Page "Joseph Goebbels" Paragraph 3

From the beginning of his tenure, Goebbels organized attacks on German Jews, commencing with the one-day boycott of Jewish businessmen, doctors, and lawyers on April 1, 1933.

His attacks on the Jewish population culminated in the Kristallnacht assault of 1938, an open and unrestrained pogrom unleashed by the Nazis all across Germany, in which scores of synagogues were burned and hundreds of Jews were assaulted and murdered.

Further, he produced a series of anti-Semitic films ( most notably Jud Süß ).

Goebbels used modern propaganda techniques to ideologically prepare the German people for aggressive warfare.
