History

Historical Context

In 1933, the Nazi regime initiated a campaign of antisemitic propaganda, including boycotts against over 80,000 Jewish-owned businesses, which incited violence and discrimination. This marked the beginning of systemic persecution that would escalate into the Holocaust. The recent removal of a map identifying Jewish-linked businesses in Catalonia reflects ongoing antisemitism, underscoring the need for vigilance against hate-driven initiatives today.
