The Jewish community in Germany, the first victim of the Nazi regime, one of the oldest Jewish communities in Europe. And has often been seen to Jews in Germany until 1933 as an example of success in the liberation of the Jews and equality and creative interaction between Jews and non-Jewish environment surrounding them. He said most of the German Jews themselves that they are just as German as any of their Christian neighbors. He was killed about twelve thousand of them on the battlefield during World War I while fighting them for the interests of their state and the dignity of the beloved.
During the early days of the Nazi regime, it was difficult for Jews to accept that one is trying to strip them of their rights and identity of the German and that he could make them outcasts in their own state.
"The German left Germany" - this is what came in the editorial of the newspaper published by the organization, which accounted for the vast majority of the people of the German Jewish community - the Central Union of German citizens of the sons of the Jewish faith. The newspaper said: "No one can taken from us, our country and the land of our fathers." It is the other side of the divisive ideological there were Zionists Germans who were pessimistic more about the ability of cohesion German Jew to survive and it seems that they listen better to the tune of days new. But even those they could not predict the size of the full real threat to the existence of the Jewish Nazi.
The Jews tend to assume that the revolutionary character of the Nazi regime will be exhausted itself after a few months of taking the reins of power and that is so that the Nazis Sevidh will be seen that they are not as dangerous as it seems at first.
To some extent, the Jews were activists of the Communist and socialist movements among the first to become aware of the danger, since they were at risk of persecution double, against the backdrop of political and racist alike.
After the initial shock began the Jewish community in Germany organized structures in response to the new circumstances that have become surrounded by. It was in a relatively early stage, ie, in April 1933 the formation of the Central Committee for the assistance and reconstruction, which has coordinated a wide variety of charitable activities and well-being of the Jewish community of the oppressed. On 17 September 1933 the country was founded Representation of the Jews and the Germans took over the responsibility for all topics for political representation for the Jews.
It was not the children of the Jewish community in Germany were able to exercise any political opposition against the Nazis, and that as a small minority living under the regime of violent and extreme control. The dashed the hopes of Jews that would have been possible to settle the status of Jews in Germany are tolerant through negotiations between the Jewish community on the one hand and the German system on the other. One thing that remained in the wake of the front of the Jewish leadership is to focus on the inner life of the Jewish community. Among the important results of this focus to deepen awareness and strengthen Jewish ties to the internal solidarity of the Jewish persecution under the weight.
The more isolated the Jews Jewish organizations focused on work in the field of social welfare and assistance to the needy. Has established an education system for Jewish children who were deported from German schools and founded the organization "Cultural Union," which is about the Organization of Jewish artists were able to express themselves in their scope.
The solutions to the mid-thirties Jewish organizations have stepped up their focus on the activities of immigration from Germany. The distributed information about the different countries that it is possible to immigration and organized language courses and vocational rehabilitation. And continued this wide range of activities until the period that preceded the massacre in November 1938. After this massacre by the Nazis to impose restrictions on these activities and Jewish organizations were able to continue a much lower scale.
