[3] It was largely unsuccessful, as the German population continued to use Jewish businesses, but revealed the intent of the Nazis to undermine the viability of Jews in Germany.

[4] It was an early governmental action against the Jews of Germany by the new National Socialist government, which culminated in the "Final Solution".

It was a state-managed campaign of ever-increasing harassment, arrests, systematic pillaging, forced transfer of ownership to Nazi Party activists (managed by the Chamber of Commerce), and ultimately murder of Jewish business owners.

In addition, German businesses, particularly large organizations like banks, insurance companies, and industrial firms such as Siemens, increasingly refused to employ Jews.

Following this victory, and partly in response to the foreign Anti-Nazi boycott of 1933,[10] there was widespread violence and hooliganism directed at Jewish businesses and individuals.

On the day of the boycott, the SA stood menacingly in front of Jewish-owned department stores and retail establishments, and the offices of professionals such as doctors and lawyers.

[12] The Star of David was painted in yellow and black across thousands of doors and windows, with accompanying antisemitic slogans.

[14][1] It marked the beginning of a nationwide campaign against the Jews, but due to its negative impact on the German economy it was met with some internal opposition.

[17] In the United States, Nazi supporters such as Father Charles Coughlin agitated for a boycott of Jewish businesses.

Coughlin's radio show attracted tens of millions of listeners and his supporters organized "Buy Christian" campaigns and attacked Jews.

[22] The national boycott operation marked the beginning of a nationwide campaign by the Nazi party against the entire German Jewish population.

After the Invasion of Poland in 1939, the German Nazi occupiers forced Jews into ghettos and completely banned them from public life.
