The wind that shake Europe in 1939, the first campaigns

The fist campaign was about the Jews: The Nazi newspaper began agitating a boycott of Jewish businesses and anti-Jewish boycotts became regular in the year 1920. In that year, the German parties began to be closed to Jews.

In the Christmas of 1932, the office of the Nazi party organized a new boycott. A lot of businesses, like the firm “Siemens” refused to employ Jews. The same occurred in banks and restaurants. This happened in Europe, but in Germany was extremely.

In the year 1933, the Nazis won a lot of seats in the German parliament.

There was widespread international horror at the persecution of the Jews.

Another boycott against the Jews, were that the Jewish-owned department stores or establishments or offices of doctors were painted with the star of David in yellow.

This boycott was ignored by a lot of Germans who continued shopping in the Jewish establishments.

All these boycotts marked the beginning of a campaign by the Nazi party against the German Jewish population.

There was a law, who cant permit the Jews who were teachers or judges work.
