Abstract:
States that after Jewish jurists were removed from office and their books from the libraries, Nazi law went its own way. National and local authorities issued 1,973 anti-Jewish laws, ordinances, guidelines, and decrees, which were no longer subject to judicial review. Moreover, in the absence of a relevant law, courts often based anti-Jewish decisions on conformity to Nazi racial ideology. In 1936 Jews were ruled to be without rights, i.e. legally dead. The term "sexual relations" in the context of the Nuremberg Laws was interpreted so broadly that even exchange of letters might violate the law; and the Jewish culprit was automatically sent to a concentration camp after his release from prison. In 1943 all matters concerning Jews were transferred from the courts to the police.
