Dismantling Democracy: 53 Days in Nazi Germany

Dismantling Democracy: 53 Days in Nazi Germany explores the critical weeks following Hitler’s appointment as chancellor in 1933, when the Nazi Party legally and systematically dismantled the democratic foundations of the Weimar Republic. Grounded in primary sources and historical context, the program offers an opportunity to learn and talk about this pivotal moment in history—one that reminds us how quickly democratic institutions can erode.
The HHRC offers educational programs that invite communities to examine history in ways that deepen understanding and inspire civic engagement.
