How the Jews were discriminated against in Germany from 1933 to 1939
Once Hitler came to power, anti-Semitism in Germany gradually increased from 1933 to 1945, starting with mild persecution such as boycotting shops, to full scale genocide. In this essay, I am going to be concentrating on the period of 1933 1939.
When Hitler came to power in 1933, the Jews had entered all levels of German society. They were businessmen, traders, doctors, lawyers, writers, artists, shopkeepers, and many more. The Nazis started to persecute the Jews as soon as they came into power. In April 1933 the SA boycotted all Jewish shops, cafés and businesses. They stood outside and urged people not to go in and beat up anyone who did. They also painted large signs on their windows saying Jude (Jew). Just one week after this initial boycott, Hitler ordered anyone who was not an Aryan or German, to be sacked from government jobs. This included all civil servants, lawyers and all teachers. The press was taken over by the Nazis and ran anti Jewish 'hate campaigns' and this led to the Jews being subjected to organised hate. During 1939, many towns decided to put up banners or placards saying 'Jews not welcome here'. All Jewish actors and musicians were stopped from playing in public.
