In the context of Isabelle Wilkerson's thesis in Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents, we will explore how the driving force of racism led to both the Holocaust and the oppression of African Americans in the 1930s. We will learn what the Nazi regime thought about American law with regard to citizenship, voting rights, interracial marriage, and immigration. We will discuss the historical connections between American race law and the infamous Nuremberg Laws.
