Abstract:
Traces, first, the radicalization of German antisemitism from the Wilhelmine era to the "Kristallnacht" pogrom. Focusing on the Nazi period, discusses German antisemitism, Hitler’s use of antisemitism as a program after 1933, and the year 1938 as a turning point for German Jews, who lost what was left of their social power along with any hope of a future in the Reich. The intensification of the "Judenpolitik", which peaked with the "Kristallnacht" pogrom, aimed to accelerate Jewish emigration, the appropriation of Jewish wealth, and the exclusion of the Jews from German society. Measures to achieve these goals had been planned prior to Grynszpan’s murder of vom Rath, which only served as a pretext for intensified persecution.
