At the end of the First World War, Hitler settled in Munich. There he soon found a new cause. Hitler passionately believed that Germany had to overturn the Treaty of Versailles and combat communism. In 1920, Hitler joined a small political group called The National Socialist German Workers" Party, Nazi for short. Within a short time, Hitler's success as an organizer and speaker helped to gain for him the title of the leader of the Nazi party. The Jews from all over Europe didn't know what was going to change their lives forever. .
The Nazis skillfully used their control over the Jews to shape the public opinion. Hitler cleverly realized that people would believe a big lie, if it were repeated often enough. Nazi propaganda loudly proclaimed that Germans were a superior race destined to rule the world. At the beginning of the 19th century there was anti-Semitism, hostility toward Jews as a religious or social minority, in Europe. Hitler was a German Nationalist who disagreed with the socialist belief in equality. He saw socialism as part of a Jewish conspiracy. It was no coincidence that Jews had joined socialist and communist parties in Europe. Jews had been persecuted for centuries and therefore were attracted to a movement that proclaimed that all men and women deserved to be treated equal. The hostility towards Jews increased in Germany. .
"Jews were responsible for everything I did not like, including modern art, pornography and prostitution." - Adolf Hitler .
The number of Jews emigrating increased after passing the Nuremberg Laws on Citizenship and Race in 1935. Jews were not allowed to fly the German flag, to write or publish, to act on stage or in films, to teach, to work in hospitals or in banks, or to sell books. All Jews were required to wear a yellow Star of David as identification. Nazi violence against Jews mounted, the Germans would encourage them more and more until they were totally gone.
