I read an interesting article about the Nuremberg Laws

One of the inspirations for it was America's Jim Crow laws. Ironically even the NAZIS thought the "one drop rule" that stated even those who appear to be white aren't white if they had even a drop of black blood was too harsh.

Also, the initial goal wasn't so much the extermination of the Jews, it was to make life so miserable for them they would leave. It sounds like what Drumpf is doing to Hispanics and Muslims.
