Reponse to : The Nuremberg Laws and Nazi Racial Ideology
The Nuremberg Race Laws of 1935 deprived German Jews of their rights of citizenship, giving them the status of “subjects” in Hitler’s Reich. The laws also made it forbidden for Jews to marry or have any relations with Aryans or to employ young Aryan women as household help.

The answer will probably never be found, but future generations can avoid something like the ...
Over all I think that both the Nuremberg Laws, The Nazi Anthem and Nazi Racial Ideology were just tools used by Hitler to persuade the German people to join him by giving them a sense of pride in themselves which they had completely lost as a result of World War One. This was a very smart method to give spirit to the German people, but I am not sure if Hitler truly believed what he said or if he was just using it to persuade the people.
