The Nazi Regime

In January of 1933, Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party rose to power in Germany. Hitler moved quickly to transform Germany into a one-party dictatorship. The Nazis campaign called for unifying all Germans, and they began to saturate the country with their propaganda. They restricted opposition and used their powers to attack, kill, and arrest their opposers. By July 14, 1933, the Nazis had abolished all other political parties, and they began to take control of all aspects of German life.

The Nazi’s promoted a belief that the world was divided into distinct races and supported the belief that their “Aryan” race was superior. “Aryans” were believed to be in a struggle with other races, with Jews being portrayed as the most inferior and dangerous race to “Aryans”. The Nazi’s blamed Germany’s social, political, and economic problems on Jews. Anger over these crises created a growing antisemitism in the country, which fueled The Nazis Persecution of Jews. The Nazis control of the government allowed them to target and prevent Jews from participating in German Society. The Nazi Regime enacted discriminatory laws to target Jews..

The Nazi’s persecution of Jews didn’t stay within Germany; in 1938-1939 the Nazis began territorial expansion through their annexation of Austria, Sudetenland, and Czech lands. In 1939, the Nazi’s invaded WWII by invading Poland. This wartime territorial expansion would bring millions more jews under Nazi control.



The Jew always lives from the blood of other peoples, he needs such murders and such sacrifices. The victory will be only entirely and finally achieved when the whole world is free of Jews.
