This four-hour, fact-based mini-series explores Adolf Hitler's rise to power during the years prior to World War II. It focuses closely on how the embittered, politically fragmented and economically buffeted German society after World War I made that ascent possible.
The mini-series illustrates how Hitler's hatred of the Jews became central to his political mission in Germany and found a broad resonance among the German public.
