When the Nazi Party began its rise in Germany, many supporters believed that Hitler's intentions for the country were both intelligent and moral. Many groups of people supported Hitler because he was able to help Germany in many ways. In terms of finding jobs, improving the economy and strengthening the military, he was very successful. At this time, most of the country supported Hitler, but once his ideas of hatred towards certain members of the German population were exposed, many people immediately turned against Hitler and the Nazi Party. These groups of people include political parties like the communist and socialist parties, religious groups like the Catholic Church, and the majority of the population of the countries surrounding Germany. Although there were individuals "brainwashed" into believing in Nazi ideas, there were also many courageous groups of people across the country who stood up for those discriminated against on the basis of their religion, sexual orientation, race and disability. The Nazi Party began in the Circle of Political Workers. The Circle of Political Workers was a small group that first met in 1918 under the leadership of Karl Harrer and Anton Drexler. Anton Drexler was a locksmith in Munich and Karl Harrer was a racist journalist and member of the völkisch-mystical Thule society. In 1919, under Drexler, the circle transformed into a National Socialist political group. In the early 1920s it was renamed the Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei and eventually became the Nazi Party. Adolf Hitler was introduced as Führer of the Nazi Party in July 1921, but initially failed to win the support of the German population. In the 192 elections...... middle of paper ...... the trial and those involved in the plot. The accused were found guilty and most of them were executed in Berlin Prison. Although many people across Germany were threatened at the time into believing such hateful Nazi ideas, there were still individuals who took a stand against the mistreatment. Not everyone had the courage to stand up for their beliefs, but those who did are still remembered today for their heroic actions. Whether it's the Catholic Church who stood up for the disabled or the Danes who helped save more than 8,000 Jews, it's clear that there are people willing to do what they can to bring an end to such cruel behavior. Often, Hitler's cruel actions are the only moments people seem to remember, but it is also uplifting to remember those who were brave enough to resist mistreatment, even if fear held them back..
