Roland Freisler
In 1933, Gürtner came into conflict with one of his subordinates, Roland Freisler, over the issues of "Rassenschande" (literally: "racial disgrace"), or sexual relationship between an "Aryan" and a "non-Aryan", which Freisler wanted immediately criminalized. Gürtner, in a meeting, pointed out many practical difficulties with Freisler's proposal. This did not, however, stop the passage of the Nuremberg Laws two years later, criminalizing "Rassenschande".
