MUNICH (JTA) — Germany this week is abolishing a pricing law introduced by the Nazis to protect small shopkeepers against larger Jewish-run stores.

Under the Discount Law, passed in 1933, retailers could not offer price cuts other than in set winter and summer sales periods, and had to limit discounts to 3 percent.

The law's abolition is expected to help German stores compete with online retailers from around the world.
