Better later then never. Here are some of the Nurnberg laws, introduced
in Nurnberg by Goering and Hitler. I think there was another, later,
set of rules. The following were introduced and (unsurprisingly)
immediately approved on 15 September 1935.

1) Only people of German blood or racially related blood can be
   German citizens. (Jews were reduced to "state members", unable
   to vote).

2) Jews are not allowed to wave the German flag.

3) Jews are forbidden to marry people of German blood or to have
   sex with them (I posted the transcript of a trial in which a
   Jew was sentenced to death for having sex with a German woman;
   same fate was in store for Polish slave labourers during the war).
   Also, German girls are not allowed to work as domestic servants
   in Jewish houses.

By a "Jew" it was meant anyone who had even a single Jewish
grandparent. If he would baptize it wouldn't help; the emphasis
was definitly on race and not religion. In that, the Nazis
"surpassed" classical antisemitism, which considered converted
Jews to be equal to Christians.

There were many other restrictions on Jews which pre-dated the
"Final Solution". When I have time I'll look them up and post.

Here are some more laws posing restrictions on Jews. These came
after the three Nurnberg laws from September 15 1935. Some of them
are referred to as Nurnberg laws also.

1) Jews were removed from the education systems, meaning that Jewish
   children were not allowed to study in ordinary schools but in
   special "Jewish schools". Ditto for Jewish teachers - they could
   teach only at the Jewish schools.

2) October 29 1935: Jews are not allowed to work as pharmacists.

3) July 25 1938: Jews are not allowed to work as physicians.

4) Jews are removed from the association of art historians (Hitler
   considered himself a great artists/architect, and claimed
   that Jews never contributed anything to art, and that the
   Temple in Jerusalem was not built by Jews...).

5) September 27 1938: Jews are not allowed to work as lawyers.

6) May 4 1939: Jews are not allowed to rent property.

7) May 11 1939: Jews are not allowed to work in the travel agency
   business (maybe because that would enable more Jews to escape?).

8) In general, Jewish professors were kicked out of University
   positions, although I cannot find any specific law regarding
   this. For instance, the great philosopher Martin Buber was
   fired from his faculty position.



This list is by no means comprehensive; there were numerous such
laws.
