In the Weimar Republic Demmin was a stronghold of the nationalistic organisations DNVP and the Stahlhelm . Even before 1933 there were boycotts of Jewish businesses , which drove away most of the Jews and the synagogue was sold in June 1938 to a furniture company , which is why it survives as a building today . In the last free national elections to the Reichstag on 5 March 1933 the National Socialist Party won 53.7 percent of votes in Demmin . On 11 November 1938 , thousands gathered in the square in an anti-Semitic demonstration as part of Kristallnacht
