The National Socialist German Workers Party was the name of a fanatical society of Germans attempted to take over the world during World War II. They took control of the German government during the 1930's and were led by a man named Adolf Hitler. The Nazi Party was a political party that rose due to the effects of the Great Depression, having antisemitic, anti-monarchist and anti-Marxist views, and believing in the superiority of Germans, whom nationalists claimed to be part of the Aryan "master race". So they started to eliminate "inferior races," like the Jews, creating concentration camps designed to torture and extinguish them.
