How does a tragic event like the Holocaust affect the racial attitudes of Americans here? Come explore this complex and thought provoking issue and immerse yourself in life lessons that history has to offer. The Nazi legal assault on the Jews between 1933 and 1939 was not unique in its racial character nor in its segregationist aims. As with many Nazi attacks against the Jews, the Nazis took ideas and practices that were common in their own and other cultures and radicalized them to suit their needs. The American Jim Crow Laws were part of that inspiration. This exhibit will examine the Jim Crow laws — with a special focus on Houston’s segregationist past — and the Nuremberg laws.
