History

Nuremberg Law

September this year marks the 90 years since the Nuremberg Laws were enacted in 1935, stripping Jewish people in Nazi Germany of citizenship and basic rights. These laws laid the legal groundwork for systemic persecution that led to the Holocaust. Remembering this anniversary is a stark reminder of how quickly prejudice can be written into law—and why vigilance against hate and discrimination remains vital today.

Did You Know: The Nuremberg Laws inspired segregation policies in other countries at the time — showing how dangerous legal discrimination can spread across borders.
