Minorities in the German Empire
The Germans are not only among themselves in the Reich. There are national minorities, such as Danes in Schleswig and Poles in the Prussian East. Many new migrant Poles and Masurians are working in the mines and factories of the Ruhr area. They settle in their own districts and mostly stay among themselves. The authority’s eye them with suspicion. After centuries of discrimination, the 500,000 or so Germans of the Jewish faith have finally achieved legal equality. Now they also want to be regarded as equal Germans. Many of their compatriots, however, are anti-Semites and quickly make the Jews into scapegoats, in times of economic crisis, for example.
