!!!Nürnberger Gesetze

Nuremberg Laws, "Reichsbuergergesetz" (law governing citizenship in 
the German Reich) and the "Gesetz zum Schutz des deutschen Blutes und 
der deutschen Ehre" (law for the protection of German blood and 
honour) passed on the occasion of the party conference of the NSDAP on 
September 15, 1939. According to these laws, German citizenship could 
only be obtained by Germans themselves or by "related blood". The 
"Blood Protection Law" forbade German citizens to marry Jews or to 
have extramarital sexual intercourse with them. The Nuremberg Laws 
were the first step towards the almost complete extermination of Jews 
in the National Socialist period. After the Austrian anschluss to the 
German Reich they also came into effect in Austria.
