The Nuremberg Laws of 1935 should not be confused with the postwar Nuremberg Tribunal.

The Nuremberg Laws (1935) were anti-Semitic laws that took away civil rights and (in effect) citizenship from German Jews.

Anyone who had three or four Jewish grandparents was classified as a full Jew, regardless of whether that individual recognized himself or herself as a Jew or belonged to the Jewish religious community. (Those with two Jewish grandparents were classified as "half Jews," and those with one Jewish grandparent were classed as "quarter Jews.")

The Nuremberg Laws forbade sex and marriage between Jews and non-Jews. Later, the term "sex" was defined in detail.

The laws were drawn up by Wilhelm Stuckart and Hans Globke. There is disagreement among historians as to whether the Nuremberg Laws were, in some sense, "spontaneous" (for example, a reaction to a recent anti-Jewish riot) or whether they had been planned long in advance.

The Nuremburg law, enacted by Nazi Germany, declared that Jews are not human beings and hence have no legal rights.
