Hitler rose to power in Germany in the thirties. In Germany, for years, there was rising antisemitism and increasing government sanctioned discrimination. The Nuremberg Laws were passed around 1935. At their most basic, they made it illegal for Jews to marry non-Jews, prevented them from being considered German citizens, and stripped them of their civil rights. Non-Jews stopped associated with most German Jews, stopped going to Jewish business, started distancing themselves. It became a steady escalation—by the time the war started, Jews were being sent to concentration camps and killed or massively displaced. It started in Germany, then spread to German occupied territories.
