After the Kristallnacht ( commonly known as " Night of Broken Glass " ) pogrom of November 9 – 10 , 1938 , Nazi leaders stepped up " Aryanization " efforts and enforced measures that increasingly succeeded in physically isolating and segregating Jews from their fellow Germans . Jews were barred from all public schools and universities as well as from cinemas , theatres and sports facilities . In many cities , Jews were forbidden to enter designated " Aryan " zones . German decrees and ordinances expanded the ban on Jews in professional life . By September 1938 , for instance , Jewish physicians were effectively banned from treating " Aryan " patients
