Again, I’d go back to the badges. Ones Jewishness on clear display, under penalty of death, it doesn’t get much more visible than that. I’d be curious what he meant myself. He’s correct persecution in general continued to ramp up, but I can’t see how everyday, public life could have been easier.

Perhaps I'm mistaken and I may be. But if one knows that one is required to wear a badge on penalty of death, the idea is demeaning and insulting, but at least the rule is clear. Wear it or....
The question is, “Were Jews who were wearing the badge subjected to the routine humiliations that were common before Kristallnacht?”
