Although the passage is not being included, we can assume that the word "placidly" in this excerpt means that an action is being carried out in a relaxed, pleasurable and enjoyable way.

Whenever we do not know the meaning of a word, and we do not have a dictionary at hand, the best strategy to follow is to look at context. This will usually give us a hint or a clue as to the meaning of the word. It can also show us how the word is normally employed.

What are the Nuremberg racial laws
Lunna [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

At the annual party rally held in Nuremberg in 1935, the Nazis announced new laws which institutionalized many of the racial theories prevalent in Nazi ideology. The laws excluded German Jews from Reich citizenship and prohibited them from marrying or having sexual relations with persons of "German or related blood." Ancillary ordinances to the laws disenfranchised Jews and deprived them of most political rights.

The Nuremberg Laws, as they became known, did not define a "Jew" as someone with particular religious beliefs. Instead, anyone who had three or four Jewish grandparents was defined as a Jew, regardless of whether that individual identified himself or herself as a Jew or belonged to the Jewish religious community. Many Germans who had not practiced Judaism for years found themselves caught in the grip of Nazi terror. Even people with Jewish grandparents who had converted to Christianity were defined as Jews.
