From the activity we did in class I learned about many of Huremburg Laws put into place. These laws were put into place from 1935-1945 during WWII and effected the Jewish people. We learned got to see about 60 of the laws and when they we passed. As the years went on these laws got more and more strict. It got to a point were Jews could only shop at a certain time and Jews couldn't have any milk. The life for Jews also got worse as the years went on. Jews weren't allowed to work a certain job, buy certain products, or have certain possessions.
I think this monument was built to give a feeling of a proper burial for all of the victims of the Holocaust. The victims of the Holocaust were just dumped into ditches and buried in groups. They were never buried in a proper way, so this monument was to at least give off a feeling of this. I think it is also a rememberence of the whole Holocaust and all of the lives taken from it.
I noticed that more laws were passed in some years than other years. I also noticed that the years there were a lot of laws passed were the years with big events. The first year with a lot of laws passed was 1933, in this year Adolf Hitler came into power. The next year where a lot of laws were passed was 1938, which was the year Kristallnacht (The Night of Shattered Glass) happened. The final year where there were many laws passed was 1942. 1942 was a huge turning point in the war because Germany was finally defeated after a long streak of winning battles and it went all downhill from there.
The restriction I think I would have the most trouble dealing with is the law that restricted Jews from joining any sports clubs. I would have the most trouble with this because I love playing sports. I have been playing sports for basically my whole life, so it would be way source of entertainment gone. It would also be a source of fitness taken away to, so it would harder to stay healthy.
