This chart—produced in 1935 by Willi Hackenberger for the Reich Committee for Public Health—instructs ordinary Germans about the meaning of the “Law for the Protection of German Blood and German Honor” (one of the Nürnberg Race Laws) and its effect on marriage law. The columns describe the three racial categories established by the Nürnberg Laws and their enacting legislation; the column on the left shows the racial genealogy that a “person of German blood” would have; the next two describe the genealogies for persons of mixed race (Mischlinge), first and second degree; the two columns describe on the right present the new, a racial definition of Jew. The graphs below these genealogies describe which marriages are permitted under the Nürnberg Race Laws, and which are forbidden. The original is 30 x 41,2 cm in size.
