Nuremburg Laws/1936 Olympics

In 1935 Adolf Hitler made laws for the Jewish people. The purpose of the laws were to purify the German race and keep it existent and singled out Jewish people. The laws consisted rules such as Jews could not interact with Germans. For example thy can not marry or go to the same school, such as segregation. Jews could not show or display any form of Germany. They could not raise a Nazi Germany flag etc. Jewish people were now considered illegal aliens since the laws took away their citizenship. All Jews had to wear the Star of David so people could know they were Jewish. If any of the laws were broken they would be forced with hard labor, fine, or sent to prison. But in 1936 Germany was hosting the summer Olympics. So Hitler decided to remove these laws. He did it so other countries could see how much of a great nation they were, where everybody was friendly. During the Olympics Hitler thought Germany was going to dominate everything and everyone. They did win the most medals, but was surprised when an African-American, Jesse Owens, beat his German sprinters. He was so surprised he had his scientist try to figure out why Owens was so fast. After the Olympics, Hitler reactivated the laws and everything was back to normal. All Jews were isolated from Germans.
