Adolf Hitler’s rise to power and the further actions of the Nazi Party remain a dark chapter in the history. Hitler rose to supremacy in Germany through a series of electoral victories that ended in his charge as Chancellor in 1933. He held on to power till his suicide in April 1945. Hitler consistently demolished Germany’s democratic institutions, transforming the nation into a militant state with the goal of beating Europe in the name of the so-called Aryan race. His attack on Poland on September 1, 1939, marked the beginning of the European phase of World War II. Throughout the war, Nazi forces committed evil acts, targeting 11 million individuals that were considered inferior or unwanted, including Jews, Slavs, homosexuals, and Jehovah’s Witnesses.
