Adolf Hitler gives a speech based on his anti-Semitic ideas and declares his role as a Nazi leader. This took place only two months after he was released from prison, on charges of treason, with the cause of this would be his first speech on February 27th. In the attempt to use the nazi party to seize power in a coup.

Being put back into power is what made the Jewish people forced to take a step back, while the Nazi party took three steps forward as a result of genocide.

Anne Frank Born- June 12, 1929

Anne Frank was born on June 12, 1929, in Frankfurt, Germany. Anne Frank would live through hiding since the Nazi had seized power in 1933. Anne was the last of her family to finally move and reach her grandparents in Aachen. Anne and her family would have to resort to going in hiding, this is when she would start keeping all her fears, hopes, and excpiriences in her own diary.

I believe this is one of the most read book based on a person's real in moment experiences and most well known too. i've never known many stories about people in the holocost, but i have known Anne Frank since i was in middle school.

SA Member Horst Wessel Dies- Febuary 23, 1930

Horst Wessel, a member of the Nazi Paramilitary group, known as the SA, fought local communists. On January 14, 1930, a small group of communists fatally shot Wessel. This made people believe in the fight they were in and used Wessel as a hero figure for incorporation. They also used the song lyrics Wessel wrote as the Nazis Party's anthem.

I believe that they used the death of someone in power to increase the anger of people in the Nazi parties, by showing that one of their own was killed by the "enemy", as well as making him great by even using his words and lyrics for their very own anthem.

Franklin D. Roosevelt Elected president Of The United States- November 08,1932

dk740 — 2025-09-29 16:59:23 UTC

Franklin D. Roosevelt was elected the 32nd president of the United States. elected with the main foccus of taming the great depression, he would be refered to by historians as the "First New Deal", which forcused on the 3 R's. Relief: for the unemployed and for the poor. Recovery: of the economies back to normals leves. Reforms: to prevent the repeat of the financial system in the depression.

I think this is what brought a great upbringing back into the United States after the depression. using methods to prevent and terminate previous or future problems involving a great depression.

Aldolf Hitler Is Appointed Chancellor- January 30, 1933

This moment is when Paul Von Hindenburg appointed Nazi Party leader, Adolf Hitler, as the chancellor of Germany. Unlike Hitler's previous attempts to gain power illegally, he takes a turn and makes himself come into power legally.

i find it hard to understand how he was able to influence the right people to come into power of something leagally, when hes prevously tried to elegally, as well as being arrested for it in the past and having recoerds of it through the government.

Ban on Jehovah's Witness Organizations- April 01, 1935

dk740 — 2025-09-30 16:53:46 UTC

The ban on the Jahovah's Witness, takes place after the refusal of pledging themself to the state. They refuse this because of it being forbidden in their religion, which goes against swearing themselves to any oath of allegiance to or service in the armed forces of any temporal power.

I think it's honorable for them to have stuck to their religion and beliefs; being forced to take an oath for something you cannot support would ruin their mindsets and beliefs on their own religion.

Olympic Games Open in Berlin- August 01, 1936

dk740 — 2025-09-30 17:04:51 UTC

The Olympic Games in Berlin were created and hosted for the idea of an illusion. A success for the Nazi government, as German officials made a lot of effort to portray Germany as a respectable member of the international community. They even went as far as taking all anti-Jewish signs and restraining all anti-Jewish activities.

By doing this, it creates an image for foreign countries that the Nazi Government is keeping a safe and controlled state and has either handled the Jews with care silently or not even given the idea that anything was happening with the Jews at all.

Neville Chamberlain Takes Office- May 28, 1937

dk740 — 2025-09-30 17:11:24 UTC

Becoming the British prime minister in May 1937. Britain was facing economic and social upheaval from the Great Depression. Chamberlain focused on domestic rather than international concerns. However, he is best remembered for his foreign policy, especially his strategy of appeasement towards Nazi Germany.

This was the beginning of using the ways of the Nazi as a resolution for places that had great damage from the Great Depression.

The First Jewish Law in Hungary- May 29, 1938

dk740 — 2025-09-30 17:18:44 UTC

In May 1938, Hungary adopted a comprehensive anti-Jewish law that restricted the number of Jews in certain sectors of the economy. It became known as the first Jewish law. Later on, Hungary would enact two more comprehensive Jewish laws. Basically, defining that Jewish and non-Jewish people forbade intermarriage between one another.

Having this law would in my mind, create a way to get rid of more and more Jews by law and under "Justification".

Registration of Children with Disabilities- August 18, 1939

dk740 — 2025-10-01 15:01:34 UTC

The German government ordered the registration of all newborn babies and children under three years of age who have shown signs of severe mental or physical disabilities. The mother or both parents would then be confiscated for taking their "disabled" child to the government, where they were then taken to a care of state-run residential clinic. Their medical staff would secretly murder the disabled children by starvation or lethal injection.

Nothing was wrong with those children; the government didn't like people who were different. Although it initially focused on children, they also began implementing the same measures for adults with disabilities.
