Founding of the Nazi Party

The Nazi Party was founded as the German Workers’ Party by Anton Drexler, a Munich locksmith, in
1919. Hitler attended one of its meetings that year, and before long his energy and oratorical skills
would enable him to take over the party, which was renamed National Socialist German Workers’ Party
in 1920. That year Hitler also formulated a 25-point program that became the permanent basis for the
party. The program called for German abandonment of the Treaty of Versailles and for the expansion of
German territory. These appeals for national aggrandizement were accompanied by a strident anti-
Semitic rhetoric. The party’s socialist orientation was basically a demagogic gambit designed to attract
support from the working class. By 1921 Hitler had ousted the party’s other leaders and taken over.

The history of the Nazi Party after 1934 can be divided into two main phases. The years between 1934
and 1938 were used by the party to establish virtual total control of all political, social, and cultural
activities in Germany. This phase began in earnest with the death of Hindenburg on August 2, 1934. The
functions of the military and government were subsumed into the party, and all troops and officials
were forced to take the oath of fidelity to Hitler personally. The Holocaust was the genocide of
European Jews during World War II. Between 1941 and 1945, Nazi Germany and its collaborators
systematically murdered some six million Jews across German-occupied Europe, around two-thirds of
Europe's Jewish population.
