Anti-Semitic legislation forbade Jews from marrying persons of German or German-related
blood, attending schools and universities, being treated by non-Jewish doctors, and having
other essential rights (Anti-Jewish Legislation in). According to the historian Saul
Friedlnder, the German population, believing in the Nazi Party to save them from political
turmoil, accepted the acts against the Jews. Sympathizing towards Jews would equal to
doubting Hitlers regime (The Nazi rise).
With the deprivation of the Jews rights supported by the German government, the
Jews have no way to stand for themselves. These legislations enabled and allowed the
persecution and massacre of Jews in German-occupied territories during the Holocaust,
which no country can deny or criticize against. However, with the revelation of the Holocaust
through the trials held against Nazi officials post World War II, the world knew the Nazis
terrible actions. Governments then united and formed the UN, which established a
Commission on Human Rights and drafted the UDHR. The UDHR, therefore, is born partly
from the realization of the horrors of extreme mistreatments during the Holocaust. With it, the
way a government treats its citizens becomes an international concern (Flowers, A Short
History).
