I. Introduction

a.  Note: The introduction is structurally sound, but it could use improvement in the fact that it has a bit too much detail. To improve it, I will add in a first sentence that briefly summarizes the idea using the information already provided in the previous introductory section. I will then mention the legislations that will be discussed in the following sections and provide broader information as opposed to the specific information that is currently in the introduction, that should be moved to one of the body sections. Furthermore, I will provide sources for the legislations mentioned.

  1. b.    First sentence of Introduction

                     i. Anti-Jewish legislation in pre-war Nazi Germany was a central tenet of Nazi ideology that included a series of legislations passed to segregate the Jews from German society that resulted in the expulsion of the Jewish people’s political, legal and civil rights. 

II.        Subsection one: 1933 Anti-Jewish Legislations

a.    Note: though I had previously stated I would add a section on the 25- point party program I decided to add this section instead as I discovered that 1933 was a crucial year for Anti-Jewish Legislations and that these smaller legislations existed and also acted as crucial precursors to the Nuremberg Laws. Here I have just specified the legislations that will be in the article however the final article will provide more information on the background and effectiveness of the particular legislation.

i.     March 24, 1933 Enabling Act—Gave Government power to govern and legislate by decree which thus gave Nazi party legality (page 96) [1]

ii.     Set of four laws April 1933- first two on civil service and legal profession, third aimed at Jewish doctors, and the fourth at Jewish teachers and students (page 102) [1]iii.     Law for the Restoration of the Professional Civil Service – legal basis to eliminate certain elements that were found undesirable. Defined non-aryan (page 118-120) (102-103)[2][1]

iv.     April 7 1933- Law Concerning Admission to the Legal Profession –aimed toward judges and lawyers p.105 [1]

v.     April 22 1933- Decree Regarding Physicians’ Services with the National Health Service – effected healthcare of jews p. 105[1]

vi.     April 25 1933- Law Against the Overcrowding of German Schools- reduce enrollment of Jewish Students p.106[1]

vii.     July 1933- Advisory Committee for Population and Race Policy – draft new citizenship law p.146[2]

viii.    July 14 1933- Denaturalization Law, allowed citizenship of undesirables (Jews) to be annulled by the Reich p.110[1]

ix.    September 29 Hereditary Farm Law – prohibits Jewish ownership of owning farmland or engaging in agricultural practices p.112[1]

x.     September 29- transfer of power to Joseph Goebbels who then created Chambers of Culture p.113 [1]

III.        Subsection two: The Nuremberg Laws

i.  Note: This section already exists in the article and it provides correct information, but it lacks a source. Below I have provided a source for the information already provided and I have also inserted information that I will add to the existing article that serves to refine the subsection to make it more specific. The Section also includes details about the 1936 Winter and Summer Olympic Games held in Berlin, and the 1937-38 legislations passed, while this information is relevant to the article as a whole it is not relevant to the Nuremberg Laws subsection so I will be adding another subsection that includes this information.

1.    Sources for the information provided in the previous article found in: 

a. The Germans and the Final Solution by David Bankier p. 42-44

b. The Twisted Road to Auschwitz by Karl A Schluenes p 120, 127

b.    Nuremberg Laws Drafted in response to Hitler’s request for a “citizenship law broad enough to underpin the more specifically racial-biological anti-Jewish legislation. Four versions drafted, Hitler ended up selecting the least inclusive one.p.148 [2]

c.    Created as constitutional laws to ‘protect German Blood and Honour’[2]

d.    Nuremberg Laws classified into thirteen implementation ordinances, including citizenship and protection Laws. [2]

e.    Nuremberg laws would help further the idea of biological separation of Jewish and German races [2]

IV.        Subsection Three: Post Nuremberg Legislation

a.    Note: This subsection will include the information that was already provided in the Nuremberg Laws subsection but did not pertain to the Nuremberg laws. I will be providing a source for that information and adding in additional information on Legislations passed after 1935 that were the final legislations of the pre-war era.

i.     Berlin Olympics information from existing article sourced:

1.    The Twisted Road to Auschwitz by Karl A Schluenes p. 126-127

ii.     Second phase occurs 1938

a.     Jewish physicians forced decertification,

b.    July 27 -Streets named after Jews removed,

c.      November 12- Forbidden from attending theaters opera concerts,

d.    November 15- Jewish Students forbidden from attending public school

[3]

V.        I have decided to eliminate the section on Kristallnacht as I found in my research that Kristallnacht was an event, not a legislation and the information provided in the subsection of the existing article can be placed into the new subsection I created regarding post Nuremberg Legislation.
