The Beginning

In 1933, Hitler came into power as leader of the NAZI Party in Germany. Nazism, the ideology of the NAZI Party, stood for nationalism, imperialism, anti-communism, militarism, racism, and antisemitism. Through widespread propaganda, many people, not only Germans, became convinced that these ideas were to live for. As a result, Germany saw itself and the true German citizens thereof as an inferior race that could do anything it wanted. There was no God, and therefore no morals, and they quickly took a stand against Jews. Racism was integrated into the hearts of all who followed Nazism, and so by nature they refused to acknowledge Jews as humans with rights equal to theirs. Hitler believed that if the people of Germany were convicted of these ideas, they would be drawn closer together in their loyalty and obedience to his leadership.
