The Nuremberg Laws

1.  Who could now be defined as a "Jew"?
A Jew was not only defined by there believes bur also by their heritage. If they had 3-4 grandparents that were Jews they would be classed as one as well. 


2.  What was meant by "Aryanizing" Jewish Businesses?
Aryanizing Jewish Businesses ment that a Jew employees and manegers were replaced with "non-Jews" Nazi's. This left the Jews with nothing, no money or any way to earn it. 


3.  How were Jews who were professionals (lawyers, doctors etc.) restricted?
Professionals (lawyers, doctors etc.) were restricted so that they could not have any contact with "non-Jew's".  Jewish doctors were not allowed to treat "non-Jewish" patience. Lawyers were prohibited to practice the law. 

4.  What did Jewish identity cards need to include now?

The Jewish identity cards included a red 'J' stamped on them, and a Jews middle name would be changed. If you were a boy 'Israel' would be changed to your middle name, and if you were a girl 'Sara'. This allowed police to identify the Jews with more ease.

5.  What was the "Law for the Protection of the Hereditary Health of the German People" (sum up in your own words)?


The "Law for the Protection of the Hereditary Health of the German People" was to prevent the population from being harmed. If a couple were to be married they were entitled to have a "health check-up" and if one of them had a health problem they wouldn't be able to marry.

  1. Esme, several errors in your first response..always proofread! Also, in the last question, it wasn't just health, but a disability of some sort. 9/10
