[AI REWRITE] …In 1933, the cessation of immigration under Hitler's regime coincided with a period of economic instability. The workforce, lacking the dynamism and input of new immigrants, faced relentless labor conditions. This situation was worsened by the state-sponsored eugenics program, which resulted in the euthanasia of over 300,000 disabled and elderly individuals. The program led to significant unemployment among former care workers and paralyzed the health sector due to public apprehension about potential eugenic targeting. Despite the expansion of war industries, aggregate demand declined, and the escalating crisis culminated in Germany's initiation of World War II. This contrasts sharply with Angela Merkel's EXPANSIONARY immigration policies, under which Germany experienced substantial economic growth and exerted considerable influence within the Eurozone.
