SA, police and crowds during the boycott of Jewish shops, Berlin 1933

SA men stand outside Jewish-owned shops chanting slogans while police officers patrol nearby without intervening and a sizeable crowd gathers on the pavement. The presence of law enforcement makes clear that the boycott of 1 April 1933 was no spontaneous outburst but an action ordered by the NSDAP leadership and tolerated by state authorities. Many onlookers watch in silence while others join the chants; swastika flags and lettering on the windows mark the targeted stores. Economically the one-day boycott had little effect, but it is regarded as the start of the systematic, state-directed exclusion of Jews from German public life.
