About this course
The "thousand-year Reich" that Hitler promised when he became Chancellor of Germany in January 1933 lasted but 12 years. During this time, Hitler and his Nazi Party attempted to dominate Europe, terrorised vast numbers of Germans, launched a devastating war and orchestrated the murder of more than five million Jews. In spite of the terror and vast destruction, Hitler and the Nazi Party gained the active support and involvement of most Germans. How was this possible? What roles did seduction and terror play?
This class focuses on Hitler's Germany, and it begins with the 19th century background. Central to this session will be a discussion of the broad political currents, the agitators and petty demagogues who fuelled the dissatisfaction and spread it widely. We will also examine the popular literature that Hitler and many of his supporters read and absorbed.
We will visit local museums, historical sites and locations that illuminate the workings of Nazi rule. These visits are a key element of the class and the experience of studying in Berlin.
