The government was officially promoting and directing anti-Semitism. The government was trying to stop the boycott of Jewish businesses.

Answer 1

The government was officially promoting and directing anti-Semitism.

Explanation:

Nazi's worked under the National Socialist German Workers' Party, which was ruled by Adolf Hitler. Hitler was anti-Semitic, which meant his followers, which were the Nazi's, were as well. They had a prejudice towards Jewish people and felt like they were superior. The Nazi's would try to boycott Jewish businesses, as seen in this example, as they are trying to stop Germans from buying from Jewish owned stores and businesses.
