A: Don't you see what's happening? The fire at the Reichstag is just what the Nazis needed. They found their scapegoat and blame the Communists. That’s how it starts: Thanks to the “Reichstag Fire Decree”, Hitler can now imprison anyone at any time. B: What’s your problem? At least things have changed. We’ve got work. My son enjoys his time with the Hitler Youth. And I can afford a holiday in Rügen. I've been better off since the Nazis are in power. A: But others pay the price! Our mutual friend Emil – he disappeared. Only because he was in the trade union. The Nazis took him and his wife and children are desperate. I don't think they'll ever see him again. B: Sshh. If someone hears you, you’ll be next! A: But if we don't say anything, where does this lead to? What will happen? The Nazis used the Reichstag fire as a pretext to abolish basic rights. Soon all parties except Hitler's NSDAP were banned. Thousands of Berliners were arrested and tortured. Among them Communists, Social Democrats, Jews and homosexuals.
