What This Standard Means
What Students Need to Do
- Students trace how Nazi policies stripped Jewish people of jobs, citizenship, and property. They explain how persecution of Jewish people and other targeted groups escalated to deportation and mass murder during the war.
What Mastery Looks Like
- A student can place 1933 job bans, the 1935 citizenship laws, 1938 property seizures, and wartime deportations in order. They can explain the purpose of each policy using a detail from a source.
Common Misconceptions
- Students may think the Nazis began with killing centers in 1933 or that the 1935 laws only restricted marriage. Some assume every targeted group faced the same laws and outcomes.
How to Assess It
- Exit ticket: Put these in order: loss of citizenship, deportation to killing centers, removal from civil service jobs. Write one purpose for each.

Ways to Teach It
Give pairs four dated policy cards and have them place the 1933 job bans, 1935 citizenship laws, 1938 property seizures, and 1942 deportations on a paper timeline.
Ask students to compare a 1935 citizenship law with 1942 deportations to killing centers and cite one detail showing each policy's purpose.
Hand out shuffled policy cards and goal cards labeled exclusion, theft, and murder; have students match them and explain two matches.
Show your state's voter registration form; have students find the citizenship requirement and explain what the 1935 laws took away.
