1933 newspaper front page highlighting Reichstag fire

The Reichstag, Germany's parliament, burned in February 1933, a month after Hitler had been elected Chancellor. The building's shell stood for many years until it was rebuilt in 1999. It serves as a major symbol of German reunification.

The headline reads "Arson: Reichstag building in flames"
