What we found

Supports. Yad Vashem's biographical entry states that in 1935 Globke helped write the draft of the first two Nuremberg Laws.[2]

Supports. The Anne Frank House timeline states that in 1935 Globke was involved in drafting the Nuremberg Racial Laws.[3]

Supports. The Times of London, as reported by Times of Israel, says Globke was centrally involved in the interpretation and implementation of the Nuremberg race laws and wrote a 1936 commentary on them.[4]

Supports. DW reports Globke was involved in the preparation of the Nuremberg race laws, and a CIA reading-room document quotes a Nazi ministry official saying he played an outstanding part in drafting them.[1][5]

Context. Wikipedia describes Globke's 1936 legal annotation on the Nuremberg Race Laws, which did not object to anti-Jewish discrimination; the sourcing there is lower credibility.[6]
