Hitler's Laws 1. The Reich Citizenship Law (1935) stripped German citizenship from all individuals, including Jews, who were not "of German or cognate blood"; Jews lost the right to vote and could not hold public office; 2. The Law for the Protection of German Blood and German Honor (1935) forbade marriages and all non-marital sexual relations between "Jews and citizens of German or cognate blood." These two laws (the so-called "Nuremberg Laws") were followed by other repressive regulations, including: 3. Apartments in Munich and Berlin could not be newly rented to Jews without a special permit (1939); 4. Marriages between Germans and Jews were forbidden and cancelled if "illegally" contracted, even if contracted abroad (1939); 5. Jews were forbidden from studying in German schools; being included in visits to youth hostels; participating in school activities which would bring them into physical contact with German pupils; entering public swimming pools; or using resort facilities with Germans. |
