discrimination of jews in germany

All the laws that were passed helped make sure that there was a clear divide between jews and non-jews. The laws helped convince people that jews werent as good as other people. Ridiculous lies about jews were qickly spread and propaganda helped to brainwash people into hating jews. Anti jew posters where everywhere and many storied were widly believed. schools even strated to teach children the diffrences between jews and non-jews and convinced people that jews were not only not as good as other people, but they even started to make out that jews were evil, with storied of jews eating children everwhere people began to hate jews even more.

In 1936 Germany hosted the olympic games and since Germany was not yet ready for war they were very careful about avoiding bad international publicity so Hitler had to reduce the law of anti-semitic activity so many jews took this opportunity to leave Germany and flee to places nearby such as poland. Soon after this in 1938 all jews had there passport stamped with a red J that prevented them from leaving Gourmany. Many of the jews who had left Germany jouring the olympics never realy excaped anyway because soon Germany would invade Poland, Holland and Austria and these were where most of the jews who left went to.

Things got dramaticly worse for jews in 1938 following the shooting of an official working for the German embassy in paris, a polish jew shot and killed Ernst von rath in protest of how his parents had been treated in poland. Rath's murder was used as an excuse to discriminate against jews even more. His death was also one of the main causes of Kristallnacht or "the night of broken glass". On this night many jews were raped and murdered, synagoges were burned to the ground, and there were many violent attacks on jews and there belongings. Jews were then expected to pay for all the damage caused and clear the streets of things such as glass from there own brocken windows themselfes. Around 20,000 jews were counted up and sent to concentration camps.

By 1939 jews were no longer citizens and so could not vote. things had got so bad that there were constantly random acts of violence against jews on the streets. It was the Nazis that started these random attacks but they were told not to wear there uniforms so that people would think that ordinary people were attacking the jews not just the Nazis and so would feel pressured in to joining in to make sure that they werent victimised themselfs. There were areas in parks and other public places that jews werent allowed to go and eventualy jews were banned from attending German schools and would have to attend jewish schools instead, this was to make jews feel even more isolated and to make other Germany even more reluctant to mix with jews.

Between 1933 and 1939 the Nazis had made it so bad for jews that they began to flee the country. What started as some minor discrimination such as discouraging people to go into jews shops soon turned into terrible acts of violence including murder and rape of jews. The discrimination against jews got rapidly worse and they were hoping to force all jews into fleeing the country. By 1939 the Nazis has begun to form the basis of a non-jewish society in which a master race could live. They discriminated against jews in many diffrent ways, but the aim of all the discrimination was the same,to make the jews feel isolated and to make others turn against the jews.
