The Jewish Public Bank was established in the Free City of Danzig in 1923, and operated until 1939. During the second half of the 1930s, the Nazi party became the largest political party in the free city, which was populated by a majority of ethnic Germans; in 1938 the German Nuremberg Laws were enacted, aimed against the city's Jewish population. In September 1939, following the Nazi occupation of Poland, the city was annexed by the Third Reich.
