Following his seizure of power over Germany in 1933, Hitler created a Reich  Ministry of Public Enlightenment and Propaganda, which was headed by Joseph Goebbels. The goal of this Ministry was to spread the Nazi message through music, theater, books, movies, radio, educational materials, and the press.

By the spring of 1945, German leadership was dissolving, with Hitler’s “partners in crime” both seeking to distance themselves from him and take power. In his will, written in a German bunker on April 29, Hitler blamed the war on “International Jewry and its helpers” and urged the German people and leaders to “follow the strict observance of the racial laws and with merciless resistance against the universal poisoners of all peoples”–the Jews. The next day, he committed suicide, and Germany’s formal surrender in World War II came just barely a week later, on May 8, 1945.

The Holocaust very negatively affected literature. Under the rule of the Nazis, all "anti-German" books were burned. This included all American or Jewish books. It is estimated that 25,000 volumes of books were burned.

The Gestapo was Germany's feared secret police force. The job of the Gestapo was to hunt down the people who posed a threat to Nazi Germany. The Gestapo was led by Heinrich Müller, and acted outside the country's judicial system. It had its own courts, judge, jury, and the frequently used executioner.

The Holocaust was a genocide of 6 million European Jews during WWII. The Holocaust took place during the years of 1933-1945. These killings were organized by Adolf Hitler, leader of the German Nazis. There were millions of other deaths of people who were not Jewish. They included disabled people, homosexuals, Jehovah's Witnesses, and civilians from the Soviet Union, just to name a few. The reasoning behind these senseless killings had to do with Hitler's beliefs in eugenics, or the belief that a superior race could be created if the "bad genes" were "weeded out".

A concentration camp is a labor camp where people are detained under harsh conditions and disregard to legal norms of arrest. People kept here had no rights, and were treated very harshly. These facilities were called “concentration camps” because the people that were imprisoned there were physically “concentrated” in one location. People confined to these camps were forced to do hard labor, and many died. Some of the more major concentration camps include:
-Auschwitz/Birkenau
-Belzec
-Bergen/Belsen
-Buchenwald
-Chelmno
-Dachau
-Dora-Mittelbau
-Flossenburg
-Gross-Rosen
-Janowska

Adolf Hitler was the leader of the German Nazis during WWII. Hitler was born on April 20th, 1889 and died by suicide on April 30th of 1945. Adolf Hitler was the dictator/leader of Nazi Germany from 1934 to 1945. His fascist policies led to the deaths of at least 11 million people, an estimated 6 million Jews, and led to WWII. One of his reasons for these killings was his goal to create a supreme human race, which I have elaborated on in my other tab "About the Holocaust".
