• Perhaps the most famous example of totalitarianism is
nazi Germany under the rule of adolf Hitler. Hitler came
to power in 1933 after being elected by the german
people. However, he illegally assumed more power
than was granted under german law. By doing so, he
held complete control of the government, both
national and local. Under Hitler’s regime, if a citizen

arrested and often sent to a concentration camps were
Nazi Germany part of a system used for the imprisonment and murder
of people the nazis deemed undesirable. The
concentration camps were used in the holocaust and
held millions of Jews, political prisoners, gypsies,
homosexuals, mentally handicapped, and any other
person the nazis deemed undesirable before they were
sent or worked to their deaths. The nazis also made
stipulations as to what people were allowed to do their
daily lives. For example, artists had to do in their daily
lives.
