The Holocaust Museum and the events in Germany in the 1930s was a backdrop to why we need very strong, ethical police leadership and to avoid political influence and to insure that the mission of the police department is adhered to.” In 1934 Adolf Hitler ended Germany’s democracy by making himself dictator and ushering in the Third Reich: it wasn’t long before the Jewish population felt his wrath, at first with the closing and smashing of businesses and the denial of education – and finally the arrest and murder of upwards of 6 million Jews.
