Hitler joined the National Socialists soon after the end of the First World War. His rise to prominence was rapid and his extremely anti-Semitic ideas appealed to many within the party. Hitler's appeal was sufficiently strong to secure millions of votes for the Nazi Party in the elections leading up to 1933. It is important to realize that Hitler came to power through democratic means. Once he was made Chancellor of Germany he was soon able, through scare tactics, to become the Fuehrer that he had described back in 1923 in 'Mein Kampf'. Once the Nazis had secured a place in government, they proceeded to do away with democracy, and implement a One Party state. The persecution of the Jews was about to begin. What’s next for us here in the United States??
