Greetings. Today with the subject mentioned in the title, we looked at the Nuremberg Laws and answered 5 questions relating to them. Nuremberg Laws are basically the official rules that the Nazis passed to protect the German blood and honour pure in 1935. My answers are the ones highlighted this time.
1.) Provide two examples of ways in which the Nuremberg laws affected the rights of German Jews.They have prohibited them from marrying or having sexual relations with persons of "German or German-related blood and Jews were taken off their rights to vote and could not hold public office.
2.)What other actions were taken that discriminated against Jews in Germany? (Remembering)
Their rights were taken off them such as Jewish patients in the hospital were no longer admitted to municipal hospitals in Düsseldor and Jews university students were not allowed to sit for doctoral exams and Jewish officers were expelled from the army etc.
3.)Why do you think that the Nazis passed these laws? (Understanding)
Nazis passed these laws because they believe that Jews want to dominate Germany and lower their ‘pure’ German blood. Therefore, they prohibited them from marrying or having any sexual relationships of their kind to Jews to keep the German blood pure uncontaminated.
4.) If a New Zealand government passed a law that provided for different treatment of a named racial group in New Zealand, what do you think the reaction of most New Zealand people would be? Why do you think this might be the case? (Applying)
If such laws would exist, it would anger some netizens and certainly find it unfair. It is because people in NZ believes in and promotes equality. In worse case scenarios, it could be the cause of the country's downfall.
5.) Do you think these Nuremberg laws were racist? Explain your point of view. (Evaluating)
I definitely think these Nuremberg laws are racist. I think the reason for my opinion should be pretty self-explanatory. All of these rules violate most human rights. It is prejudiced, biased and discriminatory rules. I don't think these even should exist in the first place.
