On this day in 1933, the Nazis prohibited the Jews from owning land. Since Hitler rose to power on January 30, he had slowly been persecuting the Jews by initially producing antisemitic propaganda and then by passing laws to restrict the Jews of Germany. It began with the continued production of Der Sturmer, a weekly antisemitic newspaper that caricatured the Jew through stereotypes such as medieval child-killing and blood-drinking. This existed atop a boycott against all Jewish stores, doctors, and lawyers. When that was not enough, Hitler then passed legislatures that banned Jews from any civil service jobs, including going into fields like law and medicine; the most famous was the Nuremberg Laws, which stripped Jews of their German citizenship. Later, he imposed sanctions and bans on German schools.In mid-September, Hitler created the Reich Chamber of Culture, which oversaw everything in the arts; a law was passed to ban Jews from journalism, art, literature, music, theater, and broadcasting. Hitler decided that still was not sufficient and, therefore, he also banned them from owning land, effectively banning them from another profession: agriculture. This forced all of the Jews who had owned land to sell their land at once and begin renting from the Germans.
