These labels translate to say Do not buy from Jews. Whilst their exact provenance is unknown, it is likely that these labels were handed out to encourage the boycott of Jewish shops and businesses. An antisemitic image printed in a German newspaper in the early s, reigniting the historic slander of the Blood Libel against the Jews in Hungary.

The poster on the door in this photograph reads Jews not wanted. This type of antisemitic signage was visible all over Germany following the Nazis rise to power. It aimed to exclude Jews from every day life. The Nazi regime was characterised by the brutal oppression and persecution of Jewish people and other minorities. The Nazis aimed to completely exclude Jews and other minorities from everyday life.

Whilst not the primary focus of the Nazi regime its first few years, persecution started from the moment that the Nazis entered power and almost continuously escalated. This section will explore what forms of oppression the Nazis used against the different groups in German society. These measures were just a small part of the Nazi campaign to complete isolate and exclude the Jewish population.

The passport of Dr. Malvine Sara Rhoden, photographed here, shows both of these additions. Rhoden emigrated to the UK just a few months after this law.

The Jews were the most persecuted group of people under the Nazis. Nazi ideology was, at its heart, extremely antisemitic. Between andover four hundred antisemitic laws were enacted. These laws limited every area of Jewish life. One of the first laws enacted was the Law for the Restoration of the Professional Civil Service on the 7 Aprilwhich ordered that Jews were no longer allowed to work for the Civil Service.

This was quickly followed by the Law Against Overcrowding in Schools and Universities on the 25 Aprilwhich limited Jewish students in German schools to a maximum of 1. Just four months later, on 29 Septemberthe Hereditary Farm Law was passed, banning Jews from owning or running farms.

The laws above are just a few examples of the range of persecutory and exclusionary laws that the Nazis passed. The Nuremberg Laws, announced at the Nazi Party annual rally in Nuremberg in latemarked an escalation in the persecution of the Jews. There were two main laws. The Nazis defined anyone with Jewish ancestors as Jews, even if someone who only had one grandparent who had converted from Judaism to Christianity as a child.

This made lots of people who had previously thought not thought of themselves as Jewish, or those who no longer practiced Judaism, potential targets of persecution. For Jews and people of Jewish descent, they were terrifying.
