'''The Nuremberg Laws''' were a series of  laws enacted in [[National Socialist Germany]] on the 15th of September 1935. they were approved at a NSDAP convention in the city of Nuremberg and established the criteria for German citizenship. they were composed of two "main" laws, the Reich Citizenship Law and the Law for the Protection of German Blood and German Honor; their primary characteristic was a focus on Racial Preservation, meaning that they forbade marriage and sexual relations between the races, primarily jews. There were also later supplementary decrees and restrictions.

'''2) FIRST SUPPLEMENTARY DECREE (14 NOVEMBER 1935)'''
 
 
On the basis of Article III of the Reich Citizenship Law of September 15, 1935, the following is hereby decreed:
 
'''ARTICLE I:''' (I) Until further provisions concerning citizenship papers, all subjects of German or kindred blood who possessed the right to vote in the Reichstag elections when the Citizenship Law came into effect, shall, for the present, possess the rights of Reich citizens. The same shall be true of those upon whom the Reich Minister of the Interior, in conjunction with the Deputy to the Führer, shall confer citizenship. (2) The Reich Minister of the Interior, in conjunction with the Deputy to the Führer, may revoke citizenship.
 
'''ARTICLE II:''' (I) The provisions of Article I shall apply also to subjects who are of mixed[[jews]]blood. (2) An individual of mixed[[jews]]blood is one who is descended from one or two grandparents who, racially, were full jews, insofar that he is not a[[jews]]according to Section 2 of Article V. Full-blooded[[jews]]grandparents are those who belonged to [...].
 
'''ARTICLE III:''' Only citizens of the Reich, as bearers of full political rights, can exercise the right of voting in political matters, and have the right to hold public office. The Reich Minister of the Interior, or any agency he empowers, can make exceptions during the transition period on the matter of holding public office. These measures do not apply to matters concerning religious organizations.
 
'''ARTICLE IV:''' (I) A[[jews]]cannot be a citizen of the Reich. He cannot exercise the right to vote; he cannot occupy public office. (2)[[jews]]officials will be retired as of December 31, 1935. In the event that such officials served at the front in the World War either for Germany or her allies, they shall receive as pension, until they reach the age limit, the full salary last received, on the basis of which their pension would have been computed. they shall not, however, be promoted according to their seniority in rank. When they reach the age limit, their pension will be computed again, according to the salary last received on which their pension was to be calculated. (3) These provisions do not concern the affairs of religious organizations. (4) The conditions regarding service of teachers in public[[jews]]schools remain unchanged until the promulgation of new regulations on the[[jews]]school system.
 
'''ARTICLE V:''' (I) A[[jews]]is an individual who is descended from at least three grandparents who were, racially, full[[jews]][…]. (2) A[[jews]]is also an individual who is descended from two full-jewish grandparents if: (a) he was a member of the[[jews]]religious community when this law was issued, or joined the community later; (b) when the law was issued, he was married to a person who was a jew, or was subsequently married to a jew; (c) he is the issue from a marriage with a jew, in the sense of Section I, which was contracted after the coming into effect of the Law for the Protection of German Blood and Honour of September 15, 1935; (d) he is the issue of an extramarital relationship with a jew, according to Section I, and born out of wedlock after July 31,1936.
 
'''ARTICLE VI:''' (I) Insofar as there are, in the laws of the Reich or in the decrees of the National Socialist Labor party and its affiliates, certain requirements for the purity of German blood which extend beyond Article V, the same remain untouched […].
 
'''ARTICLE VII:''' The Führer and Chancellor of the Reich is empowered to release anyone from the provisions of these administrative decrees.                                                                                                                           
 
 
'''3) THE LAW FOR THE PROTECTION OF GERMAN BLOOD AND HONOUR (15 SEPTEMBER 1935)'''
 
 
Imbued with the knowledge that the purity of German blood is the necessary prerequisite for the existence of the German nation, and inspired by an inflexible will to maintain the existence of the German nation for all future times, the Reichstag has unanimously adopted the following law, which is now enacted:
 
'''ARTICLE I:''' (I) Any marriages between[[jews]]and citizens of German or kindred blood are herewith forbidden. Marriages entered into despite this law are invalid, even if they are arranged abroad as a means of circumventing this law. (2) Annulment proceedings for marriages may be initiated only by the Public Prosecutor.
 
'''ARTICLE II:''' Extramarital relations between[[jews]]and citizens of German or kindred blood are herewith forbidden.
 
'''ARTICLE III:'''[[jews]]are forbidden to employ as servants in their households female subjects of German or kindred blood who are under the age of forty-five years.
 
'''ARTICLE IV:''' (I)[[jews]]are prohibited from displaying the Reich and national flag and from showing the national colors. (2) However, they may display the[[jews]]colors. The exercise of this right is under state protection.
 
'''ARTICLE V:''' (I) Anyone who acts contrary to the prohibition noted in Article I renders himself liable to penal servitude. (2) The man who acts contrary to the prohibition of Article II will be punished by sentence to either a jail or penitentiary. (3) Anyone who acts contrary to the provisions of Articles III and IV will be punished with a jail sentence up to a year and with a fine, or with one of these penalties.
 
'''ARTICLE VI:''' The Reich Minister of Interior, in conjunction with the Deputy to the Führer and the Reich Minister of Justice, will issue the required legal and administrative decrees for the implementation and amplification of this law.
 
'''ARTICLE VII:''' This law shall go into effect on the day following its promulgation, with the exception of Article III, which shall go into effect on January 1, 1936.

'''ARTICLE III:''' (I) Nationals of mixed[[jews]]blood with two grandparents who are full[[jews]]require the permission of the Reich Minister for the Interior and the Deputy Leader […] in order to contract a marriage with nationals of German or similar blood or with nationals of mixed[[jews]]blood who have only one full[[jews]]grandparent […].

{{Quote|You are now lining up for this roll call for the third time; more than 54,000 representatives of a community which grows from year to year. The weight of those you personify here each year has become consistently greater. Not only in terms of quantity, oh no; we can see it: in terms of quality. If I think back on the first roll call and on the second and compare them to this one today, I can see the same development we see evidenced throughout the rest of German Volksleben: our Volk is becoming increasingly disciplined, sturdier, more taut- and youth is beginning to as well. The ideal of the man has been subjected to different views in our Volk as well. There were times-they seem to be long ago and are almost incomprehensible to us-when the ideal of the young German man was, to use the jargon, a beer-drinking, hard-living fellow.
Today we are happy to note that the ideal is no longer the beer-drinking and hardliving young man, but the tough young man, impervious to wind and weather. For the main thing is not how many glasses of beer he can drink, but how many blows he can withstand; not how long he can make the rounds night after night, but how many kilometers he can march.
Today the beer-happy bourgeois (Bierspiesser) of those times is no longer regarded as the ideal of the German Volk, but men and girls who are fit as a fiddle, who are string taut. What we want from our German youth is different from what the past wanted of it. In our eyes, the German youth of the future must be slender and supple, swift as greyhounds, tough as leather, and hard as Krupp steel. We must cultivate a new man in order to prevent the ruin of our Volk by the degeneration manifested in our age.|Adolf Hitler|Speech held at the 1935 Nuremberg Congress to 54.000 Hitler-Jugend Members

Israel prohibits marriage between[[jews]]and non-jews, between individuals of only partial[[jews]]ancestry and[[jews]]with "full"[[jews]]ancestry, between converts to judaism and[[jews]]with[[jews]]ancestry, and same-sex marriages.<ref>Israel’s “jews-Only” Marriage Laws Explained http://davidduke.com/israels-jews-only-marriage-laws-explained/</ref><Ref>Israeli Newspaper Spells Out Laws Prohibiting Mixed and Same Sex Marriages in Israel http://davidduke.com/israeli-newspaper-spells-jewish-supremacist-laws-make-mixed-sex-marriages-illegal-israel/</ref>

The Nuremberg Laws were two anti-Semitic 1935 laws in National Socialist Germany, approved at a NSDAP convention in Nuremberg. One deprived Jews of German citizenship. The other forbade marriage or sexual relations between Jews and “citizens of German or kindred blood."

There were also later supplementary decrees and restrictions. The first defined Jews as persons with at least one Jewish grandparent.

Later, two basic Jewish categories were established. A full Jew was anyone with three Jewish grandparents. Mixed Jews (Mischlinge) were eventually divided into two classes. First-degree mixed Jews had two Jewish grandparents, but did not practice Judaism and did not have a Jewish spouse. Second-degree mixed Jews had only one Jewish grandparent.
