September 15, 2015 80 years ago today: "The so-called Nuremberg Laws of September 15, 1935, deprived the Jews of German citizenship, confining them to the status of 'subjects.'" "It also forbade marriage between Jews and Aryans as well as extramarital relations between them, and it prohibited Jews from employing female Aryan servants under thirty-five years of age. In the next few years some thirteen decrees supplementing the Nuremberg Laws would outlaw the Jew completely. But already by the summer of 1936 when the Germany which was host to the Olympic games was enchanting the visitors from the West, the Jews had been excluded either by law or by Nazi terror— the latter often preceded the former— from public and private employment to such an extent that at least one half of them were without means of livelihood. In the first year of the Third Reich, 1933, they had been excluded from public office, the civil service, journalism, radio, farming, teaching, the theater, the films; in 1934 they were kicked out of the stock exchanges, and though the ban on their practicing the professions of law and medicine or engaging in business did not come legally until 1938 they were in practice removed from these fields by the time the first four-year period of Nazi rule had come to an end. Moreover, they were denied not only most of the amenities of life but often even the necessities. In many a town the Jew found it difficult if not impossible to purchase food. Over the doors of the grocery and butcher shops, the bakeries and the dairies, were signs, 'Jews Not Admitted.' In many communities Jews could not procure milk even for their young children. Pharmacies would not sell them drugs or medicine. Hotels would not give them a night’s lodging. And always, wherever they went, were the taunting signs 'Jews Strictly Forbidden in This Town' or 'Jews Enter This Place at Their Own Risk.' At a sharp bend in the road near Ludwigshafen was a sign, 'Drive Carefully! Sharp Curve! Jews 75 Miles an Hour!'" William L. Shirer, "The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich." http://althouse.blogspot.com/2015/09/80-years-ago-today-so-called-nuremberg.html |

Why was Nuremberg chosen for the location of the War Crimes Trials? 1) Its palace was intact(never bombed) and had enough space to hold the trials and an accompanying prison. 2) It was also consider the ceremonial birthplace of the Nazi Party and place known for the Mega Nazi rally. It also was home for the infamous Nuremberg Laws. Edited by Baldo, Sep 15 2015, 07:28 PM.

Actual film shown at the Nuremberg by the Allied Prosecution (Warning! Much of this you have never seen. It is as horrific and gruesome as one could imagine.) However this is a part of History we should never forget.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christabel_Bielenberg Her books were fantastic....from the view of a wife and mother. One of the things that struck me the most were the laws that were selectively enforced. This is the first thing I thought off when that woman in KY was put in jail. |

Goodness in the midst of evil Dr. Hans Munch, called the "Good Man Of Auschwictz", was the only doctor who helped the prisoners from the inside. He faked experiments to keep the prisoners from being gassed, refused to choose those to be killed at risk of his own life, and even helped some escape. . At risk of his own life, he did what he could to save as many as he could. He was later put on trial, but because of so many Jewish witnesses stating his goodness to them, he was completely acquitted. |
