On 5 June 1934, about a year and half after Adolf Hitler became Chancellor of the Reich, the leading lawyers of Nazi Germany gathered at a meeting to plan what would become the Nuremberg Laws…
That transcript reveals a startling fact: the meeting involved lengthy discussions of the laws of the United States of America.
At its very opening, the Minister of Justice presented a memorandum on US race law and, as the meeting progressed, the participants turned to the US example repeatedly. They debated whether they should bring Jim Crow segregation to the Third Reich. They engaged in detailed discussion of the statutes from the 30 US states that criminalised racially mixed marriages. They reviewed how the various US states determined who counted as a ‘Negro’ or a ‘Mongol’, and weighed whether they should adopt US techniques in their own approach to determining who counted as a Jew. Throughout the meeting the most ardent supporters of the US model were the most radical Nazis in the room.
This story might seem incredible. Why would the Nazis have felt the need to take lessons in racism from anybody? Why, most especially, would they have looked to the US? Whatever its failings, after all, the US is the home of a great liberal and democratic tradition. Moreover, the Jews of the US – however many obstacles they might have confronted in the early 20th century – never faced state-sponsored persecution. And, in the end, Americans made immense sacrifices in the struggle to defeat Hitler.
Nevertheless the evidence is there, and we cannot read it out of either German or American history.

A key advisor who spent time taking notes about the South in particular, was Heinrich Krieger, an exchange student at the University of Arkansas...
You aren’t letting up with your anti-America themes are you.
Ohh, phu cough.
Remember, it was Democrats that instituted Jim Crow laws.
Wait a second. I thought they took cues from the way ‘native Americans’ were treated. 🤔😂👍
They did, Heinrich Krieger who I mentioned above, studied laws pertaining to American Indians as well. (While at the Univ. of Arkansas.)
I lived it and remember segregation.
What a load of crap! Right off the bat there was NEVER a law, that I know of, anywhere in the USA concerning Jewish ancestry. This was the #1 priority of Nazi race laws.
They took inspiration of the laws applying to blacks and Native Americans in the US, to apply to the Jews.
It was the Democrats that used eugenics to justify their efforts to string up as many blacks as they could, using Jim Crow. Hitler also used eugenics to call Jews as unfit genetically and a threat to the Master Race (Herrenrasse).
This may make some people uncomfortable, but truth should always be valued above blind allegiance so that we learn from our mistakes.
Actually, after two recent HORRIFIC attacks on innocent young White girls on public transit,
I'd say that the old race laws would have prevented such recent horrors inflicted upon Iryna and Bethany.
It’s not surprising at all that the Nazis took lessons from Democrats in America. They also copied much of what the communists did in the Soviet Union. They’re very similar in ideology, and the Nazis were more left wing that today’s left will admit.
