First Nazi Concentration camp
A small village located in Munich called Dachau, is where the first Nazi Concentration camp is located. It's original purpose was to hold communists, social democrats, trade unionists, and other political opponents of Nazi Germany. Later other groups such as Jehovah's Witness's, Gypsies, and Jewish were put into the camps. The first commander of Dachau concentration camp is Theodor Eickle. It's interesting because the first camps were for political standing not the Jewish -
Anti Jewish laws
During a party in Nuremberg Germany the Nazis announced laws that went against anyone Jewish. They stated that the Jewish no longer had German citizenship. Also they said that no one Jewish could marry anyone of German blood, and they were not permitted to fly the German flag. These laws were called the Nuremberg laws.
I chose this event because it is the beginning of Jewish discrimination in Germany. -
Jewish doctors and lawyers
After the Nuremberg laws were enacted, Jewish doctors were no longer allowed to practice in their field of work. They were prohibited from German medical institutes. During this time Jewish lawyers were also no longer allowed to do law.
This event shows the Jewish being further discriminated and I think it is a very interesting fact that the Nazis didn't want the Jewish doctors or lawyers to do their jobs anymore. -
Jewish property and assets
It became Mandatory for the Jewish to register their property to the German Reich. Their assets were also forced to be registered. It also became mandatory for them to give up their jewelry, clothing, and other personal possessions.
This point in time was chosen by me because it is when most of the Jewish people were being taken to concentration camps. -
Anti Jewish riots
In Romania many riots against the Jewish happened. This caused many of the Jewish to be butchered. a total of 380,000 - 400,000 were harmed or killed. these huge massacres lasted more than just one day but hey began on the 21st of January and most stopped on the 26th.
the Anti Jewish riots are fascinating because they show that not only Germany was terrible towards the Jewish. -
