6) “The yellow star? Oh well, what of it? You don’t die of it.” (Wiesel 20) Little did the Jewish community know, the little star on their shoulder would be the death of over six million Jewish people. The Germans issued decrees, but the Jews kept saying it wasn’t so bad, until it was too late for them to possibly revolt. The Jews were banned from public places/services, and then they were isolated in overpopulated ghettos.
They were told that they couldn’t go to school. They were also told who they could and couldn’t have a relationship with. On November 9, 1938, an even more horrifying persecution of Jews began. Around 30,000 Jews were introduced to concentration camps, although these were temporary. While the Hebrew people were being held prisoner for no apparent reason, their property and religious centers were plundered and destroyed.
Anti-Jewish decrees opened doors to the Nazi regime to dispose of the Jewish people. Both Jews and non-Jews had very limited freedom. Beginning in 1933, the Nazi regime began taking away the rights of the Jewish people. They could no longer own businesses, and were required to give up real property and other person possessions. Soon they were required to wear the Star of David on their clothing to identify their race and were forced out of public schools.

Elie Wiesel has written the novel Night describing the heinous crime of the dehumanization of millions of Jews that the Nazis perpetrated within their concentration camps. An example of dehumanization that Elie Wiesel provides in his novel is the lack of humane worth that the Nazis thought of the Jewish people.When the Hungarian police barged into Sighet, “A Jew no longer had the right to keep in his house gold, jewels, or any objects of value” (Wiesel 10). The Nazis deprived the Jews of any valuables and later they forced them to sit in crowded wagons that had no space to move about in. This proves how the Nazis thought of the Jewish people as too little of humane worth to be able to own any type of valuable that they could call their own. Later on, a German officer tell the Jews, “‘There are eighty of you in this wagon,’ added the German officer.
Journal 1 entry: early 1942 How can they be so blind? Hitler was right about how we Germans should eliminate those filthy Jews. My fellow Nazi leaders and I do not understand why the worlds, besides our allies, are against us. We are not harming any humans, but instead exterminating those who wish to be human.

Piles of corpses, bones, and human ashes were found. Thousands of starving survivors that were and were not Jews were also found (“Aftermath”). Jewish survivors had no desire to return home. The anti-Semitism in the parts of Germany caused many Jews to not want to return home. The ones, who returned home, lived in fear.
The Nuremberg Laws, issued on September 15, 1935, began to exclude Jews from public life. The Nuremberg Laws included a law that stripped German Jews of their citizenship and a law that prohibited marriages and extramarital sex between Jews and Germans. The Nuremberg Laws set the legal precedent for further anti-Jewish legislation. Nazis then issued additional anti-Jews laws over the next several years. For example, some of these laws excluded Jews from places like parks, fired them from civil service jobs, made Jews register their property, and prevented Jewish doctors from working on non- Jewish patients.
