THE NUREMBERG LAWS - Social Studies

THE NUREMBERG LAWS - 

1. Provide two examples of ways in which the Nuremberg laws affected the rights of German Jews. 

“Jewish Patients were no longer admitted to municipal hospitals in Düsseldorf.”
“The Reich Propaganda Ministry issued a decree forbidding Jewish soldiers to be named among the dead in World War I memorials.”

2. What other actions were taken that discriminated against Jews in Germany? (Remembering)

One of the actions was that the Jewish people couldn’t be teachers or doctors so a lot of them lost their jobs. That was only a couple of them so when you think about the rest of them 

3. Why do you think that the Nazis passed these laws? (Understanding)

They wanted power so they decided to use the jews and get rid of them to spread fear. They wanted power and to gain that power they ruled by fear.

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)

People wouldn’t stand for it mainly because we have become a multi-cultural country.

How do we know that Kristallnacht was planned in advance of the event?

Kristallnacht (Night of broken glass) was planned by the Germans before it happened. In the document, it had a time and date that was sent out before the Kristallnacht there for making it obvious that the Germans knew that it was going to happen. Another form of proof is that it has shown everything that the Jews can and can not do like “As soon as possible, officials are to arrest as many jews especially wealthy ones”. The fact that it was sent before the Kristallnacht and showed what the jews can and cannot do, shows how the Germans indeed planned the night of broken glass.
