Scope and Content

The file contains several documents concerning the nazi German racial laws, enactments and correspondence concerning race 'defilement' in 1935-1943. Based on the Nuremberg Laws of 1935, the law for the protection of German blood and German honour, which forbade marriages and extramarital intercourse between Jews and Germans. Further questions concerning the 'Blutschutzgesetz' (Race defilement) and the handling of it are discussed in the documents. For example no German, who is living together with a Jewish person in one household is allowed to fly the Reich or national flag or display Reich colours. In the correspondence it is pointed out, that an exact examination of all the questions is fundamental in order to obey the laws.
