Nazi Germany

Adolf Hitler, their violence remained a deep gash in the western world

Nazism was originated in Germany in the early 1920s. It was the

doctrines or practices of the Nazi party. Nazism was a shortened version

of the tern National Socialism, denoting the doctrine and form of

government of Nazi Germany under the rule of Adolf as enunciated in his

book Mein Kampf. The term was an abbreviation of Nationalsozialistische

Deutsche Arbeiterpartei (German National Socialist Worker Party).

National Socialist German Workers Party founded in 1919 on fascist

principles and dominant from 1933 to 1945 in Germany. The party's

principles were essentially antidemocratic and racist. Hitler borrowed

considerably from the Italian Fascist and Soviet Communist Systems, but the

Nazi pseudoscientific racist theories were original German contributions.

In the past storm troopers and communists had contested the streets on

fairly equal terms. Now, three days after the formation of Hitler's

cabinet, communist meeting were banned in Prussia. To enforce such

measures, there was a new and ominous agency. A minor department in the

For the most

part, Germany was a burned-out crater of big- power politics.

Bright and early the next day regular police, together with

detachments of SS and SA, occupied union headquarters throughout the land.

Leading officials were arrested and dispatch to concentration camps. They

had, in theory, been part of the National Socialist program form the

beginning. Within two years its

actiones would be free from judicial review and it would take its place

beside the SD (Sicherheitsdienst, or "Security Service") and the security

branch of the SS in a sadistic competition to achieve the totalitarian

state. In reaction, there was

not even an organized protest, let alone an uprising which the communist

leadership would undoubtedly have encouraged had it not already been

removed. A good many German Jews

wishfully believed that Hitler's venom was reserved for the Eastern Jews

who had begun flooding into Germany after World War I. As a reality within German borders they were a

weak minority, so in practice the myth could be put aside and dealt with at

Hitler's convenience.

Communists and Jews might have expected little better on the basis of

Hitler's past performance. Now, within Germany, National

Socialism stood alone. Others,

accustomed to centuries of persecution, accepted this as just one more

period of hard times which must be endured.

The Jews, if their reviled relationship to Nazism had been simply that

of expedient scapegoat, could now have been passed over. Communism was gone as a counterweight. After all, Jews in England and

the United States were barred from the best clubs.
