One of the
laws promulgated after Kristallnacht concerned the expulsion of
Jewish pupils from the general education system, even where special
classes for Jews existed. Even before the official ban, many
children had switched from public schools to Jewish schools because
of the anti-Jewish climate and harassment on the part of non-Jewish
teachers and students. On November 15, 1938, youngsters defined as
Jewish were totally banned from general schools. The 10th regulation
to the Nuremberg Laws, dated July 4, 1939, handed responsibility for
the education of Jewish children to the newly constituted Reichsvereinigung.
Jewish schools continued to exist until the summer of 1941, when
schooling of Jewish children was outlawed totally, even in the form
of tutoring by volunteers. |
