Hitler
March 28, 1933
Hitler orders a one-day nationwide boycott of Jewish merchants, to begin on April 1 and to be enforced by the presence of SS troops outside Jewish-owned stores. WIKI
Decreed and put forth for a vote within his Cabinet that: Establishments transferred to German figureheads by the Jewish proprietors after 28 March 1933 will be considered as Jewish establishments for the duration of the defensive boycott. This would be published under order No. 4 in The Instructions for the Boycott of Jewish Businesses and distributed 3 day later on the 31st of March. HLSNurembergTrialsProject
Joseph Goebbels, a film fan as well as the new German Minister of Propaganda, addressed filmmakers and union representatives at the Kaiserhof Hotel in Berlin, describing his requirements that new films reflect the Nazi state's ideals without compromising the artist's vision. WIKI
