History

Historical Context

The Nazi Party, led by Adolf Hitler, rose to power in Germany in 1933, implementing the Nuremberg Laws in 1935 that stripped Jews of citizenship and rights. This era of violent anti-Semitism laid the groundwork for the Holocaust, where approximately six million Jews were murdered.
