close reading exercise "Living Justice"

I think that in the article, the opinions expressed reflect hallmark 2. Hallmark 2 states " We honor the dignity and sacredness of each person" In the article it talks about how theres been a debate between the historical context of European colonialism and its role in setting up global poverty. In the article, it says that the church says that all people should be worried/ concerned about the poverty because it is the reason of the common humanity. It says that besides the differences between the races, religions, and nations that every person is a part of the single human family. This is a connection for hallmark 2 where is says each person are connected through dignity.

Nuremberd Laws

Nuremberg Laws: the Reich Citizenship Law and the Law for the Protection of German Blood and German Honor. These laws embodied many of the racial theories underpinning Nazi ideology. They would provide the legal framework for the systematic persecution of Jews in Germany. Hitler announced the Nuremberg Laws on September 15, 1935.  Germany’s parliament, then made up entirely of Nazi representatives, passed the laws. Antisemitism was of central importance to the Nazi Party, so Hitler had called parliament into a special session at the annual Nazi Party rally in Nuremberg, Germany.Reich Citizenship Law and many clarifying decrees on its implementation, only people of “German or kindred blood” could be citizens of Germany.
