 Nazi Persecution and the Nuremberg Laws

# data[].attributes.body
The Nuremberg Laws of 1935 'legally' deprived Jewish citizens in Germany of their rights in a systemic manner, the primer for mass persecution. Persecution against Jews was legalized, denying them of civil rights, education, and the right to marry non-Jews; this became the basis for an upward spiral to the Final Solution. Reflective Question: “How do you think the Nuremberg Laws affected Jewish families in Germany on a daily basis?”

Analysis: These laws institutionalized antisemitism within Germany and incited further persecution. The immediate consequence of this was the divesting of rights from the Jewish people, isolating them from mainstream social and economic relations. A development such as this marked one prelude to the mass killings of Jews-the so-called Holocaust-because what was effected by it was a way in which the communities of Jews were ostracized and inhumanized in popular perception.

Reflective Question: "How might the lives of Jewish refugees have been different if the United States had more open immigration policies during this period?

Reflective Question: "What do you think are some of the emotions the liberators and survivors felt in these first moments of freedom?
Analysis: This liberation of the camps brought the world face to face with the atrocities of the Holocaust; this caused public shock and outrage, contributing therefore to calls for justice and influencing policy decisions in the post-war period as a means of trying to prevent something of this nature occurring.

Immediately after World War II, a series of prosecutions for war crimes and crimes against humanity was conducted in Nuremberg against major Nazi leaders by the Allied powers. This set a legal precedent to hold individuals responsible for atrocities. Reflective Question: How did the Nuremberg Trials impact how justice would be approached thereafter in regard to war crimes?
Analysis: The Nuremberg Trials were a broad-range accountability for crimes against humanity, a stir in international law, and a precedent to more tribunals that followed. These trials marked a turning point in the way the world confronted state-led atrocities.
