Yes — completely free. Every student gets 45 questions a day on the free plan, across any board and any subject, with no card required and no trial countdown. Kramizo's optional Pro plan removes the daily cap and adds analytics, but the free plan is genuinely free forever. We make money from the small percentage of students who choose to upgrade — not from selling data or ads.

Explanations are written in the style of official examiner mark schemes so students learn exactly what marks are being awarded for.

Question

In 1933, approximately 3.5 million people were members of trade unions in Germany. By the end of 1933, this figure had dropped to zero because of a specific Nazi action. Which action directly caused this?

Accepted Answer

Trade unions were abolished and replaced by the German Labour Front (DAF) — In May 1933, the Nazis stormed trade union offices, arrested leaders, and replaced all unions with the German Labour Front (DAF), which served workers' interests in name only and was controlled by the regime. Trade union leaders were not expelled under an Alien Act. The Nuremberg Laws (1935) targeted Jewish people, not trade unions. Trade unions did not voluntarily dissolve — they were forcibly destroyed.
