THE RISE OF THE NAZI PARTY

Offering a unique perspective on the Third Reich that examines not only the horrendous violence perpetrated by the Nazis but also their acts of suppression and subversions of democracy, these programs reveal how this band of criminal conspirators were able to gain power and exploit the economic turmoil in Germany, persuading the German people to follow them into a nightmare of brutality, genocide, and, eventually, another crushing military defeat. Includes a 16-page viewer’s guide with a timeline, articles on Hitler’s early life, Jews in the German-speaking world, fascism around Europe, and biographies of prominent Nazis. Note: Contains some disturbing images and content.
