Jews and Hitler


Nazis gained control over Germany in 1933 after Hitler came to power.Soon the anti-Semitic laws were implemented, which involved hunting down the Jews , imprisoning them and finally  their planned extermination.Hitler reigned  Germany from 1933 to 1945 as the head of the National Socialist German Workers' Party. He became the Chancellor of Germany on 30 January 1933.He removed unemployment, brought jobs, spent heavily on military activities and suppressed  all civic organizations,labor unions and the government. Hitler was the  Führer everything under his control and with this the persecution of Jews, seizure of their property began. By December 1941 Germany allies controlled almost all of mainland Europe,they were about to occupy Moscow.The countries not under the Nazi Germany were  Spain,  Sweden, Portugal, Switzerland,Vatican, Monaco, Andorra etc.  

 Six million Jews, Slavs, and political prisoners, were  killed,  ten million people were put into forced labor , systematic state-sponsored extermination was carried out.
The persecution and genocide were planned and implemented step by step.Initially legislation
to remove the Jews from civil society,were passed as per the Nuremberg Laws . Concentration camps were established , labor was enforced upon the prison inmates , who were packed tightly in Ghettos, the survivors of these crowded camps were eventually exterminated in gas chambers.History has never witnessed such systematic elimination of mankind before, all the while Germany expanded its boundaries and Hitler brought economic prosperity for the country until one night when the Red Army marched in and Hitler had to take his own life, his ultimate defeat.
