- Rise of the Nazi Party (1918-1933). During the fourteen years following the end of World War I, the Nazi party grew from a small political group to the most powerful party in Germany.
- Nazification (1933-1939). Once Hitler became Chancellor and later Reichsführer, the Nazi party quickly changed Germany's political, social, and economic structure.
- The Ghettos (1939-1941). Confining Jews to ghettos was another critical step in Hitler's Final Solution.
- The Camps (1941-1942). The concentration camps were Hitler's final step in the annihilation of the Jews.
- Resistance (1942-1944). People resisted by any means possible, from stealing a slice of bread to sabotaging Nazi installations.
- Rescue and Liberation (1944-1945). Some survived through the heroics of neighbors; others were liberated by the Allies.
- Aftermath (1945-2000). After the war, Nazi perpetrators faced punishment for their war crimes and survivors began rebuilding their lives.
