AI notes: On February 23, 1939, the Nazi regime in Germany escalated its systematic persecution of Jewish citizens by issuing an order that required Jews to surrender all their valuables. This decree was part of the broader economic and social oppression imposed on Jews under the Nuremberg Laws and other anti-Semitic policies. Jews were forced to turn in items such as gold, jewelry, and other assets to the state, often receiving little or no compensation. This expropriation not only aimed to impoverish Jewish families but also to fund the growing machinery of the Nazi state and its preparations for war. These measures were precursors to the even harsher confiscations and deportations that would follow in the coming years as part of the Holocaust.
