Hitler in Power

The burning of books

In the night of May 10, 1933, a horrible thing happened. Exactly 100 days after Hitler legally became the Chancellor of Germany he burned 20,000 books across the street from Humboldt University in Berlin. The incident that occurred was anything but an innocent mistake that lit the books on fire. No, that is not what happened at all. That night Hitler and his army collected 20,000 Jewish bibles and burned them. Burned them with no mercy and no doubt in his mind that he was doing the right thing.

How Hitler Came to Power

Hitler had a way of speaking that made the people of Germany want to follow his path and follow his every command. He was a motivational speaker. Unfortunately, not in the good way most motivational speakers are. He was brilliant in that way. The way that he made people wanted to follow him. How do you feel about that? I do not know how he did it; make almost the whole country follow him. To me it seems impossible, but clearly, he did it.
