Before the Nuremberg Laws were brought out many German Jews were living normal lives and contributed significantly to German culture. After the racial laws were brought out everything turned upside down for the German Jews and they were no longer considered a citizen of Germany. The Jews occupations, pastimes and education all changed after the Nuremberg laws were brought in because they weren't allowed to do anything. The Nuremberg laws changed life for the German Jews horrendously.
The Nuremberg Laws were introduced into Germany in 1935. The purpose of these laws was to set the boundaries of what the Nazi party considered to be acceptable to them. The main purpose though was to exterminate Jews in Germany, in order to create a "perfect race-. The laws prevented them from marrying non-Jews. They also lost their right to vote and had to use separate seats in buses and parks that were painted yellow. .
Before the Nuremberg laws the Jews considered themselves as Germans first and Jews second. Many Jews served in World War 1 and they considered Germany a home. During the Weimar Republic Germany Jews were considered to be a citizen in every respect. They were to be found in all walks of life, especially in professions such as medicine, dentistry, law, the universities and the civil service. German Jews only considered themselves to be different from other Germans only in the religion they practiced. They were merchants, scholars and professional people who went to the same schools and gathered in the same places as other Germans. The other Germans were used to dealing with Jewish businessmen and having their ailments treated by Jewish doctors. There was anti-Semitism going on way before the Nuremberg laws. Many Germans were jealous of the Jews having money and good jobs and just being happy. The Germans began to blame the Jews for everything that went wrong in the country, leading to the hatred of the Jews.
