The Nuremberg Laws, also known as the Anti-Jewish laws, were statutes created in Germany for the purpose of maintaining blood purity of the Aryan race.[3] The laws indicating the necessity of obtaining a German Blood Certificate were implemented at the time relationships between Aryan and Jews were outlawed.[3] German Blood Certificates were documentations that classified who was of "German or related blood".[4] Aryans could face a prison sentence if they were to go against the established laws.
