Aryanization ( German ''Arisierung'') in Nazism is a term used for the expropriation of Jew s in Nazi Germany , Austria and the territories it controlled. It was based on the ideology of an Aryan Master Race and generally was to the benefit of Nazi supporters and party members. By January 1 , 1938 , Jews were prohibited from operating businesses and trades, and from offering goods and services. In the Autumn of 1938, only 40,000 of the formerly 100,000 Jewish businesses were still in the hands of their original owners. Aryanization was completed with the enactment of a Regulation , the ''Verordnung zur Ausschaltung der Juden aus dem deutschen Wirtschaftsleben'' of November 12 , 1938, through which the remaining businesses were transferred to non-Jewish owners and the proceeds taken by the state. Jewelry , Stocks , Real Property and other valuables had to be sold below market value. Jewish employees were fired, and self-employed people were prohibited from working in their respective professions. Many important businesses were sold and re-sold in the course of the process, some of which (such as the Hertie Department Store ) played an important role during the post-war '' Wirtschaftswunder '' years in West Germany . In a broader sense, the term Aryanization is sometimes used to refer to eviction of Jewish scientists and people engaged in the cultural sector. SEE ALSO |
