"The Numremberg laws completed the disenfranchisements of the Jews of Germany.   The first stage of the National Socialist programme had been achieved.  Hitler himself, in introducing the laws to the Reichstag assembled at Nuremberg, hinted at forthcoming change in anti-Jewish policy.  The Law for the Protection of German Blood and German Honour, he said, was `an attempt to regulate by law a problem that, in the event of repeated failure, would have to be transferred by law to the National Socialist Party for final solution.'" (L S Dawidowicz, The War Against the Jews 1933-45. Harmondsworth: Penugin Books, 1987, p.101)
