One point that deserves emphasis here is the diversity of Jewish business interests. While there were sectors in which Berlin’s Jewish population had a particularly strong presence, such as textiles, we also must recognize how well-integrated Jews were throughout the economy in the capital. It is also apparent that experiences varied. In some sectors, such as pharmacies and restaurants, the vast majority of the Jews were pushed out within five years. In others, such as textiles and jewelry, Jewish-owned businesses were able to hold on somewhat more successfully. The reasons for decline were chiefly emigration, forced bankruptcy or sale, owing to the antisemitic legislation and climate of harassment and boycotts that made it increasingly difficult, if not impossible, for Jewish businesspeople to maintain their shops, studios, and companies. It is worth considering what conditions might have made some sectors more vulnerable and others more resilient to theft and closure.
