Nuremberg Laws
and
Kristallnacht
Gleichschaltung (literally "synchronizing") is a Nazi term for the
process by which the Nazi regime successively established a
system of totalitarian control over the individual, and tight
coordination over all aspects of society and commerce.
Another possible translation is "making equal.” The historian
Richard Evans offered "coordination" in his most recent work on
Nazi Germany. One goal of this policy was to eliminate
individualism by forcing everybody to adhere to a specific
doctrine and way of thinking.

Identification of Jews
and others…
The yellow Star of
David was a label Jews
were forced to wear in
Nazi Germany to
identify, shame and
separate them from
other people.
Most countries
controlled by Germany
gradually forced their
Jews to wear a "Jewish
badge."

Sept 1, 1941
As part of the
Nuremberg Laws,
German Jews
ordered to wear
yellow stars.

The branding of Jews with a special sign in Nazi Germany and the
occupied countries was designed to enable them to be distinguished
from the general population, and consequently isolated from it and
degraded in its eyes.
The Jews themselves were required to manufacture the badges and
distribute them.

Reinhard Heydrich recommended that the Jews be forced to wear badges
following the Kristallnacht pogrom in November 1938.
The German government first introduced mandatory badges in Poland in
November 1939. Jews who failed to wear them risked death
On July 26, 1941, the Judenrat
(Jewish Community Council) of
Bialystak announced that
"the authorities have warned that
severe punishment--up to, and
including death by shooting--is in
store for Jews who do not wear the
yellow badge on back and front."

Nearly 200 synagogues were set afire on November 9, 1938, in an officially
orchestrated evening of widespread violence and vandalism of Jewish
property.
In addition to the burning of synagogues, Jewish businesses and shops were
severely vandalized throughout Germany. Josef Goebbels, the propaganda
minister under Adolf Hitler, masterminded this Night of Broken Glass, or
Kristallnacht.
