[[Image:Naziflag.png|thumb|300px|The Nazis' symbol, the Swastika]]Nazis is an [[acronym]] for the National Socialist German Workers’ party (German: Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei) . The group was actually formed long before [[Adolf Hitler]] came into power by promising that there would be more jobs, [[Germany]] would be a better place and poverty would end. His power was increased when his followers used intimidation and violence to win a majority in the German Parliament. The Nazis were [[Anti-Sematism|anti-Semitic]] (hating Jews) blaming the [[Jews]] for the problems in Germany. They made laws against Jews ("Rassengesetze" = Race laws) and they required Jews to wear a [[Star of David]] on their clothing. The Jews were mistreated, persecuted and killed by the Nazis. The Nazi state also persecuted [[Communism|Communists]] and other political opponents, [[Jehovah's Witnesses]] and foreign nationals.
