The Haunting Legacy of Nazism

An 11-year-old boy stopped eating for nine years, terrified his own mother would poison

him. He overheard his Nazi father planning to kill the family before committing

suicide in 1945. His dad feared the Allies would do to them what the Nazis did to millions

of Jews and other "undesirables." This was Nazism: a system of hate built on a "master

race" ideology. After WWI left Germany humiliated and broke, Hitler promised a glorious comeback.

Using masterful propaganda, he was hailed as a savior while Jews were dehumanized

and blamed for everything, leading to their mass murder.
