The treatment toward them was already bad but now the Nazis had taken any chance of them making a good living in Germany. The Nazis then announced that Jews were banned from getting degrees and legal qualifications. Thus making them look stupid and people (Nazis) would say they were stupid because they couldn’t get PHD and degrees.
Many Jews thought they could get away from some of the laws if they had children but they were wrong in 1934 they passed a law taking away all allowances and ‘lenient off puts’. Many Jews now had children so they could do extra labour and the main reason they wanted them.
The Nazis were now doing any thing they could to get more followers generally but more mainly to fight the Jews off. The eternal Jews exhibition was opened in Munich. It led more people to abuse Jews and other of there fellow men. This shows how bad the treatment of the Jews had got but thing were about to get worse.
Jews could still make a living from hard labour and getting Aryans to own there businesses while they were getting the money for it and giving the Jews a cut. However in 1938 Nazis passed law making it illegal to do that. This meant that all Jewish shops were marked as ‘Juden’ meaning it was Jewish shop and that if any Aryan went in there it was a disgrace , this lowered business and the Jews were forced to sell there businesses and leave for hard labour.
In late July of 1938 all Jews over 15 were ordered to carry ID cards around and had to show them to officer on demand and if they didn’t do this they would probably be beaten and shot in front of other Jews. This was thought as ‘teaching’ them a lesson to always carry around there ID cards. At this point the treatment towards them was inhuman and most people wouldn’t give a second thought if they had spat on Jew. If a Nazi spat on a Jew, the Jew should be proud of having Aryan spit on them (or so the Nazis said).
In 1938 Nazis introduced a curfew on all Jews, they were not allowed out of the house from 8pm. This law was introduced so that they wouldn’t interfere with Nazis affairs (also know as parties). The Nazis then banned all Jews from owning wireless radios. They did this because at the time England and France had declared war on Germany because of the treatment towards Jews.
The Jews had nothing now. The treatment towards them was inhuman and everything they did was watched either by the SS or the German public who now hated each and everyone of them. The Nazis now did something else, they took away there homes and sent them all to ‘Ghettos’.
They were sent to area with small housing. Most of them had to share a room with more then 10 people. The ghettos were near train station so (and quote) they can reach there final goal which was to make all Jews do forced labour.
This is when the Nazis invaded many countries such as Holland, Belgium, France and Denmark. They did this for both power and to get the Jews from inside. The Jewish population those countries ranged from 2000 to 350,000.
The ghettos were now almost full with the Lodz ghetto holding over 250,000. This was also when the Nazis past there first forced labour law. They ordered all polish Jews from the ages of 14 to 60 to work for nothing and work more then they could.
The Jews had just come to terms with forced labour but when they heard about what happened to the 29,000 Jews killed in Ukraine. The Jews knew that the treatment toward them would get worse, much worse.
The Nazis had chosen the site for the concentration camp that would hold so many Jews. Auschwitz was chosen, a site in Poland, near trains. The Jews were now being transported to concentration camps. They were forced to do hours upon hours of forced labour. They were sometimes forced to make the houses or cabins they lived.
The Nazis know were in trouble, England and France (with some aid of America) were now getting closer to the boarders of Germany. They were planning to kill all Jews, to hide evidence. Hans Frank, Gauleiter of Poland, states - "Gentlemen, I must ask you to rid yourselves of all feeling of pity. We must annihilate the Jews wherever we find them”. All the concentration camps were now killing all Jews. They used Zyklon B to gas them. SS Einsatzgruppe reports a tally of 229,052 Jews killed.
At this point all the Jews in Paris and Slovakia were being sent to Auschwitz. All the ghettos in Ukraine and other Nazi ruled countries were emptied. The Jews were now killing Jews more and more frequently. The soviets were now entering the east of Germany and liberating some of the concentration camps. By this time the Nazi had emptied Auschwitz. The Nazis had lost the war but won a whole bunch of battles against the Jews.
To conclude, the treatment of the Jews between 1933 and 1945 changed rapidly. They faced many issues such as : home be taken away , being sent to crowded ghettos , being made to work at concentration camps and finally the one that is a sin in itself , the killing of over 6 million Jews. There treatment went from being the ones that you would occasionally glare at to ones you would kill in front of your children. The Jews were treated in the most inhuman ways. They were victims of propaganda and censorship and a wicked party – Nazis. The treatment towards them was liveable in the 1933 and was then changed to a disgrace by 1945.

This picture shows that Nazis made up lies how the Jews wanted to take over the world. The Nazis had control of media, this could have been on every wall, every news paper and shown to children at every school, in a matter of days.
