Race and Public Policy of Hitler
By the beginning of 1939, the gradual and mounting campaign against the Jews was prepared for the achievement of its ultimate violent ends. The German people had been indoctrinated, and the seeds of hatred had been sown. The German state was armed and prepared for conquest and to carry out the wishes of Adolf Hitler. The force of world opinion could now safely be ignored. Already the nazi conspirators had forced out of Germany 200,000 of its former 500,000 Jews. The Nazi-controlled German state was therefore emoldened, and Hitler in anticipation of the aggressive wars already planned cast about for a provocation. The first step in accomplishing the purpose of the Nazi Party and the Nazi-dominated state, to eliminate the Jew, was to require a complete registration of all Jews. For the people of Germany to empathize and side with the leadership's public policy, a clear definition of Jew needed to be identified. The Jew needed to be more than a religious group to the leadership and the people. Public indoctrination with Nazi propoganda was an essential component of the "solution" for the Jews.

Nazi leadership saw their Jewish victims as infiltrating the German state, creating a general danger of "inner Judaization" and "racial pollution". They were perceived as a fundamental threat to German biological and biosocial continuity and immortality. This biological argument was used to invoke the authority of science to denigrate the Jews. The German coining of the term "anti-Semitism" in 1879 was in fact a claim to a scientific position of the necessity of excluding Jews from the threatened German community. Jews were considered to be biological carriers of the most threatening diseases, such as the Plague. eople against Jews. This public policy shaped public opinion of racism, and thereby led to the further indoctrination of the Nazi agenda in the German people, paving the way for further measures against the Jews. During the first years of antisemetic law making, the germans placed measures along side seamingly logically needed laws. For example, on April 25th, 1933 the "Law against Overcrowding of German Schools and Universities" was instituted. On the surface this law seems to be in the best interest of the German peeopl and naturally would have the support of the Geramn people. However, beneath the surface lies the true antisemetic motivations. Those to be expelled from the german schools could only be of Jewish blood line. No Aryan was to be denied the right to an education. As time went on, the measures grew in their restrictiveness. In 1939, Jews w
