Panel
3: Finding the Scapegoat
In
1919, the Nazi party is formed. Its members
are deeply patriotic and want to restore German
traditions and values. They want to rid the
country of unwanted influences that undermine
the German national character.
The
Nazis place all the blame for the current situation
squarely on the shoulders of their World War
I enemies, as well as on a small group of people
who have been persecuted for centuries - the
Jews.
Many
Germans feel they are the victims, like the
French and British in World War I. And like
the French and British before them, they want
revenge. Hitler and his Nazis understand and
fuel these feelings.
