The Nuremberg laws defined a Jew as someone who was Jewish by heredity (race) rather than by practice (religion).The racial Nuremberg laws were passed by the Nazi government on September 15, 1935 at their annual NSDAP Reich Party Congress in Nuremberg, Germany. These two laws namely the Reich Citizenship Law, and the Law to Protect German Blood and Honor became collectively known as the Nuremberg laws.These laws took German citizenship away from Jews and outlawed both marriage and sex between Jews and non- Jews.
