Spurred by the emotional speeches of Adolf Hitler, the National Socialist Party took control of Germany in 1933. The Nazis then reorganized Germany into a totalitarian （极权主义）state. Their systematic genocide（种族屠杀）of millions of Jews was the most tragic aspect of their rise to power. Nazi military aggression in Europe sparked World War II, one of the bloodiest wars in human history. Germany's defeat in World War II ended the Nazi regime. 3. Introductory Remarks "Where there is oppression there will be resistance against it." what hte text talks about is a case in point.
