It is as if the government were determined to finally shed all of its oppressive secrets.
It's an enormous confession. The discussion revolves around an entire generation of civil servants, all "public employees," according to the German government's most recent report to the Left Party, "who were at least 17 at the time of the collapse of the Nazi dictatorship, and no more than 70 at the time of constitution of the Federal Republic of Germany.

It isn't just since the 1968 student revolts that critical citizens, intellectuals and the media have broadcast new details on the contemporary relevance of Germany's dark past. For years, the notion that partisans of the Nazi regimes were able to manipulate their way into the top levels of government in the young federal republic, and that former Nazi Party members set the tone in a country governed by the postwar constitution in the 1950s and 60s has been a subject for historians.

The Nazis capitalized on the situation by criticizing the ruling government and began to win elections. In the July 1932 elections, they captured 230 out of 608 seats in the “Reichstag,” or German parliament. In January 1933, Hitler was appointed German chancellor and his Nazi government soon came to control every aspect of German life.]]> 2018-05-09 00:46:49 UTC https://padlet.com/16sarchettt/mwq9wogltba7/wish/259122051 SYSTEMATIC MURDER OF EUROPEAN JEWS 16sarchettt https://padlet.com/16sarchettt/mwq9wogltba7/wish/259122160 When Hitler and the Nazis came to power in 1933, they instituted a series of measures aimed at persecuting Germany’s Jewish citizens. By late 1938, Jews were banned from most public places in Germany. During the war, the Nazis’ anti-Jewish campaigns increased in scale and ferocity. In the invasion and occupation of Poland, German troops shot thousands of Polish Jews, confined many to ghettoes where they starved to death and began sending others to death camps in various parts of Poland, where they were either killed immediately or forced into slave labor. In 1941, when Germany invaded the Soviet Union, Nazi death squads machine-gunned tens of thousands of Jews in the western regions of Soviet Russia.]]> 2018-05-09 00:47:25 UTC https://padlet.com/16sarchettt/mwq9wogltba7/wish/259122160 The Nazi rise to power 16sarchettt https://padlet.com/16sarchettt/mwq9wogltba7/wish/259123278 in the aftermath of World War I, Germany remained in turmoil throughout the 1920s, providing an ideal setting for the rise of extremist ideologies and firebrand political leaders. To Germans burdened by reparations payments to war victors, and threatened by hyperinflation, political chaos, and a possible Communist takeover, Adolf Hitler offered scapegoats and solutions.
Germans were provided with an easy explanation to all their problems: Jews and democracy. It was the “International Jewry” that had been responsible for Germany’s defeat in World War I and the humiliating peace treaty. Democracy, i.e. the elected officials of the Weimar Republic, was responsible for the economic depression of the early 1930s. The Nazis cleverly played on the “political paranoia” of the middle class.
Following the meteoric rise of the Nazi Party, Hitler was appointed as chancellor of Germany on January 30, 1933. At the time, the other political parties were unhappy about letting Hitler, the leader of a paramilitary fascist party, become head of the government. But  some powerful figures in the German ruling establishment were of the opinion that Hitler could be controlled and effectively used against the communists, if he was made a responsible head of government.]]> 2018-05-09 00:54:12 UTC https://padlet.com/16sarchettt/mwq9wogltba7/wish/259123278 The Nazis and anti-Semitism 16sarchettt https://padlet.com/16sarchettt/mwq9wogltba7/wish/259123652 Immediately after the Reichtag elections on 5 March 1933, which marked the real beginning to Hitler’s and the Nazis’ takeover of Germany, Nazi organisations began to unleash their anger against the Jews. Jews were molested, some even killed, and Jewish businesses were harassed or destroyed.

The first anti-Semitic initiative was the boycott of Jewish stores in April 1933. This was followed by a wave of anti-Semitic laws and decrees. More than 2,000 racist laws and decrees were issued between 1933 and 1945.

The Nazis did not exclusively view the Jews as a religious community, but rather as belonging to the ‘Semitic race’ that tried to gain power at the expense of the Aryan race. The position of the Jews at the centre of both political and economic affairs was perfect for theories of political conspiracy. It was relatively easy to accuse Jews of being in collusion with and responsible for communism, capitalism, liberalism, socialism, revolution, etc.

In the latter half of the 19th century, many of the intellectual roots of Nazism came into existence. The Western European nations’ exploitation of their African and Asian colonies frequently resulted in the conclusion that the local population in the colonies had to be inferior individuals in order to put up with their situation. Racism, cloaked as pseudo-scientific social Darwinism, became a widely acknowledged set of thoughts that led to scientific treatises, books and research projects. Frequently this research served the purpose of pointing out the superiority or inferiority of a specific nation or race. 
Based on such ideas of a racial hierarchy many European nations, including Germany, possessed a feeling that their nation was superior to everybody else. This also meant that all members of this nation should dwell within the same national borders. From this come the extensive Nazi plans to move all ethnic Germans (Volksdeutsche), who were citizens of other countries, into the Third Reich. 
Racist ideas were also the basis for the exclusion of undesirable individuals from the German race. A result of this notion was the Nazi desire to remove Jews, gypsies, the handicapped, and others, from the German Volksgemeinschaft (‘people’s community’). This ‘racial hygiene’ policy was carried out systematically with great cruelty after 1933.]]> 2018-05-09 01:02:40 UTC https://padlet.com/16sarchettt/mwq9wogltba7/wish/259124387 their leader 16sarchettt https://padlet.com/16sarchettt/mwq9wogltba7/wish/259456421 Adolf Hitler did not complete his goal he failed and then killed himself. he killed himself by sinking his sub and not coming back up]]> 2018-05-09 21:01:24 UTC https://padlet.com/16sarchettt/mwq9wogltba7/wish/259456421
