Social pariah status replaced civic exclusion wherever Jews gained civil rights

Evidence

Where the Nazis were most successful was in the depersonalization of the Jews. The more the Jew was forced out of social life, the more he seemed to fit the stereotypes of a propaganda which intensified, paradoxically, its campaign against ‘Jewry’ the fewer actual Jews there were in Germany itself. Depersonalization increased the already existent widespread indifference of German popular opinion and formed a vital stage between the archaic violence and the rationalized ‘assembly line’ annihilation of the death camps. — Zygmunt Bauman, Modernity and the Holocaust, 531 (#expands, via linked claim)
