From the “I Did Not Know That File” -
The anti-tobacco movement in Nazi Germany was the first public anti-smoking campaign in modern history. Anti-tobacco movements grew in many nations from the beginning of the 20th century, but these had little success except in Germany where the campaign was supported by the government after the Nazis came to power. It was the most powerful anti-smoking movement in the world in the 1930s and early 1940s. The Nazi leadership condemned smoking and several of them openly criticized tobacco consumption. Research on smoking and its effects on health thrived under Nazi rule and was the most important of its type at that time.

Human Swastika
Josef Blösche was a Nazi war criminal who held the rank of SS-Rottenführer. Born in Friedland in Austria-Hungary, Blösche began his life working as a farmhand and a waiter at his father's hotel. After Nazi Germany took over the Sudetenland, Blösche became a willing servant of the regime.
In September 1941, he began serving as a guard at the Warsaw Ghetto and was in charge of the wooden bridge between Warsaw and the ghetto. He became known as "Frankenstein" for his monstrous behavior. Here he is on the right of this famous photograph...

Berlin stories
On May 10, 1933, members of the Nazi Party gathered in Berlin, and many other German cities, to burn books that represented “Un-German” ideas. 100 years earlier said the German poet Heinrich Heine, "where they burn books they will also burn people". In August 2006, there’s a new sculpture at the same square where the book burning took place (Ami Ben Basat’s site in Hebrew)

The Wannsee Protocol
"Buchenwald, according to Freud, once the light was let in, would become a soccer field, fat children would learn flower-arranging and solfeggio in the strangling rooms. At Auschwitz the ovens would be converted over to petit fours and wedding cakes, and the V-2 missiles to public housing for the elves."
- Thomas Pynchon, The Crying of Lot 49
Wannsee villa. After the surrender of the German army, the Allied powers began a search for the Nazi documents that they would need as evidence at the Nuremberg Military Tribunal. They found tons of paperwork including secret documents hidden in salt mines and behind walls in the Nazi administration buildings. But the one most important document, the order signed by Hitler which gave the authority for the genocide of the Jews, was never found. Then in 1947, long after the Nuremberg IMT ended, the minutes of a conference held on January 20, 1942 at a villa in Wannsee, a district of Berlin, were found. At this conference, the plans for the "Final Solution to the Jewish Question" had been discussed
