Anti-Jewish Legislation
The more than 2,000 anti-Jewish measures put into effect in Germany under Nazi rule.
When the Nazi Party was formed in 1920, its party platform included four anti- Jewish goals: Jews should not be citizens, and should be given the legal status of foreigners; Jews should not be public officials; Jews should be forbidden to immigrate to Germany; and Jewish owners or editors of German newspapers should be removed from their positions. These declarations were similar to the platforms of other antisemitic groups active at that time.
The Nazis rose to national power in Germany in January 1933. During their rule, which lasted from 1933–1945, three separate groups of anti-Jewish legislation were enacted. The first began in March–April 1933, peaking with the Law for the Restoration of the Professional Civil Service. This law legalized firing "non-Aryan" government employees. It also acted as a precedent for the exclusion of Jews from other jobs. Most "non-Aryan" students were barred from attending German schools and "non-Aryans" were forbidden to take final state exams for many occupations. This last clause was also adopted by private firms, societies, and clubs. Another set of laws discriminated against the Jewish religion. By 1935, Jewish life had been severely restricted in Germany.
The second wave of anti-Jewish legislation began in September 1935, with the passage of two laws by the German parliament, termed the Nuremberg Laws. According to the first law, Jews were stripped of their citizenship and were denied the right to vote. Within a few months 13 additional decrees were attached to this law. The second law, the Law for the Protection of German Blood and German Honor, prohibited marriage and sexual contact between Germans and Jews. This legislation led the Germans to clearly define who was an "Aryan," Jew, or part-Jew (and to what degree; see also Mischlinge). The third group of anti-Jewish laws restricted Jews from the German economy. The Germans began issuing this legislation as early as 1936 and 1937, but timed most severe measures to coincide with the Kristallnacht pogrom of November 1938. The government made it legal to confiscateJewish property through Aryanization. On November 9, 1938 Reinhard Heydrich became the chief of the Central Office for Jewish Emigration (Zentralstelle Fuer Juedische Auswanderung). The creation of this office empowered the SS to make all decisions regarding the Jews and their fate. World War II broke out in September 1939. At that time, the Germans expanded all existing anti-Jewish measures. Later, in September 1941, the Jews were forced to wear the Jewish badge any time they went out in public (see also Badge, Jewish), and by October 23 of that year Jewish emigration from Germany was strictly forbidden. On December 12, 1941 Hitler told a gathering of his intimates that the murder of the Jews, which had begun in the east, would be extended to German Jews as well.
Within the countries that allied themselves with Germany and those that were invaded and occupied by Germany, anti-Jewish laws were enacted to different degrees based on the type of occupation regime established by the Germans, how much pressure Germany put on the country, how antisemitic the country's government was to begin with, or how successfully the country could convince Germany to leave it alone to make its own rules. Racial laws were enacted at lightning speed in Austria, the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia (see also Bohemia and Moravia, Protectorate of), and Poland. In Germany's satellite states or in countries defeated by the German army, Jews were generally excluded from economic activities, and laws were made which defined exactly who was to be considered a Jew. Only in Denmark, where the government did not resist German occupation but insisted on protecting its Jews, were no anti-Jewish measures put into effect, until the attempt to deport the Jews in October 1943.

Refugee Blues
The victims are the refugees
The perpretators are the German soldiers and politicians
The bystanders are German citizens.
Being Jewish led you to be a refugee, and depending on you ideology, you would follow the nazi party and its alinements or continue as a normal citizen obeying what the authorities say.
The largest group were the citizens. The term "The Silent Majority" applies to this gruop of people because despite they were the largest gruop in the society, didn't do nothing to stop de atrocities that were happening or speak against the nazis because of the repression.
There might have been a relationship between citizens and jews, the citizens may have helped the jews with issues as the sorting of supplies and hiding.
The ones the live in mansions, the yew, the consul, the comitee, the speaker of the public meeting, the animals. All these are symbola that represent the bureaucrates.
A refugee is someone who is homeless and has nowhere to go. This not only represent a house, but a space in the society, so even if you have a fisical place for living you still can be a refugee if you are not in the place you really belong.
State Bureaucracies can help refugees by creating laws that gives them work and neccesary thing for living as food and other resources. Also plans of incorporation to the society as citizens giving them the nationality. If there is discriminination toward the refugees from the former citizens of the country, a program against this kind of acts could be made.
In my opinion yes, because no country can leave aside a problem like that that involve human lives, they must react and solve the problem, because no one will solve it without help. It would be violating the human rights too, so the international authorities would leave the country out of organisms as UN. The gobernments are not the only ones that must act to solve the problem of the refugees, the society must also help incorporing them to it, this may be done in schools, sport clubs, art movementes, etc. So te people integrate the country.
