SA daubs Jewish shops during the boycott, Berlin 1933

SA men paint the words “Jude” and a Star of David across the windows of Jewish-owned shops, put up posters and march through central Berlin carrying swastika flags while passers-by stop to watch. The boycott of 1 April 1933 was the first nationwide, state-organized antisemitic action after the Nazi seizure of power, publicly announced by Joseph Goebbels the day before. SA guards were posted to keep customers from entering “Jewish” stores, though many Berliners ignored the calls or shopped there deliberately. Facing poor participation and international outcry, the authorities called off the action after a single day, yet it stood as an ominous sign of the persecution that followed.
