Analyze Adolph Hitler’s rise to power and the policies he used to rule Germany.

Analyze Adolph Hitler‘s rise to power and the policies he used to rule Germany. The following statement was taken from a contemporary account of Germany in 1939:

How do you interpret this contemporary account of the persecution of people who are Jewish? Elaborate.
