English: In April 1933, the National Socialists in NSDAP initiated an anti-Jewish/anti-Semitic boycott against Jewish shops and businesses in Germany. This early labeling and harassment of Jewish-owned businesses were stark examples of Nazi Germany's discrimination and persecution of the country's Jewish population and an important step on the way to the later enactment of anti-Semitic laws and ultimately the Holocaust.
  • Nazi propaganda photograph depicting a convoy of trucks with Anti-Jewish activists driving through city streets, likely in Berlin on 28 March 1933.
According to a similar photo in the German National Archive (Bundesarchiv ) the uniformed persons in these pictures are members of the Bismarckjugend ("Bismarck Youth"), the youth wing of the German National People's Party (Deutschnationale Volkspartei, DNVP), a national-conservative and monarchist political party in the Weimar Republic. During the boycott of Jewish businesses, the DNVP collaborated with the fascist NSDAP (Nazi Party), and the Bismarck Youth drove propaganda vehicles through the streets of Berlin on March 28, 1933. According to Bridgeman Images the photo depicts "Peparations for the boycott of Jewish shops on the 1st April 1933 organized by the NSDAP and other right-wing partie" and "members of the Bismarckbund (DNVP) calling on the public to boycott Jewish businesses, Berlin, 28th March 1933".
Youth in paramilitary uniforms are seen standing on the flatbeds of the cars, some of them holding holding large party flags similar to the old Imperial flag preceding the Weimar Republic. The trucks are adorned with board signs/posters bearing the slogan: 'Germans! Buy only from Germans; Germans! Buy German goods.' (German: Deutsche! Kauft nur bei Deutschen; Deutsche! Kauft deutsche Waren) from the campaign against Jewish-owned or operated businessen in Germany.
The press image has been retouched with paint for clarity in print.
It was largely unsuccessful, as the German population continued to use Jewish businesses, but revealed the intent of the Nazis to undermine the viability of Jews in Germany. It was an early governmental action against the Jews of Germany by the new National Socialist government, which culminated in the "Final Solution". It was a state-managed campaign of ever-increasing harassment, arrests, systematic pillaging, forced transfer of ownership to Nazi Party activists (managed by the Chamber of Commerce, Industrie- und Handelskammer), and ultimately murder of Jewish business owners. In Berlin alone, there were 50,000 Jewish-owned businesses.
Already on March 28, the National Socialist Kampfbund for the Commercial Middle Class (Nationalsozialistischer Kampfbund für den gewerblichen Mittelstand), under Adrian von Renteln, had advanced and occupied or sealed off Jewish shops in Kiel, the Ruhr area, and in some cities in Brandenburg. On April 1, 1933, a Saturday, at 10 o'clock - in some places already the evening before - the actual boycott began. Uniformed, sometimes armed SA (Sturmabteilung), HJ (Hitler Youth), and Stahlhelm guards stood outside Jewish shops, medical practices, and law offices all over German cities, preventing potential customers from entering all day long. Signs and posters demanded: 'Germans! Defend yourselves! Don't buy from Jews! - The Jews are our misfortune! - Avoid Jewish doctors! - Don't go to Jewish lawyers!' (Deutsche! Wehrt euch! Kauft nicht bei(m) Juden! – Die Juden sind unser Unglück! – Meidet jüdische Ärzte! – Geht nicht zu jüdischen Rechtsanwälten!) Other uniformed members of the same groups spread these slogans with chants and loudspeaker vans in the streets.
