The opportunity for the Nazi's to come into power is simple. The leadership during the 1930's was not very good. So if someone came along offering people a reason for the terrible times and things that were happening. People were looking for answers as to why they were suffering and they were willing to do anything to make their life better. Germany was in a state of suffering. So if someone came along and offered them a new life and a better way to live it, the people would take that. That is why Germany was in an easy state for someone like Adolf Hitler to take over.
When Hitler first came forward telling people that the reason that the world was like this is because of the Jews people were spectacle. But when people are in desperate need for something else and someone comes along telling them that these Jewish people are the cause then they may start to believe it if they are told it enough. So Hitler began his journey to start a group called the Nazi's and start to persecute the Jewish people. Hitler began telling people in daily speeches that the Jewish were the reason that the Germans did have enough food or that the war was going on. So when the Germans were at their weakest Hitler began to form his group. He told people that he could help them get out of debt and get them money and a new life.
The German people did not rise against Hitler during the Holocaust period is because things were not bad for people who were not Jewish. They were not being persecuted or dying because Hitler was doing that to the Jewish. People were also afraid to rise up against him because of what he was doing to the Jews. If they tried to rise up against him he might do the same to them. Plus people figured that what he said was true. With the Jews in concentration camps there seems to be less debt and poverty and less problems. Even though this might not have been true and the Germans could see that Hitler told people this enough that they started to believe what he said was true. So instead of fighting back they let him be in control and handle a "problem" that was supposedly blamed on a group of innocent people. So this is why they did not rise up against Hitler because by the time he was done talking the German people weren't sure what he was saying was a lie because he had said it so much.
