Judenstaatteoksen

Judenstaatteoksen, also known as the "Jewish State Decree," was a significant piece of legislation enacted by the Nazi regime in Germany on November 15, 1935. The decree was a culmination of the Nazi party's anti-Semitic policies and marked a turning point in the persecution of Jews in Germany. It was officially titled "Law for the Protection of German Blood and German Honor" (Gesetz zum Schutz des deutschen Blutes und der deutschen Ehre).

The decree established a series of discriminatory measures against Jews, including restrictions on their employment, professional activities, and public life. It also mandated the removal of Jews from public offices, the judiciary, and the civil service. Additionally, the decree prohibited marriages and extramarital relationships between Jews and non-Jews, as well as the adoption of Jewish children by non-Jews.

The Judenstaatteoksen was a precursor to the Nuremberg Laws, which were enacted in 1935 and further solidified the Nazi regime's anti-Semitic policies. The decree had a profound impact on the lives of Jews in Germany, leading to widespread discrimination, persecution, and ultimately, the Holocaust. The full extent of the Nazi regime's anti-Semitic policies and their consequences are a subject of ongoing historical and legal inquiry.
