Jewish Codex

A series of laws adopted by the Slovak government in 1941 that gradually made it impossible for Jews to participate in public life in Slovakia by banning large gatherings of Jewish people, curtailing Jewish citizens’ ability to own property, and limiting the ability of Jewish citizens to have bank accounts. The Jewish Codex also required Jews to wear a Jewish badge designating their ethnicity. Most significantly, the Codex also made provisions for the removal of Jews to labor camps and ultimately their deportation to concentration camps in German occupied Poland.
