Civil Rights in Nazi Germany

Throughout the period of time where the Nazis had taken over Germany, Nazi soldiers ignored the Civil Rights and went against them ultimately. Civil rights are the rights of citizens to "political and social freedom and equality". Knowing how the Nazi's propaganda showcased how their way of life was "benefiting" the people of Germany, it wasn't surprising when Nazi soldiers would march into houses unannounced and search through people's homes; privacy ceased to exist. A civil right could be the right to vote, once turned to a certain age. The civil rights don't discriminate through race, religion, skin, personality, gender or origin. However, it would be crazy to say that the Nazi's were kindly to Jews. Even more, since the Propaganda posters and the elections stretched the truth, people believed that the searching was just temporary and was just helping the country get rid of the people Germany as a nation could not trust.
