Kristallnacht or the Night of Broken Glass in November 1938 changed the tone of Jewish persecution in Nazi Germany from only a legal segregation between Germans and Jews to actual violent persecution, theft, and murder of Jews.
The Nuremberg Laws, enacted in 1935, primarily aimed to institutionalize racial discrimination against Jews in Nazi Germany. They stripped Jews of their German citizenship, prohibited intermarriage and sexual relations between Jews and non-Jewish Germans, and established a legal framework for the systematic exclusion of Jews from various aspects of public life. This marked a significant escalation in anti-Semitic policies, laying the groundwork for further persecution and ultimately the Holocaust. The laws dehumanized Jews and entrenched a racial ideology that justified their marginalization and violence against them.
