Firstly, life changed because of the economic changes beginning in 1933. In April 1933, boycotts on Jewish-owned shops began. Later that month, they were banned from Government jobs and teaching jobs This meant that many Jews lost their jobs in Nazi Germany. As a result, they suffered due to their loss of income and livelihood. The numbers of unemployed Jews may have rose which could due to Hitler’s attempt to decrease the number of German men that were unemployed. As well as being hindered professionally, they could not longer inherit land from September 1933 onwards. The changes in that year, marked the beginning of Nazi persecution of jews. The discouragement of fraternisation with Jews isolated the community. With each new law, discord and distrust would have increased between neighbours. Jews were now more isolated and found it harder to get and keep jobs to support their families while being scapegoated for the loss of the war. Secondly Jewish life was transformed because legal changes. These laws were named the Nuremberg laws.In May 1935 they could not join the army. This may have made it seem as if they were not part of Germany and created distance between other Germans. They lost citizenship in September because of Reich law on citizenship which meant they could no longer vote or have a passport. This would mean that they could not vote for choices that would benefit them, had no say in political matters and would have found it difficult to leave Germany. Another change was the Law for protection of German blood. Meaning that they couldn’t marry Germans. There would be less Jews in future by preventing them reproducing with the ‘racially pure’. May have led to a significant decrease in jewish population in further years. This helped to support the belief that Jews were ‘sub-human’. Finally, life changed in Germany because of violence,violation of privacy and specifically Kristallnacht. In march of 1938 they had to register all possessions and in July they had to carry a ‘J’ (juden). The worst was yet to come, in November of that same year came the ‘Kristallnacht’ or the night of broken glass. 30,000 Jews were arrested, many were beaten. People partook in ransacking jewish owned shops as well as vandalizing and abusing Jews. From November 9th to November 10th, synagogues were burnt down and around 100 Jews were murdered. They were taken to concentration camps and later were gassed. These changes led to Jews being frightened and massacred. The impact of this day changed life for Jews in a terrible way. Many businesses closed down and Nazi regime made Jewish life nearly impossible. They lost lots of money economically. Compensation was confiscated and the night left a mark on the community. A horrific time in history and showed the effects of Nazi regime on Jews. They could no longer live their lives in peace. They were abused, robbed and lives crumbled under the rubble left by Kristallnacht. Naila, Year 9
