The Nazi boycott of Jewish companies in Germany started on April 1, 1933 and was said to be a response to the anti-Nazi boycott, which was initiated by Jewish organizations in March 1933. The anti-Nazi boycott included Jewish bakeries, grocery stores, jewelry makers, kosher butchers and many other businesses.
There is much debate as to who was really behind the German boycott and when it was taken over, although most historians agree that the National Socialist German Workers’ Party (Nazis) was behind the boycott. The Nazis were trying to get Jews to emigrate to Israel, with the intention of creating an independent Jewish state in Israel, while they wanted to kill all Jews living in Europe. According to historians, the boycott was actually a warning to European Jews, that if they did not leave Germany, they would be forced out of their homes.
The anti-Nazi boycott actually helped the Jewish population in Europe to fight back against the Nazis. The boycott, according to historians, forced the Nazis to cancel their anti-Semitism and change their policies towards the Jews. As a result of the boycott, Jews began to feel more safe in Germany, which allowed them to start over again in another country. The Jews who had managed to escape the Holocaust began the process of rebuilding the lives they lost.
The boycott was also a very important milestone in the development of Jewish Businesses in Germany because it allowed these businesses to make their mark on society and to create a strong identity. Many of the Jewish entrepreneurs who had survived the Holocaust went on to establish other successful Jewish businesses in the city, which helped to support the community.
Although the boycott may have failed in one way or another, many people agree that it was indeed a turning point for the Jewish community in Germany. Some argue that without the boycott, Jews may have left Germany earlier than they did, thus, making the Holocaust even harder to comprehend. Despite the failures, the boycott has given the Jews a new sense of pride and identity.
Today, there are many Jewish business owners and businesses that are doing well in different parts of Germany and around the world. There is a high level of support for the Jewish community as well as the Jewish Diaspora. Many of the Jewish business people who were able to successfully stay in business started new businesses because of their successes, and because they started new Jewish businesses in a new country and didn’t have to leave their old jobs behind.
