In September 15, 1935 Nazi Germany’s Reichstag enacted the Reich Citizenship Law. This law was not the beginning, but one of many of the Nazi government’s attempts to create a uniform sense of community in Germany. Prior to 1933, Germany’s government was ruled by the Weimar republic, which took over after WW1. Citizens of Germany were upset with the economic and political problems that plagued the country following the Treaty of Versailles, and were desperate for a charismatic leader who offered
criminal justice spectrum, there is Germany, a nation with a shaky and complex history. Until October of 1990, Germany was divided into two separate nations, West Germany and East Germany.

The Nuremberg Laws originated at a rally held by the NAZI Party in Nuremberg on September 15, 1935. The laws, which were divided into seven sections, were designed by Adolf Hitler himself (Britannica). The majority of the laws took effect in 1935, but every law was active by 1938 (USHMM).

In addition to all of this, Germany was forced to accept war guilt as having been solely responsible for World War I.
