Document Summary
In order to fathom the level of human rights abuses under hitler and his nazi party, one has to elucidate the party"s rise to power. Adolf hitler and the nazism are intertwined. Nazism as a party was created by hitler under the name of national socialist german. Hitler strongly believed in the movement he created at one time he boasted that his third. Reich (the nazi regime or what was also dubbed the third reich) would be in power for a thousand years. The party came to power in germany in 1933 and governed by totalitarian methods until 1945. In 1920 hitler 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 not serious.
