  it

  into power in 1925 .They were lead by Adolf
  Hitler
• Their symbol is known as the swastika and their
  full name is the Nationalsozialistische Deutsche
  Arbeiterpartei.

The Camps

• The march into Auschwitz was never going to be
  the most warm welcomes but what they did was
  un-dignifying and wrong. The Jewish men and
  women were marched into the camp then their heads
  were shaved and their clothes taken off them.
  They were then given just a grey dress if you
  were a woman and grey trousers if you were a man.
  People who were too sick to survive were thrown
  in ditches with the dead to die.

Revolts

• Many of the Jews who did revolt did not survive
  but they still made a huge impact upon the Nazis.
  In birkenau at one of the four crematoriums the
  Jewish prisoners there smuggled gunpowder and
  made little grenades made of metal shoe polish
  cases.
