When the Nazi Party began its rise in Germany, there were many supporters who believed that Hitler's intentions for the country were both intelligent and moral. Many groups of people supported Hitler because he was able to help Germany in many ways. In terms of finding jobs for people, improving the economy and strengthening the army, he was very successful. At the time, most of the country was in support of Hitler, but once his ideas of hatred towards some members of the German population were revealed, many people immediately turned against Hitler and the Nazi Party. These groups of people include political parties such as the Communist and Socialist parties, religious groups such as the Catholic Church, and the majority of the population in the countries surrounding Germany. While there were individuals who were brainwashed into believing Nazi ideas, there were also many courageous groups of people across the country who stood up for those who were being discriminated against based on religion, sexual orientation, race, and disability.

Although many people across Germany were threatened at the time into believing such hateful Nazi ideas, there were still people who took a stand against the mistreatment. Not everyone had the courage to stand up for their beliefs, but those who did are still remembered today for their heroic actions. Whether it is the Catholic Church advocating for the disabled, or the Danes who helped save over 8,000 Jews, it is clear that there are people willing to do what they can to stop such cruel behavior. Often, Hitler's cruel actions are the only moments people seem to remember, but it is also uplifting to remember those who were brave enough to stand up to the mistreatment, even if fear held them back..
