Nazi Legislation and Discrimination: 1933-1938

When the Nazi party was established in 1920, its platform outlined its intent to segregate the Jewish population, stating that Jews should not be considered German citizens and should not hold any public office. Jews could not own or be editors of newspapers and would be forbidden to immigrate to Germany. When the Nazis won national power in 1933, hundreds of anti-Jewish laws were enacted. With the passage of the Reich Citizenship Law and the Law for the protection of the German Blood and Honor (the "Nuremberg Laws") in 1935, Jews were no longer considered citizens of Germany and were deprived of most of their rights. Since the law defined "Jew" as an inherited trait and not a religion, Germans were required to show proof that their bloodlines were "pure."
