Nazi Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels incites the crowd in the Berlin Lustgarten to boycott Jewish-owned businesses as a response to the anti-German "atrocity propaganda" being spread abroad by "international Jewry."

Nazis force three Jewish businessmen to march down Bruehl Strasse, one of the main commercial streets in central Leipzig, carrying signs that read: "Don't buy from Jews; Shop in German businesses!"

Nazi storm troopers block the entrance to a Jewish-owned store in Berlin. Their signs read: "Germans, defend yourselves against the Jewish atrocity propaganda, buy only at German shops!" and "Germans, defend yourselves, buy only at German shops!"
