2: This meant that Jewish workers and managers were dismissed, and the ownership of most Jewish businesses was taken over by non-Jewish Germans who bought them at bargain prices fixed by Nazi.
3: Jewish doctors were forbidden to help non-Jews, and Jewish lawyers were not permitted to practice law.
4: They were required to carry identity cards, but the government added special identifying marks to theirs: a red "J" stamped on them and new middle names for all those Jews who did not possess recognizably "Jewish" first names -- "Israel" for males, "Sara" for females. Such cards allowed the police to identify Jews easily.
5: The law was to make two couples that wanted to get married get a certificate from the public health authorities to prove that they are both fit to marry each other. Some certificate were not given to people who had "hereditary illnesses" and contagious diseases and those attempting to marry in violation of the Nuremberg Laws.
