summary
The storm of anti-Semitic violence loosed by Nazi Germany under the leadership of Hitler from 1933 to 1945 not only reached a terrifying intensity in Germany itself but also inspired anti-Jewish movements elsewhere. Anti-Semitism was promulgated in France, in Hungary, in England by the British fascists , and in the United States.
