The group was actually formed long before Adolf Hitler came into power by promising that there would be more jobs, Germany would be a better place and poverty would end.

The Nazis were anti-Semitic (hating Jews) blaming the Jews for the problems in Germany. They made laws against Jews ("Rassengesetze" = Race laws) and they required Jews to wear a Star of David on their clothing. The Jews were mistreated, persecuted and killed by the Nazis.
