    What did the Nuremberg Laws mean to the 'undesirables' in Nazi Germany? What other legal measures were taken against them to make them feel unwanted?   

    Answer:

    Basically, the Nuremberg Laws meant that the 'undesirables' had no rights to live along with the other citizens. These included Jews, Gypsies, 'Blacks' and other nationalities like Polish and Russian people. These laws, promulgated in 1935, stated (i) Only persons of German or related blood would be German citizens, enjoying the protection of the German Empire. (ii) Marriages between Germans and the 'undesirables' were forbidden. Extramarital relations between them also became a crime.   Other legal measures included (i) Boycott of Jewish businesses. (ii) Expulsion of Jews from government services. (iii) Confiscation and forcible selling of the properties of Jews.
