These laws initially prohibited sexual relations and marriages between Aryans and Jews and were later extended to include "Gypsies, Negroes or their bastard offspring".[210] The law also forbade the employment of German women under the age of 45 as domestic servants in Jewish households.[211] The Reich Citizenship Law stated that only those of "German or related blood" could be citizens.[212] Thus Jews and other non-Aryans were stripped of their German citizenship.
