History

Historical Context

In September 1935 Adolf Hitler’s Nazi regime passed the Nuremberg Laws, revoking Jewish citizenship and banning mixed marriages. The laws built on more than 400 anti-Jewish regulations introduced from 1933, creating a legal model for state-sanctioned hatred that resurfaced when Donald Trump called Senator Roger Marshall a “Shylock” at a 2023 rally, a slur the Anti-Defamation League says revives language condemned since the Nuremberg era.
