Abstract:
Discusses the situation of Hesse's Jews and their relations with their German neighbors before the Nazi ascent to power; these relations in the first years of the Nazi regime and in 1936-38; the attitudes of the general population, the local authorities, and the Churches, both Protestant and Catholic, to the Jews; and Jewish reactions to Nazism. Shows that while in 1933-35 the situation of the Jews depended on the locality, in 1936-38 it not only deteriorated, but became uniformly bad; that rural Jews suffered from official and popular antisemitism more than Jews in the large cities; and that emigration was more difficult for them. The main direction of migration for these Jews was to the cities. Surmises that the Nazis favored the concentration of the Jews in large cities.
