Persecution of Jews gains steam in 1935 Berlin...
Item # 728397
·
THE NEW YORK TIMES, July 26, 1935
* Persecution of Jews in Germany surging
* Jewish holocaust about to grasp Europe
The top of the front page has a one column heading: "FIGHT ON JEWS BEING RENEWED BY NAZI TROOPS" with subhead. (see images)
Complete with all 30+ pages, light toning and minor wear at the margins, a little irregular along the spine, generally nice.
Background: The summer riots of 1935, particularly the violence on the Kurfürstendamm, were significant because they served as a calculated catalyst for the formal, legal disenfranchisement of Jewish people in Germany. By deliberately inciting mob violence and then pointing to the resulting "unrest," radical Nazi leaders manufactured a crisis that forced the hands of government moderates who wanted to maintain economic stability. The solution to this engineered chaos was the implementation of the Nuremberg Laws in September 1935, which codified antisemitism into state policy. Essentially, the street terror was a testing ground and a pressure tactic that successfully transformed brutal prejudice from rogue mob action into the official, systematic law of the land, laying the critical legal groundwork for the horrors of the Holocaust.
