Defends the response of the German Jewish leadership to the first Nazi measures against the Jews in 1933 as having been based on concern for immediate Jewish interests. The official Nazi policy towards the Jews had not yet been formulated conservative forces in Germany feared foreign reactions to anti-Jewish violence, whereas Nazi followers demanded strong measures against the Jews. At that time, many German Jews assumed that they would find a way to cooperate with the regime, and they would continue to live in Germany with restricted rights and economic opportunities.
