#1 The Nazi Party’s Jewish policy was to remove the Jews from Germany, and they did so by boycott, intimidation, and eventually expulsion. The most important stages in this process were the boycott of Jewish businesses in April 1933, the Nuremberg Laws of September 1935, and the pogrom of November 1938.
#2 When Heydrich referred to the authorization Göring had given him on 31 July 1941 in his invitation to the Wannsee Conference, this appointment had a long history. It had been made back in 1936, when Göring had appointed Heydrich as head of a Foreign Exchange Investigation Office so that they could plunder the assets of Jews suspected of having emigrated.
#3 The start of the Second World War led to a new and more radical phase in Jewish policy than the Nazi regime had so far experienced. The German government attempted to set up a Jewish reservation in the Lublin district in the east of the General Government for all Jews under its jurisdiction.
#4 The Madagascar Plan was a proposal to deport all Jews within the German sphere of influence to the island, then under French colonial rule. The plan was linked to the idea that the Jews would act as a sort of bargaining chip to guarantee the Germans the future good behaviour of members of their race in America.

#1

The Nazi Party’s Jewish policy was to remove the Jews from Germany, and they did so by boycott, intimidation, and eventually expulsion. The most important stages in this process were the boycott of Jewish businesses in April 1933, the Nuremberg Laws of September 1935, and the pogrom of November 1938.

#2

When Heydrich referred to the authorization Göring had given him on 31 July 1941 in his invitation to the Wannsee Conference, this appointment had a long history. It had been made back in 1936, when Göring had appointed Heydrich as head of a Foreign Exchange Investigation Office so that they could plunder the assets of Jews suspected of having emigrated.

#3

The start of the Second World War led to a new and more radical phase in Jewish policy than the Nazi regime had so far experienced. The German government attempted to set up a Jewish reservation in the Lublin district in the east of the General Government for all Jews under its jurisdiction.

#4

The Madagascar Plan was a proposal to deport all Jews within the German sphere of influence to the island, then under French colonial rule. The plan was linked to the idea that the Jews would act as a sort of bargaining chip to guarantee the Germans the future good behaviour of members of their race in America.

#5

The conditions had been set for a mass deportation of European Jews after victory over the Soviet Union. In 1941, Himmler had asked Viktor Brack, the organizer of the euthanasia programme, to prepare a plan for the mass sterilization of Jews. But he did not pursue this project further.

#6

The war against the Soviet Union, which began on 22 June 1941, was conceived as a racially motivated war of conquest and annihilation.
