Social Studies: Human Rights

The Nuremberg laws were a set of rules passed by the Reichstag to ensure Jews were treated like second class. The Nuremberg laws of 1935 go against all human rights and this is what they were:

• Only a person of German or similar blood is a citizen of the Reich (Germany). A Jew is not a citizen of the Reich. He has no vote. He may not hold public office.
• Marriage between Jews and citizens of German blood is forbidden.
• Sexual relationships outside marriage between Jews and German citizens are forbidden.
• Jews are forbidden to display the national flag or the national colours. 

These 4 rules contradict all human right by the way the don't treat everyone the same. They deny certain people the right to freedom because of the DNA in the blood that courses through their veins like everyone else. These rules took away Jews rights to vote or feel like they belong. Everyone has a right to marry whom ever they choose, but these rules forbade it. If you weren't someone of German blood or similar, you weren't a citizen of Germany, you didn't have a voice in your own country because they felt your life wasn't work acknowledging. These rules just cover the base of what Jews weren't allowed to do, but there was so much more.
