Nuremberg Laws strip German Jews
September 15, 1935
At a party rally in Nuremberg, the Nazi regime announced laws defining Jews as a separate race, forbidding marriage and sexual relations with Aryans, and denying citizenship. The definition of a Jew was worked out with a calculator: three Jewish grandparents, or two if you practiced. A legal cage had been built around six hundred thousand people.
