Examples the nuremberg laws by listing examples. why would the germans make these laws?

One of the most important aspects of these laws was the establishment of a legal definition for Jew. The Laws also outlined different levels of Jewish individuals, depending on the number of Jewish grandparents an individual had.

o                 An individual with three or more Jewish grandparents was classified as a full Jew.

o                 An individual with two Jewish grandparents was considered a Mischling of the first degree, or half Jew.

Mischlinge of the first degree were broken down into two sub-groups:

1)     Individuals who were married to a Jew or had been members in the Jewish community were referred to as Geltungsjuden. These people were treated as full Jews and subject to the same persecution and restrictive laws. They could only marry other Jews or other Geltungsjuden.

2)     Individuals with two Jewish grandparents who were baptized into the Protestant or Catholic tradition were known simply as Mischlinge. Under the original Nuremberg Laws, Mischlinge were able to keep their citizenship; however, eventually their rights were taken away and they were treated like the Geltungsjuden.
