September 15th

On this day – 15th of September 1935 – Was the Nuremberg Laws implemented in Germany

The Nuremberg laws were a set of racist laws against Jews in German, which were institutionalized at the Nazi-party’s rally in Nuremberg on September 15th. The laws excluded Jews from citizenship and it forbid Jews to marry non-Jews.  The definition of Jew in those laws were a person who had three or four Jewish grandparents. This essentially meant that practice of the religion had no significant of whether a person was defined as jewish or not. The laws were written in just two days, based on several previous drafts and ideas, and just like that was racism a part of Germanys laws.
