The Nuremberg Laws"The 'Law for the Protection of German Blood and German Honor' (Blood Protection Law)' aimed to isolate the Jews racially and socially by prohibiting them, under pain of severe punishment, from marrying or having sexual relations with non-Jews. In addition, Jews were prohibited from employing Aryan housemaids younger than 45. They were also barred from flying the new, official swastika
flag. " ~German History for documents and images.

“Slated for extermination were those Hitler considered 'inferior' : Jews, Slavs, political dissidents (people opposed to the Nazis, such as Communists), Gypsies or Roma, people who were physically disabled or considered mentally ill, and people who might be gay.” ~Toby Axelrod |
