Jewish persecution 1

• The persecution of the Jewish community in Germany escalated throughout this period. It began

  with an attack on Jewish businesses and the removal of Jewish people from their jobs.
• One aspect of this early persecution of Jews was a Nazi

  campaign against Jewish shops and businesses.
• On 30 March 1933, the Nazi Party announced that, from

  10 a.m. on 1 April, an official boycott would begin of all

  Jewish businesses, doctors and lawyers.
• SA stormtroopers

  were sent to paint Jewish stars or the word Jude (Jew)

  outside Jewish businesses. They then stood outside with

  banners, discouraging people from going inside.
