Fear and terror are essential to totalitarian regimes as they seek to quell any dissent through force and intimidation. As Adolf Hitler and the Nazi regime consolidated power in 1933, violence and extralegal tactics including the creation of concentration camps became central components to establishing an authoritarian regime. Utilizing primary source documents and visual history testimony, participants will explore this topic and learn about the role of terror and extrajudicial punishment as crucial to the rise of the Nazi Party and its subsequent domination of German citizens and people throughout Europe. Resources will also be highlighted that will allow participants to share this knowledge with others, including their peers, children, and grandchildren.

12:00 pm Eastern Time (11:00 am Central Time, 10:00 am Mountain Time, 9:00 am Pacific Time)
