"In January 1933, Adolf Hitler was appointed as Germany’s chancellor. The horror that the Nazis unleashed in the subsequent 12 years made their movement synonymous around the world with the most unspeakable brutality and depravity. Hitler’s counterrevolutionary dictatorship crushed all opposition with mass incarceration, mass deportation and ultimately mass murder, including entire populations of Jews, Roma and other minorities. The failed Nazi war of conquest reduced Europe to ruins and left permanent scars on human culture and civilization as a whole.
The pseudo-legal framework under which these crimes were carried out was the so-called “state of exception” (
Ausnahmezustand), a concept introduced by lawyer and Nazi party member Carl Schmitt (1888–1985) in the 1920s.
A reactionary jurist from a privileged Catholic background, Schmitt reacted with hostility to the liberal and constitutional reforms of the Weimar era after World War I, expressing himself in terms of a deep hatred of Protestantism, “cosmopolitanism” and especially anything he associated with Jewish culture.
According to Schmitt’s “state of exception” theory, democratic and parliamentary norms cease to operate in the “exceptional” situation of a national emergency. In such an emergency, the survival of the legal order depends not on any norm but on the decisions of the executive, who, Schmitt wrote, “is he who decides on the state of exception.”
Following the Reichstag fire in February 1933, which was utilized by the Nazis to incite anti-communist hysteria, President Paul von Hindenburg issued the Reichstag Fire Decree suspending basic democratic rights. A month later, the German parliament passed what is now known as the Enabling Act—with the legal assistance of Schmitt—which codified Hitler’s powers to act unilaterally without constitutional limits.

What is needed is a reichstag fire. 911 was the last notable example of a convenient excuse.
