Sure, Nazi Louie. Always leave out the important details about history:Actually, in 1933:the anti-Jewish boycott campaign begun by Adolf Hitler on April 1, 1933
On March 20, 1933, efforts got under way in both Poland and the United States to initiate economic boycotts of Nazi Germany. Within several years, boycott movements had been started by Jewish communities – although they were not limited to them – in a number of countries around the world.
Violence against Germany’s Jews began right after the Reichstag election of March 5, 1933, when a Nazi victory allowed Adolf Hitler, who had become chancellor on January 30, to consolidate his power. Various organs of the National Socialist party undertook to harass Jews across the country – boycotting their businesses, attacking presumed Jews in the streets, even breaking into and searching Jews’ homes.
News of the abuse quickly spread around the world, and Jewish organizations appealed to the new German government to come down hard on those who were doing the attacking. The response of Hermann Goering that, “I shall employ the police, and without mercy, wherever German people are hurt, but I refuse to turn the police into a guard for Jewish stores,” was a typical response, as well a harbinger of things to come.
