Descripción
In 1935 the city of Nuremberg witnessed the promulgation of a series of racial laws against the Jews. These laws negated citizenship and forbade marital and extramarital relations between Jews and German citizens. Jews were barred from almost all employment and professions. Ten years later in Nuremberg an international court first used the term 'crime against humanity' to define the Shoah.
