• The German boycotted
Jewish shops so they
wouldn’t earn any income
to buy food. When the
Jews found this out, they
started to panic and worry
about how they would get
food. In Daniels Story,

boycotted. That was their
only income at the time
and it was impossible for
Jews to get jobs at
companies that were
German owned.
