Did Nazi policy towards the Jews change between 1933-1939?

         

          The first signs that the Hitler showed which suggested he didn’t like Jewish people was in early 1933 where he told the German people that anyone who bought from a Jew was a no good German. In the early 1930’s the Nazis policy towards Jews was not awful it was mainly against the fact that they didn’t want the Jews to be classified as normal German people by forcing them out of work in shops and civil services.

The Nuremberg laws were the first sign of change in Nazis policy towards Jews in that they didn’t want the Jews almost infecting their superior race by the Jews having sex or getting married to an Aryan. Another law, which suggested the Nazis, didn’t want to allow the Jews any rights such as the right to vote this gradually was to wear down the Jews pride and patience.

Organised persecution of Jews wasn’t as serious until the 9th of November 1938 when “Kristallnacht” occurred this was the first major pogrom of the Jews where all the shops owned by the Jews had there windows smashed ...
