question 9 of 45
the primary purpose of nazi germanys nuremberg laws was to:
a. strip german jews of their citizenship and basic human rights.
b. convince world leaders that german jews were not oppressed.
c. compensate german jews for discrimination they faced in the past.
d. force german jews into work camps where they would be executed.

Explanation:

The Nuremberg Laws, enacted in 1935, were a set of anti - Jewish laws in Nazi Germany. They defined who was Jewish based on ancestry (the "Law for the Protection of German Blood and German Honor") and stripped Jews of their citizenship (the "Reich Citizenship Law"). These laws were a significant step in the Nazi regime's persecution of Jews, aiming to marginalize and dehumanize them by removing their legal status and basic rights.

• Option B is incorrect as the laws were clearly oppressive and not an attempt to show non - oppression.
• Option C is wrong because the laws were discriminatory, not compensatory.
• Option D is incorrect as the work camps and mass executions (which were part of the Holocaust) came later, and the Nuremberg Laws were more about legal status and rights removal rather than immediate execution in work camps.

Answer:

A. strip German Jews of their citizenship and basic human rights.
