Berlin – German photograph of a bench with the inscription ‘Not for Jews’

This photo from Berlin shows a park bench with the inscription “Nicht für Juden” (“Not for Jews”), a visible symbol of the antisemitic laws and measures of Nazi Germany.
From 1933 onward, Jews were gradually excluded from public life, and after 1935 the Nuremberg Laws banned them from many public places.
Such signs served not only as a practical prohibition but also as propaganda to normalize discrimination and humiliate Jews.
