Nuremburg laws - Social Studies

THE NUREMBERG LAWS
At their annual party rally held in Nuremberg in September 1935, the Nazi leaders announced new laws based on many of the racial theories common in Nazi beliefs. These "Nuremberg Laws" excluded German Jews from Reich citizenship and prohibited them from marrying or having sexual relations with persons of "German or German-related blood." Additional regulations to these laws deprived them of most political rights. Jews were disenfranchised (that is, they had no right to vote) and could not hold public office. 
The Nuremberg Laws did not identify a "Jew" as someone with particular religious beliefs. Instead, the first amendment to the Nuremberg Laws defined anyone who had three or four Jewish grandparents as a Jew, regardless of whether that individual recognized himself or herself as a Jew or belonged to the Jewish religious community. Many Germans who had not practiced Judaism (the Jewish religion) or who had not done so for years found themselves caught in the grip of Nazi terror. Even people with Jewish grandparents who had converted to Christianity could be defined as Jews. 
The Nuremberg Laws of 1935 was the start of a new wave of anti-Semitic laws that brought about immediate segregation: Jewish patients were no longer admitted to municipal hospitals in Düsseldorf, German court judges could not refer to legal commentaries or opinions written by Jewish authors, Jewish officers were expelled from the army, and Jewish university students were not allowed to sit for doctoral exams. 
Other regulations reinforced the message that Jews were outsiders in Germany; for example, in December 1935, the Reich Propaganda Ministry issued a decree forbidding Jewish soldiers to be named among the dead in World War I memorials. 

The Nuremburg laws affected the rights of German Jews by preventing them from having a Reich citizenship and were not able to have sexual relationships or get married to Germans or German related blood.    

The actions that were taken that discriminated against Jews in Germany that the

Jewish patients were no longer admitted to hospitals in Dusseldorf. 

I think that the Nazis passed these laws because of how much hate they had for the Jews that was encouraged by Hitler.  

With all the races in New Zealand I think that if New Zealand government passed a law that provided for different treatment of a named racial group in New Zealand people would be really aggravated and New Zealand would rage and there would be many protests to get rid of those laws. 

I partly think that the Nuremburg laws were racist because even though the laws were more directed to the Jews the Germans were also affected by the laws but were still treated much better than the Jews were.
