History - Nazi Germany

1935 chart from Nazi Germany used to explain the Nuremberg Laws

The Nuremberg Laws of 1935 used a pseudoscientific basis for racial discrimination against Jews. People with four German grandparents (white circles on the chart illustration) were of "German blood", while people were classified as Jews if they descended from three or more Jewish grandparents (black circles in top row right). One or more Jewish grandparents made someone "mixed blood." The Nazis used the religious observance of a person's grandparents to determine their race.
