Description
Excerpts from book, One of Humanity's Darkest Days, the Truth about the Holocaust
Chapter 11 explores the legalized persecution of Jews in Nazi Germany, highlighting how laws and policies were weaponized to discriminate and harm. After Hitler's rise to power, laws like the "Law for the Restoration of the Professional Civil Service" (April 7, 1933) fired Jews from government jobs. The Nuremberg Laws (September 15, 1935) stripped Jews of citizenship and banned intermarriage. Further policies restricted Jewish businesses, property ownership, and mandated the wearing of yellow stars. Kristallnacht (November 9, 1938) marked a horrific escalation of violence, foreshadowing the atrocities to come. Chapter 11 emphasizes the dangers of discrimination embedded in legal systems and the importance of understanding this history to combat hatred and injustice.
