Reichstag Building Fire
The Reichstag building which was the seat of the German government,burnt down by the Nazis and then blamed on the communists because of a dutch communist,Van der lubbe,who was found in the bulding as it burned.Since this building was on fire it tricked the citizens to vote for the Nazis.I find this intresting because this shows how Adolf Hitler and the Nazis where voted for and how they manipulated them to destruction and world domination. -
Hitler Becomes Führer
On 1934,German President,Paul von Hindenburg,lay close to death at his country estate in East Prussia.This gave Adolf Hitler and the Nazis sufficient opportunity to make plans to seize total power in Germany by elevating himself to the position of Führer, or absolute leader of the German nation and its people.On August 2 1934 the death of Hindenburg finally occurred.I chose this because it shows us that Hitler and the Nazis finally got full power so now they can do anything they wish. -
The Nuremberg Race Laws
The Nuremberg race law disallowed Jews from marrying or having sexual relations with Aryans (an Aryan being a person with blond hair and blue eyes of Germanic heritage),and also to hire them for household help.I chose this because it shows us how the Jews were treated and also shows us what rules they had to follow. -

'Eternal Jew' travelling exhibition opens in Munich.
The travelling exhibition promoted stereotypes of Jews and Nazi perceptions of their danger to the world.For example Jewish dress was a warning against racial defilement.I chose this because it shows us how the Nazis manipulated the citizens to believe what they thought. -
