term

The term itself is older. As early as 1922, Alfred Roth , an anti-Semitic agitator in Hamburg, published the Jewish pillory. In the 1920s, for example, Stefan Zweig was named in the Jewish pillory.

time of the nationalsocialism

In 1935 Walter Schmidt , Mayor of Chemnitz and at the same time SA-Obergruppenführer , introduced the Jewish pillory during the Nazi era . His idea was praised in high circles of the Nazi leadership and should also be used in other cities. However, the Gau managing director expressed criticism of this approach:

“We (the Nazis ) don't want to break up the department stores for the day. The guide will determine the time. "

Under the leadership of the mayor, up to 1,800 informers were recruited into companies and public offices.

A Jewish pillory was also set up in other places, such as Talheim in the Heilbronn district. The Jewish pillory was partly published in magazines. In 1935, for example, there were corresponding sections in a regional newspaper in Ingolstadt . Newspapers in Hessen also took part in these measures. There was something similar in Linz before 1938 .
