This chapter examines the difficulties the Nazis encountered in defining Jewish identity within their discriminatory laws, influenced by a mix of ignorance about genetics and philosophical challenges. It also discusses the impact of American race laws, particularly anti-miscegenation regulations, on Nazi racial policies and the paradoxical moral perspectives of both regimes.
In the early 1930s, a young German law student spent a year in Arkansas, studying American “race law.” The fight over the 1936 Games provided Americans with a chance to study Nazi Germany. But it turns out the Nazis were studying us too.
