The racial Nuremberg laws were passed by the Nazi government on September 15, 1935 at their annual NSDAP Reich Party Congress in Nuremberg, Germany.  These two laws namely the Reich Citizenship Law, and the Law  to Protect German Blood and Honor became collectively known as the Nuremberg laws.
These laws took German citizenship away from Jews and outlawed both marriage and sex between Jews and non- Jews.

Other individuals and groups were considered "undesirable" and "enemies of the state." Once the voices of political opponents were silenced, the Nazis stepped up their terror against other "outsiders." Like Jews, Roma (Gypsies) were targeted by the Nazis as "non-Aryans" and racial "inferiors." Roma had been in Germany since the 1400s and had faced prejudice there for centuries. They had also been victims of official discrimination long before 1933. ]]> 2017-03-27 01:03:35 UTC https://padlet.com/19everka/w9w3rx0o9tfo/wish/162676164 The Final Solution 19everka https://padlet.com/19everka/w9w3rx0o9tfo/wish/162676456 The origin of the "Final Solution," the Nazi plan to exterminate the Jewish people, remains uncertain. What is clear is that the genocide of the Jews was the culmination of a decade of Nazi policy, under the rule of Adolf Hitler. The "Final Solution" was implemented in stages. After the Nazi party rise to power, state-enforced racism resulted in anti-Jewish legislation, boycotts, "Aryanization," and finally the "Night of Broken Glass" pogrom, all of which aimed to remove the Jews from German society. After the beginning of World War II, anti-Jewish policy evolved into a comprehensive plan to concentrate and eventually annihilate European Jewry.]]> 2017-03-27 01:06:21 UTC https://padlet.com/19everka/w9w3rx0o9tfo/wish/162676456 Concentration Camps 19everka https://padlet.com/19everka/w9w3rx0o9tfo/wish/162676610 Concentration camps (Konzentrationslager; abbreviated as KL or KZ) were an integral feature of the regime in Nazi Germany between 1933 and 1945.The term concentration camp refers to a camp in which people are detained or confined, usually under harsh conditions and without regard to legal norms of arrest and imprisonment that are acceptable in a constitutional democracy.]]> 2017-03-27 01:07:44 UTC https://padlet.com/19everka/w9w3rx0o9tfo/wish/162676610 The Nuremberg Trials 19everka https://padlet.com/19everka/w9w3rx0o9tfo/wish/162676963 After the war, some of those responsible for crimes committed during the Holocaust were brought to trial. Nuremberg, Germany, was chosen as a site for trials that took place in 1945 and 1946. Judges from the Allied powers—Great Britain, France, the Soviet Union, and the United States—presided over the hearings of twenty-two major Nazi criminals.]]> 2017-03-27 01:09:21 UTC https://padlet.com/19everka/w9w3rx0o9tfo/wish/162676963
