However, you might be referring to the Nuremberg Laws, which were a set of antisemitic and racist laws enacted in Nazi Germany under Adolf Hitler's regime. These laws were implemented in 1935 and formed the legal basis for the persecution and discrimination against Jews in Germany.
The Nuremberg Laws consisted of two main pieces of legislation:
The Reich Citizenship Law: This law deprived German Jews of their citizenship and classified them as "subjects" rather than citizens. As a result, Jews lost many of their rights and protections under German law.
The Law for the Protection of German Blood and German Honor: This law prohibited marriages and sexual relations between Jews and non-Jews (Germans), aiming to prevent "racial pollution." It also defined Jews based on their ancestry, using a series of racial criteria.
These laws marked a significant turning point in the systematic persecution of Jews in Nazi Germany, leading to further discriminatory measures and eventually culminating in the Holocaust, during which millions of Jews and other minorities were systematically murdered.
