Antisemitic Sign – "Jews Will Not Be Served Here"
Juden werden hier nicht bedient! [Jews Will Not Be Served Here]. Antisemitic sign, to be hung on shopfronts and in shop windows. Printed on heavy paper. [1930s or early 1940s]. German.
Nazi anti-Jewish policy initially intended to encourage Jews to emigrate from Germany by excluding them from participation in economic life, among other measures taken against them. The "purge" of Aryan economy from Jews was perceived as a high-priority ideological goal, and the leadership of the Nazi party encouraged Aryan businesses to boycott Jewish customers. Under these circumstances, a great number of signs similar to the present one, were hung on shopfronts and in shop windows throughout Germany.
