Nazi Laws Regarding Jews, German Nationality & Properties
§ Under Section 2 of Citizenship law, a Jew loses German citizenship when he
moves out abroad
§ In 1968, the Federal Constitutional Court of West Germany rules that they
intend to deprive the Nazi laws of its validity because they so evidently clear
contradicting fundamental principles of justice and to recognize them, its
legal consequence would lead to injustice (so in this matter as compared to Berlin
wall shootings case, here validity of law was put to question)
§ Section 3 of Decree provides that property of Jews who have lost their
nationality becomes property of the Reich
§ Jewish German women who migrated to Switzerland in 1939 had left securities
in a deposit in a German bank can be restored her property due to this
retrospective effect
§ Positivist thinking: retrospective legislation should be made to make an
old law invalid but the Nazi’s la cannot take a retrospective stand from
positivist point of view as thy cannot make their deduction from laws properly
made (legislation or any other forms of enacted law through a normal law making
process)
1993-1994 (First wave of legislation which focus on limiting the participation of
Jews in German public life)
Ø Laws for the Restoration of the Professional Civil Service April 1933
provided that Jews and politically unreliable civil servant and employees were
to be excluded from State service
Ø Also restricted the number of Jewish students at German School and
universities
Ø Then another legislation to curtail Jewish activity in Medical and Legal
professions
Ø Nazi government revoked the licenses of Jewish Tax Accountants, imposed a
1.5 percent quota on admission of non-aryans to public schools and universities
Ø Fired Jewish civilian workers from the Army
Ø Forbade them from performing on stage
1935
Ø Lawful protection of German Blood and German Honour at the party rally in
Nuremberg, announced that they are prohibited from marrying or having sexual
relations with persons of German or German related blood
1937-1938
Ø Government set out to impoverish Jews and remove them from German economy
by requiring them to register their property
Ø Known as First Decree of Reich Citizenship laws
Ø Cannot be citizen, not entitled to right to vote, cannot hold public office
For Jews who manage to emigrate, manage to save small
portion of assets and for others, property and money kept in specified
financial institution can only withdraw living expenses.
