	Movies - Hitler: The Rise of Evil

Hitler: The Rise of Evil (2003) is a movie, produced by Alliance Atlantis, that explores Adolf Hitler's rise to power during the years prior to World War II and focuses closely on how the embittered, politically fragmented and economically buffeted German society after World War I made that ascent possible. The movie also illustrates how Hitler's hatred of the Jews became central to his political mission in Germany and found a broad resonance among the German public.

The subplot of this film follows the struggles of Fritz Gerlich, a German journalist who opposes the rising National Socialist German Workers Party. He is portrayed in the role of a martyr to fulfill the essence of the quotation by Edmund Burke , which is displayed at the beginning and at the end of the film:

:"The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing."
