  • Systematically banned

  • Turned into public holidays

Answer

In the aftermath of the Nazi's assumption of power, commemorations of Walther Rathenau, a prominent German Jewish industrialist and politician who was assassinated in 1922, were systematically prohibited. This prohibition reflected the Nazi regime's anti-Semitic policies and their efforts to suppress the recognition and remembrance of prominent Jewish figures.
