Jews and Negroes were regarded as impure and unclean races by the Nazi's. Initially they were persecuted under Hitler's regime, throughout the mid / late '30s and in the first couple of years of the war- they were forbidden to hold jobs or to work, had to carry special ID cards, were publicly humiliated, harrassed and beaten up by the Gestapo, had their property confiscated, and all Synagogues were closed or burnt down. Literature, music and works of art by Jews or blacks were destroyed, and many were convicted of spurious offences and imprisoned or sent to work in forced labour camps. From 1942 onwards, the Nazi's began a programme of mass extermination of all people they regarded as inferior, sending them to be killed in the many extermination camps around Germany, Poland and other occupied nations. They were rounded up and put on trains that took them to the death camps, where they were gassed, shot, poisoned, or simply starved or worked to death.
