Q

HOW successfully were Nazi laws against professional Jewish people implemented in 1933?

They were less successful as it was difficult to enforce (due to there being no scientific/objective definition of who was ‘racially Jewish’). Also, many continued to work (e.g. Jewish doctors kept treating Aryan patients)
