Nazism and race

Nazism is an extreme form of racism. It is the belief that some people are better than others because of their race, like their skin color or the country they come from. Nazi race laws classified people as either 'Aryan' or 'non-Aryan'. Nazis believed that 'Aryans' were a superior race of people and should be given more rights than 'non-Aryans'. Nazis treated 'non-Aryans' very unfairly, taking away their rights, sending them to concentration camps, and even killing them.
