Before Hitler and the Nazis began transporting Jewish people to concentration camps, they first enacted Nuremberg Laws that restricted Jewish people’s freedom. Discuss which restrictions you felt were harshest and analyze what they did to the Jewish population’s morale.

I think that the restrictions that i thought were harshest were all of the above. Taking Jewish people against there will is just the worst thing ever. This i think depleated the Jewish peoples moral.

I think the restrictions were harsh. They really picked on the Jews and worked them to death and disgrimated them.
I agree with Evan on what he said about the jewish people.

I think all of them were harsh some of them seemed pointless but I think having rations hurt them alot because they could not take there stress out on food

I believe that having rations really hurt them because they couldnt get as much as they would and they wouldnt be able to get enough to maybe even satisfy their hunger.
Madisons comment is a good comment.(evan you need to spell check)

I agree with what Evan said, but he wasn’t really specific on which restrictions. I agree with what he was saying about how it was terrible and depleated their morale.

I think that most of the resrictions were simply irritating, but the two I think are the worst is the one that phrohibites them from visiting public places of entertainment or sports grounds. The other is the one that allows the gradual dismissal of Jewish employees in private commerce and industry. All of the restrictions must have lowered the morale of all Jews for they were very annoying and sometimes totally unfair.

I think the laws were racially discrminating. They separated Jews from the Germans and not allowing them to live together, work together, or even get married. The Jewish people must of felt very miserable because they did not have freedom of speech they always wanted. It must have been difficult to live in a society where you felt like a prisoner. An example would be Anne and her family living in the Annex.

I think the laws of not being ablr to ride a bike were extremly harsh. Because of this Jews had to walk ever where even I the hot sun. Because of having to walk and at the same time seeing others riding their bikes or trains the Jewish people felt worthless. They Felt like they may have no point to exsit at all.

Elise I think you could have been more spesific about the restritcions.

I think that all of the restrictions were harsh. I believe that there shouldn’t have been any restrictions in the first place. I think that when the restrictions were placed upon the Jews, it really crushed their morale. I mean I know that it would crush mine. If people in the world didn’t even know you and they hated you just because of what religion you were. Then because of that they decided that they needed to work you to death and torture you. It wasn’t right. I would feel like I didn’t even belong on this earth: like an alien from another world.
I completely agree with Karli on her answer. Her reasoning and her example are very true(but Karli you do need spell check.)

I think all of them were very harsh. I think the harshest were the radio and that they could not go into any stores, unless they were jewish stores. I think it is unfair how they can not be caught up on current news, and everybody should be aloud in stores, no matter what.
November 11, 2008 at 9:30 pm
I strongly agree with Karli and Marissa.

Just like everyone else has said, all of the restrictions were very harsh. I think one of the worst ones doesn’t seem so bad to most, but it was very hard on the Jews. It was having to wear the Star of David all the time. This separated them from everyone and made them feel like they were aliens. This tied into all the other restrictions because that one symbol meant that they could not go to many places and it put them in danger constantly. When children saw a person wearing the star, they were taught to look away, even adults ignored the people or offended them in some way. Imagine what this felt like: being despised by everyone (even if they didn’t know you) and being on danger of arrest at any minute. Luckily, the Franks did not have to deal with it for very long before they went into hiding, but it must have been hard on the people’s morale. The other situation that was hard was not being able to have the same education, work options, or friends as the “Non Jews”. children had to change schools and most of them lost their friends who were not Jewish too. Many adults lost their jobs and became unemployed or ended up with very bad jobs. overall, all the restrictions the Jews faced lowered their morale and ended many lives. Everything they were prohibited from had been a crucial pa
rt of their lives before, and now they had to live without it. Whether the families went into hiding or got sent to concentration camps, the jewish people’s morale was crushed.

I agree with Evan.
Taking the freedom of person will be very harsh.
