The Nuremberg Laws converted stigmatized group imagery into legal exclusion from the nation.

Evidence

For Germans, the Jew was the eternal other, the stranger, dirty, thieving, morally and physically inferior, not fit to be associated with or to be consid­ ered a member of the Volk but rather a conniving member of an international conspiracy to harm Germans. The Nuremberg Laws of 1935 legally excluded Jews from German society by forbidding marriage and extramarital relation­ ships between Jews and Germans and even the employment of German fe­ males under age 45 in Jewish households. — Leonard S. Newman and Ralph Erber (eds.), Understanding Genocide, 1031

• ADDENDUM: Directly extends ‘Complaints About Immodesty Go Way Back’: sumptuary and marriage law as identity policing, here the employment ban marking intimacy with the outgroup as pollution.
