"text_description": "Prologue – A Whisper in the Night\nHelmuth's Dilemma\nEleven-year-old Helmuth cowered beneath his blanket in spring 1945. He overheard his Nazi father debating murder-suicide to protect the family. “The Allies will do to us what we did to the crippled and Jews,” the doctor whispered. Hours later the father shot himself, burning his blood-stained uniform. This private terror ushers us into the public story of Nazism.\nGuiding question: Why was a loyal Nazi so terrified of Allied justice? Follow Hitler’s rise to find out.\nSource: NCERT, India and the Contemporary World II, Ch.3, p. 49",

Branded as traitors, they were blamed for defeat while frontline soldiers were glorified.\nThe label crippled faith in the young republic, making democracy appear weak and paving the way for extremist politics.\nSource: NCERT, India and the Contemporary World II, p. 52",

"text_description": "Slide 3 – Money Burns Faster Than Bread\n1923 Hyperinflation\nFrench occupation of the Ruhr prompted Berlin to pay striking workers with freshly printed marks. The currency avalanche made prices explode—one US dollar leapt from 24 000 marks in April to 98 billion by December. Germans pushed wheelbarrows of notes to buy a single loaf.\nLesson outcome: Explain how excessive printing of money turned a political protest into an economic disaster felt in every home.\nSource: NCERT, Nazism & the Rise of Hitler, pp. 53–54",

"text_description": "Slide 4 – The Great Depression Storms In\nThe Great Depression, 1929 – 32\nThe 1929 Wall Street crash choked U.S. loans sustaining Germany. Factories closed; by 1932 nearly six million Germans were jobless. Anxious middle-class families feared sinking into the proletariat, and widespread despair opened the way for a promised “saviour”.\nEconomic collapse primed Germany for Nazi propaganda and Hitler’s emergence.\nSource: NCERT, India and the Contemporary World – II, Chapter III",

"text_description": "Slide 6 – Propaganda as Performance\nNuremberg Rallies\nAnnual rallies flooded Nuremberg with red banners and a sea of Swastikas. Uniformed columns delivered rhythmic, rehearsed salutes. Microphones, radio trucks, posters and film crews broadcast the show across Germany, portraying Hitler as a messiah. Emotion, not argument, bound the crowd; ritual performance displaced critical thought.\nNazis choreographed mass spectacle to forge unity and display power—an early masterclass in 'propaganda of performance'.\nSource: NCERT, Nazism and the Rise of Hitler, pp. 57–58",

By summer all parties and unions were banned, and Gestapo–SS terror silenced opponents.\nIn just six months, legal decrees—not tanks—buried the Weimar Republic.\nSource: NCERT, Class IX, “Nazism and the Rise of Hitler”",

They sought Lebensraum — living space — by conquering Eastern Europe and removing its inhabitants. At home, the Euthanasia Programme secretly killed thousands of mentally or physically disabled Germans.\nHelmuth’s physician father signed euthanasia orders, later fearing Allied revenge for those crimes.\nSource: NCERT, “Nazism and the Rise of Hitler”",

In June 1941 Hitler invaded the USSR; the giant campaign fatally overstretched Germany. April 1945 saw Berlin captured, prompting suicides by Hitler and Goebbels.

"text_description": "Slide 14 – Voices of Resistance and Silence\n“First They Came…”\nPastor Martin Niemöller’s 1946 poem warns that apathy enables tyranny. A handful of Germans and occupied peoples offered covert resistance. Yet the majority watched, fearful or indifferent, as atrocities unfolded. In 1943, Denmark ferried almost all its Jews to safety by fishing boat. Elsewhere, collaborators helped round up neighbours.\nWhat would courage look like under such pressure? How might ordinary citizens respond today?\nSources: Niemöller poem (1946); Danish Rescue (1943).",

The story ends; our duty begins—remember, question, resist.\nSource: NCERT, “Nazism and the Rise of Hitler” (2025-26 Reprint)",
