Born on May 23, 1900, in Karlsruhe, Germany, Frank was initially trained as a lawyer, joining the Nazi Party in 1923. He quickly rose through the ranks by aligning himself closely…

There are some facts that can be disputed in relation to the Holocaust,albeit very few. The one thing though that is indisputable is that Hitler and his henchmen were not able to cause so much death and destruction if it hadn’t been for the men and women who helped them. It may be disputed that…

⚠️ WARNING: This article contains graphic descriptions of torture and murder. One of the most grotesque contradictions of the Nazi regime was its attitude toward cruelty.
