Virtual Talk: “Hitler’s First 100 Days” with Peter Fritzsche

This is the chilling story of the beginning of the end. In the early 1930s, Germans were ravaged by the economic depression and pulled to political extremes both left and right. Then, in the spring of 1933, the country turned itself inside out. The deeply fractured republic gave way to a one-party dictatorship. The rise of Hitler. In a series of pivotal moments, most Germans seemed, all at once, to embrace the Nazis and eager to construct the Third Reich. Award-winning historian Peter Fritzsche examines the events of this period–the elections and mass arrests, the bonfires and gunfire, the patriotic rallies and anti-Jewish boycotts–to understand the terrifying power the National Socialists exerted over ordinary Germans and the powerful appeal of the new era they promised.
