FASCISM
ANTI-SEMITISM
Anti-Semitism, or discrimination against Jews and their culture, which was already present in society, was one of the ideological foundations of the Nazi regime.
Among other things, the anti-Semitic laws prohibited mixed marriages of Germans with Jews, excluded Jews from government jobs and removed their German nationality.
Starting in 1939, Jews were required to wear a yellow Star of David on their clothes so they could be identified. It was the start of growing harassment against them, their families and their property.
