Describe how Jews were discriminated against in Germany from 1933 to 1939.
The discrimination in Germany started when the country had fallen in to depression every one was looking to blame someone and Hitler used the Jews as a scapegoat. In 1935 Hitler introduce some new laws known as the Nuremberg laws.
The discrimination against the Jews started after the third secretary Ernst vom Rath was assassinated in 1938 this gave Goebbels the excuse he need to launch what is now known as Kristallnacht.
By January 1933 the Jewish shops were benign boycotted Nazi thugs would stop German people from going in to the shops. By 1934 all the Jewish shops had the Star of David above the shop or had “Juden” written on the window. An SA officer would also stand out side the shop to make sure no one entered. This economically bankrupt them and destroyed what they had spent many years building. After 1933 some Jewish people were rich enough to leave but not all them had that choice. Hitler also stop the Jews from employing any female German blood under 45 as they were not to be trusted with women. This discrimination also happened in schools and the German students were not put off bullying the Jewish kids. This led to the Jewish kids not wanting to go to school so the Ministry of propaganda started saying that the Jews are lazy and wouldn’t even go to school. Not only were the Jewish kids treated badly by the Germans but teacher openly labelled them.
