dec 29, 1932 - In 1933, the Nazi Party, an extremist political group, took power in Germany. The Nazis held strongly anti-Semitic beliefs, and soon began persecuting Germany’s large Jewish population. At the same time, Germany began rebuilding its military after its defeat in World War I. As Germany began to threaten its neighbors and seize territory in the mid- to late-1930s, many European Jews fled to the Palestinian Mandate. This increase in immigration led to rising tensions in Palestine.
