Nuremberg laws are basically some laws or rules that allow no connection between Jews and Germans. Nuremberg Laws are just like Jim Crow Laws but for Germany and Jewish people instead of American and black people. These laws are awful to have in any country. These laws make such racist or segregating statements that should not be created. The Germans were not allowed to associate with Jews when you should be able to talk or spend time with anyone you want. Nuremberg laws are not letting Jews have freedom and basic rights when everyone of any race or religion should have freedom and basic rights.
