Persecution of Jews in Germany led to the Holocaust. “On March 9, 1933, several weeks after Hitler assumed power, organized attacks on Jews broke out across Germany. [...] Within a few months, democracy was obliterated in Germany, and the country became a centralized, single-party police state.” Hitler became the supreme leader of the Nazi party. This means that many laws were going to be passed that were going to be used to control many aspects of the Jews’ life and exterminate Jews from Germany. The German government issued the Law of Restoration of the Professional Civil Service in 1933. This law banned the Jews from all civil service positions. The Nuremberg Laws were passed in September 1953, which took away the Jews’ citizenship rights
