| Description | One of the typical goals of the Nazis was to carry out forced personal changes in the state machinery, which was supposed to done by legal means and in compliance with law. The persons who were politically or racially undesirable were supposed to leave the key positions in all the spheres of the state machinery – the judiciary included – and they were supposed to be replaced by NSDAP members or supporters of the national socialistic movement. Even before the very first legislative measures that were supposed to regulate the personal changes were passed, Jews who had worked in judiciary and Jewish attorneys had faced all kinds of attacks against them; in some cases they even had to face systematical terror by SA. Since August 7, 1933, the Act on Resurrecting Officials (RGBI I.S. 175) was the legal foundation for forced personal changes within the whole state machinery, which, of course, included judiciary as well. |
