The 1935 Nuremberg Laws stripped German Jews of their citizen rights and paved the way for the Holocaust.
Jews had already been subjected to job loss and persecution, but these laws made it all the more difficult to find employment and fight persecution. Many Jewish families left Germany. Those who remained faced financial hardship and had much to fear.
Families in which a Christian had married a Jew found themselves in a difficult situation. An "Aryan" spouse provided some protection, but life became much harder for these families. One example would be Sabine Bonhoeffer, sister of the famed theologian Dietrich Bonhoeffer. Sabine married a Jewish law professor. After the Nazis took over, he lost his university position. Their children were taunted in school for being "half breeds." The family was legally barred from hiring females servants under age 45. They lived in constant fear of every knock on the door or unexpected telephone call. Eventually they had to leave the country and flee to England.
