Abstract:
Deals with the process of impoverishment of the Jewish population in Germany, caused by discrimination in the government's welfare policies after 1933. In the first stage, the exclusion of Jews from academic professions led to the emigration of physicians, lawyers, artists, and civil servants. In 1936 more than 37,000 German Jews were unemployed. Examines the gradual limitation of public welfare for indigent Jews. Points out that, in the beginning, the exclusion of the Jewish population from welfare contradicted Nazi interests, because the dire poverty of the Jews would prevent their emigration. But as the implementation of the Final Solution progressed, this consideration was no longer relevant.
