Answer 1

In what ways we're Jews persecuted during the Nazi Germany?

The following shows how the Nazis treatment of the Jewish people developed during the 1930s.

• Jewish people were removed from public office and professions – civil servants, lawyers and teachers were sacked.

• School lessons were to reflect the view that Jewish people were ‘Untermensch’.

• On 1 April 1933, a boycott of Jewish shops and other businesses took place.

• SA officers actively encouraged Germans to avoid entering Jewish places of work.

• Many Jewish shops were vandalised.
• The Nuremberg Laws were introduced at the Nuremberg Rally on 15 September and removed many Jewish rights.
• Jewish people were denied the right to be German citizens.
• Marriage and relationships between Jewish people and Germans became illegal.
• Jewish people were banned from becoming doctors.
• Jewish people had to carry identity cards which showed a ‘J’ stamp.
• Jewish children were denied education and banned from schools.
• Jewish men had to add ‘Israel to their name, women had to add ‘Sarah’.
• On the night of the 9 November 1938 Jewish homes, businesses and synagogues were attacked throughout Germany and Austria.
• Around 7,500 Jewish shops were damaged or destroyed. 400 synagogues were burned to the ground.
• Almost 100 Jewish people were killed and 30,000 were sent to concentration camps.
• Jewish people were banned from owning businesses.
• The first ghettos (segregated housing within towns, with a controlled entrance and exit) were opened in Eastern Europe to separate Jewish people from ‘ordinary’ citizens.
• On 23 November, 1939, Jewish people were ordered to wear the Star of David emblem on their clothes. This helped identify them more easily.
• The Nazis persecution of the Jewish people meant that many other Germans lived in fear of the Nazis turning on them.  

• This severely reduced the number of people who were willing to openly oppose the Nazis.

Do you think in every country some people are differentiated because of their identity?​

Yes I agree with that in my opinion
