So you call the mayor and you say "Um, what's going on?" and the mayor's office says, "No, it's cool. He's Jewish. Don't you remember? We agreed to outlaw his religion. They're taking him to an interrogation center and will probably kill him. If we don't allow these guys to do whatever they want within our borders, they might attack us again."

Now imagine you're also Jewish. Then you'd better stop being Jewish for the time being.

Once the cold war ends, boom everything's back to normal.

The Skyrim civil war in this context is equivalent to the Allied forces bickering among one another because one country accepted a term of surrender or something similar with the Axis that 'Jewish worship is banned'.
