Jewish people faced much prejudice in Germany in the early 1930s. The Nazis passed laws that took away Jewish people’s rights and treated them inhumanely. Jews were fired from their jobs and not allowed to vote. They were banned from shops and beaten in the streets. Children like Lore couldn’t go to school or to many public places. This hatred and violence reached its peak on Kristallnacht, when Jews were the target of hateful and violent attacks.
