Sign: the yellow benches are for Jews, Berlin 1937

A white gabled signboard with the Berlin bear reads Bürger schont Eure Anlagen. Führt Eure Hunde an der Leine. Beneath it hangs a plain board, seen in close view: Die gelben Bänke sind für Juden i.S.d. Reichsbürgergesetzes zur Benutzung freigegeben, the yellow benches are released for use by Jews as defined by the Reich Citizenship Law. That law, one of the Nuremberg Laws of September 1935, had stripped Jews of their citizenship; the benches were the next step, marking them out in the most ordinary places of daily life.
