Nuremberg Laws
1. Marriage between Jews and subjects of the state of German or related blood are forbidden. Marriages nevertheless concluded are invalid, even if concluded abroad to circumvent the law. Annulment proceedings can be initiated only by the State Prosecutor.
2. Extramarital intercourse between Jews and subjects of the state of German or related blood is forbidden.
3. Jews may not employ in their household female subjects of the state of German or related blood who are under 45 years old.
4. Jews are forbidden to fly the Reich or National flag or to display the Reich colors. They are, on the other hand, permitted to display the Jewish colors. The exercise of this right is protected by the State.
5. Any person who violates the prohibition under I will be punished by a prison sentence with hard labor. A male who violates the prohibition under I will be punished with a prison sentence with or without hard labor. Any person violating the provisions under III or IV will be punished with a prison sentence of up to one year and a fine, or with one or the other of these penalties. The Reich Minister of the Interior, in coordination with the Deputy of the Führer and the Reich Minister of Justice, will issue the Legal and Administrative regulations required to implement and complete the Law. The Law takes effect on the day following promulgations except for III, which goes into force on January 1, 1936. Nuremberg, September 15, 1935 at the Reich Party Congress of Freedom.
I think that the Nuremberg Laws were very bad because it was targeting Jews and limiting their freedom. The laws were set only upon Jews and didn't allow them to marry Germans and other things. The laws limited their marriage rights and intercourse between Germans. The laws also took away the right to employ German women or people under the age of 45. These laws also took away the ability to fly Reich or National flag or Reich colors.
Propaganda
Propaganda is biased information and is misleading that is used to promote a political cause or point of view. Propaganda influences the attitude of a population toward a specific cause. It is information that is not objective and can be used by selectively presenting facts or lies. Propaganda is often used by governments and companies to promote a certain product or idea. It is used as advertisements, newspapaers, and television to influence an audience. Identifying propaganda has always been a problem. The main difficulties have involved differentiating propaganda from other types of persuasion, and avoiding a biased approach. One group may say that someone has used propaganda, while another group might say it's not propaganda. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propaganda
