The thing is, most Jews were actually relieved after the passing of the Nuremberg Laws.

“Ok so, that’s the worst they can do to us.” It really wasn’t much of a change from the way things generally were in Europe throughout history. Jews were always discriminated against in such a manner. Ironically, Germany was probably more tolerant of Jews than any other European country before the Nazis took over.

And in fact, for a few years, things did calm down a bit, and probably at the time most Nazis were satisfied with the current policies. For others though, it wasn’t enough, Goebbels and Himmler especially wanted to turn the screws even more, and they needed a pretense to do it. Then the opportunity came when a low-level Nazi diplomat was shot and killed in Paris, and resulted in Krystallnacht.

From that point on, it was all downhill.
