Quoting from Peter Fritzsche’s Life and Death in the Third Reich, page 140:

In April 1939 new federal legislation withdrew the protection of rent‐control laws from Jews. Now landlords could evict their Jewish tenants if municipalities guaranteed another form of housing.

In order to isolate Jews and free up apartments, local [Fascists] contemplated “Jew houses” and other detention centers. Although most “Jew houses” were not established until the war, officials forced Detmold’s 100 Jews into six Jew houses, on Sachsentrasse 4 and 25, Paulinenstrasse 6 and 10, Hornsche Strasse 33, and Gartenstrasse 6, as early as April 1939.¹¹⁹

Alexander Karn’s Amending the Past: Europe's Holocaust Commissions and the Right to History, page 95:

On May 10, 1939, the Law on Tenancies with Jews legalized the eviction of Jewish tenants by Aryan landlords, but the commission report also notes that 44,000 apartments in Vienna had already been Aryanized prior to that time. Jews who were evicted were reassigned to new and generally inferior quarters, which they typically shared with several other families.

Later, those who had not escaped or emigrated were sent to “holding camps” before their final transit to the east. Aryanization of apartments continued until April 1945, and the commission documented a total of 59,000 expropriations in all.³⁸

1943: The Fascists were extremely unhappy to learn that Jewish prisoners staged a revolt at one of the deadliest Axis death camps: Treblinka, where approximately 900,000 persons perished in fewer than 18 months. Meanwhile, the Axis destroyer Amagiri rammed the Allied Motor Torpedo Boat PT‐109, sinking it.

Capitalism in Decay

Fascism is capitalism in decay. As with anticommunism in general, the ruling class has oversimplified this phenomenon to the point of absurdity and teaches but a small fraction of its history. This is the spot for getting a serious understanding of it (from a more proletarian perspective) and collecting the facts that contemporary anticommunists are unlikely to discuss.

Posts should be relevant to either fascism or neofascism, otherwise they belong in [email protected]. If you are unsure if the subject matter is related to either, share it there instead. Off‐topic posts shall be removed.

No capitalist apologia or other anticommunism. No bigotry, including racism, misogyny, ableism, heterosexism, or xenophobia. Be respectful. This is a safe space where all comrades should feel welcome.

For our purposes, we consider early Shōwa Japan to be capitalism in decay.
