agree with Lyndon B. Johnson's 25th law, it was terrible that they ruined all the hardwork that Jewish person had put into their business or part of work. I also agree with 7/8lion with the law that Jewish people couldn't emigrate. They were trapped in Germany with nowhere to go expect concentration camps. Just not fair.

3TimesALady said...

The Nuremberg Laws in one word were "Humiliating" just as 3wisemen said. The fact that being Jewish mant you were required to live by different laws is ridiculous in itself; but the laws they enforced are even worse. I couldn't imagine having to be forced to wear a patch everyday just to basically inform people that you are less than them. I am biased when talking about this for 2 reasons. First, I, like most people probably, hate. The Eugenics Movements and everything that it supported. Also, being a Jew myself has an affect. I look at the Star of David as a symbol of peace, but during this time, it was viewed at with disgust. Lyndon B Johnson is right that the law requiring Jewish doctors to quit is awful, but what really hits me is the fact that they can only operate on other Jws. Meaning Jews can only go to unlicensed doctors who now don't possess the right tools.

agent78 said...

These laws heavily influenced everyone's idea of a Jewish person and impacted that person to unimaginable horrors. For example, a popular claim at the time was that a Jewish person had horns and a tail and they were sent to this earth from the devil himself. And people thought it was plausible, so they believed it, and further believed in Hitler. It obviously also affected Jewish people, who were denied the same rights as someone who believed in different things than they did, and were born in a different place. There was a unifying force of the Jewish people vs. the Germans (which later turned into Aryans vs. non-Aryans) which created an atmosphere that most didn't believe would ever happen.

One law that is greatly unfair to Jewish people is the July 25th law. I agree with Lyndon B. Johnson because there could easily be a more qualified Jewish doctor rather than a German doctor, and race has nothing to do with intelligence, even though that was the theme at the time. Another law that shocks me is the November 9-10 law, which to me, is the law that no one believed would happen in a million years, and yet it did. This law forced Jewish people to leave their homes and be separated from their families and go to concentration camps. I agree with 3flamingos because Jewish people were treated exactly like slaves.

78llama said...

The Nuremberg laws isolated the jews from the rest of the population in Germany. They deprived them them of their basic rights and basically destroyed whatever life they had in Germany. The laws also cause the rest of the population to discriminate against the Jews that were living in Germany at the time. The first law that impacted me the most is the September 15 law saying that Jews are no longer citizens, they cannot display he flag, they cannot employ Germans in their homes under the age of 45 and marriages and relations between Jews and Germans are prohibited. They were pretty much stripped of all of their rights as a German citizen with this law and after this law it was illegal for them to even associate with Germans and it is really wrong that this law ever existed. The other law that impacted me was the February 6th law which said hat Jews are no longer issued ration cards for clothes or shoes. This law is really crazy because not only were they stripped of their citizenship but the Nazis were trying to make them have basically no clothes or shoes to live with. Even though all of these two impacted me the most, all of these laws are really unfathomable. I also agree with Lyndon B. Johnson and what they had to say about the July 25th and March 4th law. 3manolo picked out a law that was really crazy, the June 15th law, because the Nazis made it so they can arrest Jews for the smallest violation.

3ChrisHansen said...

The Nuremberg laws affected the German attitudes towards the certain individuals living in Germany. It completely separated Jews and Germans. These laws mostly had an negative effect on Jews. It took all the rights of the German Jews, and put pure german citizens on a pedestal. These law's completely humiliated the Jews living in Germany at this time, and completely dehumanized them. It didn't give them any way to express themselves or live their life without any restrictions. The two laws the impacted me the most were, July 25th law:Jewish doctors have their license canceled, and Sep 19th law:all Jews over 6, must wear a star on yellow material. These laws, took away all the hard work and time these doctors put in to become a doctor, and again humiliated and degraded the jewish people by making them wear a star. I agree with asdfghjkl; choosing the Nov 9-10 law, because it sent most Jews to their death. I also agree with 3manolo about limiting the rations of food the Jews get. This law was horrible and completely unfair.

MarkAshly69 said...

Well i believe that these laws influenced the attitudes and actions of individuals living in Germany in the 1930's in an unexplainable way. Hitler really got every German Blood citizen on his side in numerous countries to the Jewish community was scared. The two law that have impacted me is the fact that the Jews couldn't bare arms and how they couldn't own retail stores. I really agree with 3ChrisHansen and i also agree with ironman78

The Nuremberg Laws greatly influences the attitude and actions of the individuals living in Germany during the 1930s. The laws defined the criteria for German citizenship and defined who was considered a jew. The dictated what jews were allowed do to during the Nazi regime. It negatively affected the jews. In Germany during 1930s Jews weren't allowed to hold civil service jobs, jewish doctors had to have their licenses revoked, jewish places of worship were destroyed, among other horrible things.
Two laws that impacted me the most were the 'German Jewelry & Nazi Anti-Semetic Legislation, of 1941-1942 and the law of 1938. Wearing symbols on your clothes at all times to separate you from the others with the inscription "jew" would be incredibly dehumanizing as well as the other laws of 1938. The laws of 1938 explicitly expressed sending the jews to concentration camps.
I agree with Lyndon B. Johnson because there definitely could have been more qualified jewish doctors. They had to go through the same training and schooling as German doctors and yet they have to stop practicing. I also agree with 3manolo in that limiting the jews food rations is completely unethical and just completely cruel.

AV3 said...

I agree with pineapple9 and 78llama in that these laws isolated the Jewish people from the rest of Germany, labeling them the pariahs of German society and attempting to rid the country of their culture. The laws took away any rights the Jews may have had as German citizens and as human beings. Not only were Jews restricted in their daily practices, but they were taken from their homes and sent to concentration camps without any justification. These laws made isolation the Jews' only option as they were forbidden from interacting with Germans and Germans were too afraid of the consequences of interacting with Jews. Two laws that particularly angered and affected me were that of November 12 and October 1. First, Jews were given the responsibility of paying for the damages of Kristallnacht, the night when thousands of Jews were arrested and murdered. There are no words for the unfairness and ridiculous notions in this law. Second, Jews were forbidden from emigrating from Germany. I thought this law was unnecessary because Germans wanted to get rid of Jews in their country, but would not let them leave. This law gave German Jews no choice but to suffer in concentration camps or be killed.

The Nuremberg Laws greatly influences the attitude and actions of the individuals living in Germany during the 1930s. During this time jews were already thought of as being "the other" and being inferior beings, and now with these Nuremberg Laws being put into play, people discriminated even more against jews. The laws took away any of the remaining rights jews had at this time including Jews are no longer citizens, they cannot display the flag, and they cannot employ Germans in their homes under the age of 45. These laws even had an impact for people who were not Jewish. Many people who weren't Jews weren't allowed to shop at the places they usually shopped or talk to the people they usually talk to just because of the fact that they were Jews. Two laws that really shocked me the most were the October 1st law and the July 25th law. The October 1st law prohibited Jews to emigrate from Germany. I feel this law is extremely unfair because the Jewish people are trapped living in Germany with no rights what so ever. Even with the unfair laws they could not leave Germany and create a better life for their families. I feel this is a little ironic because if Germany hated the Jews so much wouldnt they want them to leave their "perfect" country? Next, the July 25th law of 1938 stated, “Jewish doctors must have their license canceled and are limited in only treating Jewish patients.” I thought this was interesting because doctors were so important espically at this time when diseases were common and tb was spreading. Why wouldn't the Germans want to have their people taken care of by good, educated doctors? I agree with Gladdiator9 when she said that she felt the law that said Jews must attach a star of david to their doors impacted her. I agree that it showed that Germans had ultimate power and could do whatever they wanted with the Jewish people. I also agree with Lyndon B Johnson's law that he felt was interesting, The March 4th law said that any Jews leaving Germany cannot take any possession they acquired after Jan. 30, 1933. This was absolutley horrible and deeping saddening that the it was really coming to a point where it was this bad that any of the Jews belongings could be stripped away from them, without any questions asked.

The Nuremberg laws that were implemented into Germany at this time made it a very freighting place to call home. The Jews had been categorized as less than human and were at the complete bottom in terms of social ranking. These laws had not only ruined the lives of many Jews, but caused many Germans to actually believe the things in which he was accusing the Jews of. The laws that impacted me the most were the laws which kept Jews from having relations with Aryans and the law which required Jews to were the star symbol on all of their clothing. I believed that Jews should have been able to have the right to have relations and or sexual intercourse with whoever they pleased. I also was impacted by the law which required them to wear the star on all of their clothing because it was embarrassing and they should not have been forced to do wear anything they did not want to. The two of my classmates whom I agree with are 3flamingos and Lyndon B Johnson. 3flamingos referred to November 9-10 law which sent millions of Jews off to be killed which is simply in humane. In addition I also agree with Lyndon B Johnson for referring to the law which called for all of the Jewish doctors licenses to be cancelled. This law was wrong because their medical license was something in which they worked very hard for and deserved the right to keep.

The Nuremberg Laws influenced many German citizens. Germans began to feel superior and treated others worse than animals. Many Germans lost all site of humanity and didn't even realize what they had turned into. The Law Concerning the Hitler Youth of December 1, 1936 really impacted me because the Germans really wanted the world to be permanently like this. They were starting with the youth so ultimately all citizens would feel superior to jews. The second law that had a great impact on me was the Law for the Protection of German Blood and German Honor this law shows how much Germans felt superior, that no German could marry a Jew or even be in close contact with a Jew. It was honestly frowned upon to even look at a Jew. How sick. Titanum3 wrote about that German Jewelry and Nazi Anti-Semetic Legislation. Although I didn't write about these I completely agree that these laws are extremely serious and damaging to all.

The Nuremberg Laws affected almost everyone in Germany. The Jews lost all their rights slowly over the years that the Nazis were in power until they literally had nothing left, physically and mentally. A law that surprised me was that Jews had to pay 1.25 million dollars for the damages during Kristallnacht. Another one that surprised me was 'German Jewelry & Nazi Anti-Semetic Legislation, of 1941-1942 and the law of 1938. Wearing symbols on your clothes at all times to separate you from the others with the inscription "jew" would be incredibly dehumanizing as well as the other laws of 1938. i agree with Lyndon B Johnson comments on the law that all Jewish doctors had their licenses cancelled, people work really hard to earn medical licenses and for it to be taken away because of your religion is ridiculous.

I think that these laws influenced the attitudes of German citizens by making them feel that they are superior to other when in fact they are not. The two laws that impacted me the most would be the December 3rd law that states that Jews must hand in their drivers' licenses and car registrations, and the December 8th law that states that Jews cannot attend German universities. These two laws would have affected me as my age now back then because driving helps me get around without having to depend on anybody else or public transportation and I plan on going to college and there is a good chance that I wont be going to an all black college so I know back then there would have been a good chance that I wouldnt choose an all German university. I agree with Lyndon B. Johnson. The Jews were completely innocent, they had done nothing wrong and there was absolutely no reason for the Holocaust to take place and go as far as it did. NONE AT ALL.

The Nuremburg laws basically affected everyone who resided in Germany. The laws stripped the Jews of every right they had and in effect, brainwashed the Germans living there that they were indeed superior to the Jews and turn against the people who lived with them years ago, fought side by side in WWI and basically made enemies of each other. I agree with AV3 as they did indeed isolate them from German society and labeled them as a scapegoat for all the German problems that occured basically after the Treaty of Versailles.

9roxy said...

The Nuremburg laws effected anyone living in Germany during the time of the Nazi takeover. Personally, I would be effected by all laws that restricted Jews from their everyday life, since I am Jewish. I agree with AV3 when they said they isolated them from German society, making them the inferior race, and later killing them all. I also agree with Linden B Johnson when they said that being a Jew and getting your medical license taken away is very hard on a person and family, especially since that was probably the Jewish family's only source of income. Because of the Hitler Youth being taught about the Jews and how they are supposedly bad, every German was either brought up to hate Jews, or had to deal with it even if they didn't agree beacause they had no power what so ever. I think that part of Hitler becoming so powerful was that people didn't want to disagree with him, since they had nothing to lose after WW1.

The Nuremberg laws were in my opinion what set the course for the nazis' final plan to wipe out the Jewish community. The Nuremberg laws put many restrictions on Jewish citizens who were living in Germany at the time. One law that i believed was very cruel was the July 25th law which forced all Jewish doctors to give up their license and practice. This is unfair because if a doctor who happens to be Jewish can perform a surgery better than another doctor who is not Jewish, than why should the Jewish doctor be discriminated against? Another law which effected me was the law which forced all synagogues to be burned and all Jewish people living in Germany, or countries under German control, to be deported to concentration camps. This is completely inhumane because the nazis knew exactly what they were going to do with the Jews who were sent to the camps and that was to kill them.

9moose said...

The Nuremberg laws brainwashed many German citizens with the idea that all Jews and "others" are bad. Being Jewish, almost all of these laws impacted me in some way. The most important though would be the boycott of Jewish businesses. Just because of their religion, Jews were losing money that the worked hard for by running shops. Also, not allowing Jewish professors at Colleges is crazy. They worked hard to earn teaching degrees and they should not just have that taken away from them. I agree with Lyndon B. Johnson that years of hard work and money were just destroyed in a matter of days. Also, I agree with 3manolo about how horrible it was to limit jewish food rations.

9betty_ said...

I believe that the Nuremberg laws represented the first government (nazi party) declaration of the persecution of the Jews. I believe that through these laws it made it acceptable for the Nazi's to then outwardly punish the Jews. I also also believe that these laws manipulated the other races against the Jewish people as well.
The two Laws that stuck with me the most had to be the June 25 law that basically took away the writes of Jewish doctors. The law bascially forced them to turn in their licenses and only practice on Jewish people. I agree with Lyndon B. Johnson and agent78, that the law was unfair because races doesn't determine who is better fit for the job position. A lot of Jewish doctors could have been just as good of doctors or even better of doctors then the competition. This law just solidified the idea of no competition.

These laws during the 1930's I believe left Jewish people with a very hard life. These laws determined who was a Jew, and put many limitations on their civic life. No marraige between Jew and Germans, no sex between Jews and non-jews, Jewish people cannot vote, and had to wear the star of David on their clothes daily. These rediculous laws created many hardships as you can see. July 25th and July 19th are two that stood out to me the most. Agreeing with Lyndon B. Johnson, the fact that doctors had to only work on jewish patients, and if they were jewish they had to revoke their lisence was absolutly obserd. July 19th, no phones is crazy and completely unrealistic. Communication is key and treating these people as if they aren't human is agains all of my beliefs. I agree wit Pineapple9 and her views on this law.

Crazy8 said...

This law completely isolated the Jews on another level. The jews rights were being taken away slowly but definitely surely. Hitler put jews in concentration camps blaming them for every problem there was. He wanted to get wipe out every jewish community and let the Germans rise to take power of the whole world. The Nuremberg caused individuals to change their opinions of jews. Before the Nuremberg laws were made citizens in Germany didn't discriminate against jews. The enactment of laws identifying who was Jewish made it easier for the Nazis to enforce legislation restricting the basic rights of German Jews.

sirslif187 said...

The Nurernberg Laws were extremyl humiliating and oppressive towards the Jewish race. Law after law they slowly restricted the rights of Jews by slowly taking away all of their privileges. The laws became more ridiculous as time went on and not only degraded the morals of the Jews but at the same time increased the popularity of the Nazi party among non-jews in Germany. One law that stood out to me was the law of June 15, any jew who had ever been convicted of any offense, including traffic violations, was arrested. That unheard of, to be arrested for even a traffic violation. Being severely punished for such small offenses is cruel and unusual. The Germans were just looking for any excuse to punish the Jewish people and they thought of many ridiculous ways to do so. Another Law that stood out to me was the law of September 18, Jews will no longer receive meat, eggs, wheat products, diary, ect. This stood out to me because my first thought was that they are trying to PHYSICALLY weaken the Jews so they could not have the physical power to fight back. How is one suppose to be big and healthy when there is no way of obtaining any nutrients or protein? Its simple. you cant. This was one of the last laws to be made before they sent the Jews to concentration camps and I truly believe that their reasoning was to weaken them so they could not fight back.
In accordance to 9ChellyChell, I also agree with the fact that these laws had a huge psychological impact on both the Jews and the non-jews. It degraded the Jewish people making them feel inferior to other races and it positively influenced all non-jews that they were superior to the Jewish people.
LukevanjamaramaKatz III made a great statement saying that the Nurernburg laws also NEGATIVELY affected non-jews as well. Not all non-jews agreed with the Nazi Party and many were good friends and neighbors to Jewish people. Not being able to shop at their normal stores because they were owned by a Jewish person impacted others as well. Imagine not being able to shop at your friends store because they are Jewish, it would be awful on both ends.

The Nuremberg Laws influenced the Jews extremely negatively by degrading them and taking away many rights and privileges the Jews want and would be granted as citizens. German citizens would influence the attitudes of Germans by making them superior, and giving them all the rights they want.

The two laws that influence me the most are:
1. Jews must hand in their drivers' licenses and car registrations
2. Jews cannot attend German universities

These laws take away so many rights the Jews deserve to have, such as driving and getting an education.

9betty_ said the law about Jews and being doctors, which is similar to the laws of getting education and going to universities. Also, aivonej said the law regarding the right to vote, these are all rights the Jews should have that they were deprived of.

3Mindfang said...

The Nuremberg Laws drastically changed the way that all German people lived especially the Jewish ones. Jews were alienated more than ever from the German people and officially had their rights taken away from them. Although it severely affected the Jews it also affected the non-Jewish Germans too because if they had been friendly or had any relations with a Jew then you could no longer associate with them. The two laws that I personally found to be awful are the Summer Law of 1933 and the Nov. 15 Law of 1938. The Summer Law prohibited Jewish writers and artists from practicing their professions. The reason for this law is to make sure that those people can not publish their thoughts especially if they are well-known and their creative voice is silenced. The Nov. 15th Law expelled Jews from German schools, and forced them to attend strictly Jewish schools. I find this ridiculous because those who are Jewish are in no way intellectually inferior to others, but the Nazis wanted to isolate the Jews at the earliest age possible and make sure that German children are brought up hating the Jewish people.
I agree with Titanium3 about the Sep. 19 Law of 1941 because the worst thing you can do to Jews next to sending them to concentration camps is dehumanizing them. When you take an entire group of people and order that they should no longer be seen as humans, it has a awful lasting effect on them.

These laws had an enormous influence on the attitudes and the actions of individuals living in Germany in the 1930's. These laws made the Jewish people feel like the were not even citizens of Germany and were treated as trash. They took all of their rights and privileges away from them. The first law that impacted me the most was that all Jews were not "German" citizens, cannot display the German flag and German Jewish marriages are illegal. The reason why it this impacted me was because they were treating Jews as if they went even a people in the country just because of their religion. The other law that impacted me was that Jews over the age of 15 had to carry an ID card where ever they went and must state that they are jewish. They are treating Jews as if they are only a number to the government and they dont mean anything else to them. I agree with Lyndon B Johnson because it is absurd that Jewish doctors had to give away their license and were forced only to help out Jewish people even thought Jewish and non-Jewish doctors had the sam qualifications. Also I agree with 3flamingos about the concentration camps were horrible. Forcing Jews out of their homes and work places and sending them to death camps, was demoralizing to the Jews and basically made them out to be trash and wanted them to be taken away

Angelique said...

The nuremberg laws influenced the german people to believe that jews were less than and so being told so many times started treating them as animals throwing things at them kicking them out of their homes no matter how rich or poor. Two laws that really stuck out to me was that they had to leave thier jobs no matter what job teacher, professor and another is that jews and germans werent allowed to marry even if they are taken place abroad. I agree with pablo they said that this was completely crazy that people would loose thier jobs and homes and treated like trash was completely absurd.

These laws boasted their egos made them feel more superior than Hitler had already made them feel. the one made July 23 about people being 15 an older having to carry their id cards its belittling to a persons mindset. August 17 is another one that bothers me their taking away the privilege and honor of naming your own child. I agree with Pablo and Angelique these laws are outrageous and immoral.

1) How did these laws influence the attitudes and actions of individuals living in Germany in the 1930’s?
I think these laws probably made the Germans feel as if they were better than the Jews. They’re behavior was they wasn’t allowing Jews to have enough food and clothes. The Jews probably felt helpless because their wasn’t any way out and things were getting worse and they didn’t have anything to call there own. Anything that had value was taking away from them.

2) Which TWO of these laws impacted you the most? Explain why.

The July 25th law, which stated that the Jewish doctors had their licensed, cancelled. I felt this was discrimination not only Jewish people, but German people as well. There could have been a Jewish doctor who could have saved a German person life. Also, in the summer the Nuremberg law took writers and artists rights to practice their profession because they could have documented a lot of history that was happening at that point of time.

2) Comment on TWO other blog who had different laws than yours

I agree with 78motives when they mentioned Jews weren’t allowed to attend universities because of their identity. They were probably just as qualified as the Germans maybe better. Also, I agree with 7/8lion talked about the law that prohibited Jews to from leaving Germany making them feel even more trapped.

hummuslover3 said...

The Nazi Party's anti-Semetic views were already integrated into their political platform at the onset of the Nuremberg laws. These laws, however, not only legalized and justified the views these Nazi Party members, but also tainted the views of the German public and its Silent Majority, making the laws extremely influential in regard to the future apathy and compliance of the nation of Germany in the Holocaust. The laws without a doubt impacted Jews and non-Jews alike as they forced segregation and discrimination. In particular, the events of November 9-10, 1938 and the law created on September 19, 1941, impacted me the most. On the November 9-10, the infamous Kristallnacht occurred in which Synagogues, stores, and homes were ransacked and destroyed by the Nazis. In addition, many were killed and deported to concentration camp. This completely unprovoked act demoralized any Jews who still hoped for a reversal of Nazi policy and incited them. This heinous act is still remembered today as a critical turning point in the Third Reich's actions. On September 19, Jews were forced to sew an identifying Star of David on each article of their clothing. This patch became an infamous symbol of the Holocaust and was seen as a cruel demonstration of sheer control over the Jews by the Nazis. This identifying mark further served to publicly humiliate and discriminate against the Jews. In concurrence with Pablo, i also believe that the mandate that ordered one to carry a special ID card served to dehumanize and sequester the Jews. I also agree with Mindfang that the Summer Law of 1933 was particularly important as it silenced the creative voice of the Jews, an important right in any free society.

The Nurernberg Laws(1933-1942) were directly targeted at towards the Jews, these laws made living in Germany imposipple for anyone who wasnt a aryne. They took away all of the "other peoples" rights and the Jews became the main target of hatred in Germany. their were many laws that stood out to me. One of the many laws were December 1st law where the Nazi's cut off any of the food Jews could have. Another would be when the Jews had to wear the Star of David everywhere and had to make sure they stood out from everyone else. I think that these two out of many stood out to me the most.

Lomintopsoflove said...

The Nuremberg Laws excluded German Jews as citizens and they prohibited them from having sexual relations or marrying anyone with German blood. Clearly, this exclusion made German Jews feel unwelcome, alienated, and demonized. One law that impacted me was the law that forbad marriages between Jews and citizens because I believe that people should have the right to marry whoever they love. Nationality, race, and family background should not matter. Another law that impacted me was the law that forbad Jews from displaying the Reich (Germany's national flag). This impacted me because everyone should be allowed to express what is important to their heritage. Just as 78Rodriguez feels, the December 1st law impacted me as well because the discontinuation of food caused the deaths of countless Jews. I also agree with hummuslover3 when they say that wearing the Star of David dehumanized the Jews. For example, being forced to wear this symbol was like a dog being forced to wear a chain.

The first law that impacted me the most was that all Jews were not "German" citizens, cannot display the German flag and German Jewish marriages are illegal.The second law that impacted me was the Jews cannot attend German universities. You can not take away education from a person because it is a fundamental right of all people, races, and ethnicites. Titanum3, wrote about Nazi Anti-Semetic Legislation. 3flamingos, referred to November 9-10 law which sent millions of Jews off to be killed which is simply in humane. Even though I didn't pick these as the laws that most impacted me, they are still very serious laws that should not have even been made.

South34 said...

The Nuremberg Laws influenced the German people to believe that they were lower then people, almost like they had no rights as human beings anymore. The two laws that impacted me the most was the about them no longer being German citizens anymore. Then, the one saying they must surrender there gold, platinum, silver objects and etc... If they were born in Germany then that makes them german citizens period. It doesnt make much sense. Only reason they did so is because to belittle them which is why it upsets me. Then they shouldn't be taking there jewels from them. I don't like that because if I was in that situation I would be real upset an could only imagine how they felt.

I like what 78motives said about Jews weren't allowed to attend universities because of their identity. I agree what he said. An agent78 did they law about Jews no longer able to become doctors. That the law was unfair because race has nothing to do with your skill.
