In the early years of the Nazi regime, the National Socialist government established concentration camps to detain real and imagined political and ideological opponents. German police units murdered more than one million Jewish people. The Germans killed almost two out of every three European Jews by 1945. German authorities also targeted other groups because of their perceived "racial inferiority".
The Nuremberg Laws began to exclude Jews from public life. These laws were issued on September 15, 1935. The Nuremberg Laws included a law that stripped German Jews of their citizenship and a law that prohibited marriages and extramarital sex between Jews and Germans. These laws also set the legal precedent for further anti-Jewish legislation. Nazis then issued additional anti-Jews laws over the next several years. For example, some of these laws excluded Jews from places like parks,f ired them from civil service jobs, made Jews register their property, and prevented Jewish doctors from working on anyone other than Jewish patients.
The world was at war by 1939 and Germany was sided with Japan, Russia and Italy against the United States and other "Allied Countries". The Holocaust became a central issue in the war that has caused political upheaval in and around Germany and the Middle East, the Jewish Homeland, which still goes on today. This resulted in a greater worldwide awareness of "anti-Semitism", which is the hatred of the Jewish people.
