Impossible to tell from today. Id like to say yes, but it woulda likely be suicidal to do so. Not to mention information was mostly spread by the state, so who knows if Id even know the truth of what my own government was doing.

If I were an adult, I would have fled the country after 1933 when Hitler seized power.

People knew, but it was one of those "they're watching kind of affairs." It's why they went for the socialists as they were the most vocally opposed and had the most active news presence that they didn't control.

This. It's easy to say that you'd resist, but when the result could likely be worse than death, it's hard to say without ever being in the actual scenario

What about who you are makes you think you would have taken the action you believe you would have taken?

It's a lot different then but if I couldn't flee with my famiyl I'd just 'join'
As in 'openly accept them'. I wouldn't sign up for the army or anything but if it was a choice of being a clerical officer and supporting my famiyl vs them starving or being murdered? I choose option 1

I'm pretty sure I'd be murdered due to having disabilities

That's option 3.
I meant out of 'helping family live' or 'or them dying/starving'

That is still option 3. Option 1 would be you resisting, with the implication that you and your family most certainly being killed. Option 3 is you joining the Nazis, possibly even as a clerical person.

I'd have probably made for the door in 1934-35.

Probably for America first, if possible; then either Canada, Panama, or Brazil. Someplace outside of northern Europe or Italy.

Because I would have been accosted on the streets... and kicked out of my job.

Considering the Nazis weren't too kind to LGBTQ+ people, my options would be get killed, resist and get killed, or flee

So I guess if we're talking a 1:1 version of me with my current knowledge and outlooks, I flee and hope another country doesn't also persecute me

Considering the real world parallels going on right now and how the US is in the UN's step 7 of genocide against trans people I think it's pretty reasonable to say whatever you're doing now is what you'd have done then.

I would have headed a coup, overthrown the government, and installed a benevolent new regime founded on peace and acceptance for all.

I have generally never had a problem going up against anything I found to be unjust, so I'm leaning to resistance. Honestly, it takes a lot out of me to stay chill at this point in time.

It's my understanding that a there were a very small number of black people working as or with Nazis.
