How were Jews discriminated against between 1933 & 1939?
Discrimination is an unfair treatment of a person or group on the basis of prejudice. This is what took place in Germany during Hitler's power, against the Jews. The Jewish community counted for only 1% of the German population. Hitler came to power in 1933; this was a very important event because Hitler was a violent anti-Semite meaning he hated Jews. In the next few years between 1933 -1939 a number of discriminatory events were taken against the Jews.
For years before Adolph Hitler became of Germany, he was obsessed with ideas about race. In his speeches and writings, Hitler spread his beliefs in racial purity and in the superiority of the Germanic race what he called an "master race. When Hitler and the came to power, these beliefs became the government ideology and were spread in publicly displayed posters and in newspapers. Hitler and other Nazi leaders viewed the Jews not as a religious group, but as a poisonous race, which lived off the other races and weakened them.
