Brief Entries for History of Jews in Leipzig Page
On the Bruhl, almost ten percent of Leipzig's Jews were a part of the city's fur industry. Through the 1930's, businesses along the Bruhl contributed to one-third of the world's fur trade. However, during World War 2, the removal of Jewish businesses and Allied pushback resulted in the decline of this industry.

In mid-1938, Jews were first banned from using park benches in the Rosental Park. By the end of the year, Jews would be banned from all public parks in the city.

In addition, Jews who could not travel, like the elderly, were forced to live in group homes called Judenhauser. The Nazis wished to avoid the creation of a ghetto but did not want to have a scattered Jewish population throughout the city.

In addition, the Brody Synagogue and the ceremony hall of the Jewish cemetery were also damaged heavily on this night. Along with Jewish places of worship, Jewish businesses like Bamberger and Hertz were damaged during Kristallnacht. Jewish properties not completely destroyed would be 'Aryanized' by the Nazis for the duration of World War Two.
