The individually smart thing to do is get the hell out. This could be hard if you're of Jewish heritage, of course.
If the type of prescience you have leaves the future mutable, then you could try to be a hero instead -- anything from working politically to keep solid majorities behind other parties than the Nazis, to caching weapons and organizing resistance cells.
Note that a lot of people are very ill-suited to opposing a world-class demagogue in politics; attempting to take him on head-to-head could be a tragedy, as you watch things go just the way predicted despite your best efforts.
If you *do* have the personal oratorial skills, or the political organization skills, or something, organizing to oppose the Nazis is a good option.
One must also consider assassination. That early, it wouldn't be so hard, especially if getting away was only of secondary interest. I think a lot of us believe it was Hitler's personal magnetism that held the whole thing together and made it work; the corollary is that without him, it wouldn't. This might be *wrong*, of course.
In 1932 it would have been no harder go get out than it would be to get out of the US today -- you'd need enough money and a country that would let you in, just as you would today.
Were there countries taking Jewish emigrants from Germany in 1932? Did *that* change? I was thinking primarily of the dificulty of finding someplace to *go*.
