The experience of other 'undesirables' other than the Jews
During its first five years, the Nazi government discarded every political opponent, mobilised
the state and economy, arranged battles of hostility, and used various procedures to
remove Jews from German life. Jews were simply one of the objectives of the Nazis in
power. Communists and Jehovah's Witnesses were oppressed, captured, and murdered as
political challengers; gays, racial groups, and disabled people were attacked as racial
inferiors and dangers to the immaculateness of ‘Aryan blood’. The archives in this part show
a part of these systems and follow the rapid disconnection of various gatherings of people
from their German neighbours. Insufficient public resistance to the abuse of certain German
residents allowed the Nazis to constantly increase their attacks on these gatherings.
The reports of this time are generally open in their demeanour of Nazi disgrace for these
gatherings of people. Words have their obvious consequences. Each section through
blacklists, forsaken citizenship, restrictions on work and neighbourhood badgering was
public to everyone. Although savagery was not yet the main strategy, murders of individual
Jews by formalised state authorities took place in the main months after Hitler was
confirmed as Chancellor and were generally publicly accounted for. Subsequently, these
reports from 1933 to 1938 show our view of the idea of mistreatment of Jews and others by
Nazis as they merged their forces in Germany.
