Today in class I learned about Nuremberg Laws. We saw how the laws took away many Jewish rights and freedoms. The Nuremberg laws were targeting Jews. For example, In 1933 many Jews were discharged from their jobs. Many of the jobs that let go Jewish employees in 1933 were jobs that involved other people. An example would be that teachers where released from their jobs. This affected many Jewish people because they didn’t have a job anymore and they needed money to be able to provide not only for themselves, but possibly for their family.
I think that the monument was built because it was to honor and show a sign of respect to all the Jews that died and suffered during the Holocaust. The Holocaust lasted about 4 years. Millions of people died. I think that they made the monument because they want to honor them by building a monument to let the survivors them know that we respect them and feel deeply sorry for what they had gone threw.
I noticed in the laws that some years had a lot more laws made than others. The laws were created and many of the laws targeted Jews. For example in the activity that we did we did not see every law created in every year, but, we did see that some years had more laws than others. An example of this would be in 1937 there were very few laws. Then the next year in 1938 there was a lot more laws compared to 1937. This may have affected Jews because as the years progresses they were losing more of their rights and freedoms.
I think that the law I would have the biggest problem with would have to be that pets would be taken away. The law that took away the pets of Jewish people was created in 1942. I love my dog and I would be very sad if she was taken away. I think that the people who did get their pets taken away were probably very upset. This may have been a big challenge for them because after their pets were taken away they may have possibly felt, depressed, or lonely because they missed their pet.
