Anti-Semitism has existed for thousands of years. It it related to other forms of prejudice a mixture of ignorance fear and an inescapable human need to hate some enitity in the belief that by doing so one's own 'people' will be uplifted, liberated from invisible chains dragging them down.

Stripping aside all the hate-mongering the story of Adolf Hitler's rise to power is a true 'American' Tale of success. A poor mostly unsuccessful artist at the start of World War One, Adolf adopted the cause of his adopted country, Germany, and served bravely - - - in an Army largely class concious, an army that never let Hitler rise above the rank of Corporal though its American equivalent was Seargent, despite this even with the War over and THOUSANDS of soldiers put out of work, the German Army awared Hitler a post war job as a spy sniffing at various Nationalist Groups arising in the wake of defeat.

Germany was is chaos at the end of World War One. Revolutionary forces wiping out the old order leaving disorer in its wake. Economic misery led to starvation and riots. This situation persisted into the 1920's. Hitler found himself spying on a small party, 'The Nationali Socialist Workers Partyy,' largely liked its ad-hoc mixture of philosophy and found a mutual fondness for anti-semitism. Hitler made himself leader of the party, the Nazi Party, and made the party one of the most powerful in Germany, though never a majority party it none the less had the muscle to seize power - - - - LEGALLY.
Hitler used Anti-Semitism as a tool to catch peoples attention, to focus people's attention on an enemy, Jew & Bolsheviks both of whom were dubbed Terrorists. Hitler felt he was on a mission from 'Fate,' he wasn't much into the thought of there being a God, it is possible that Hitler thought he was God, but Hitler always gave Fate a Nod, and believed that Fate meant all power in Him. Hitler wiped away centuries of confusion, making Berlin & Himself the Central Power, consolidating power in the 'Federal' Government - - - holding on to power through wiretapping & secret police and relying on secret prisons & tribunals. The camps, be they Work Camps or Detention Camps, or whatever one wants to call them, were well in place by the start of global war. Hitler ordered them built to contain his enemies and instructed his lieutenants to find a 'final solution.'

Hitler mostly ordered the Jews Out of Germany - - - and much like wealther folks in New Orleans at the time of Katrina they Went - - - a few stubborn individuals stayed, as did those that could not afford to go and they suffered the wath of the storm. In Germany Hitler orchestrated a series of laws that stripped Jews of their rights as citizens, cut off their income, stole their assets, left them subject to violence / death.

Hope this helps// Peace

The Anti semitism didn't begin with Hitler but he took to the next level.

Hitler was a very complex personality. In short he had immense hate and had to direct it toward someone. He choose to claim the "Aryan" race or all pure Germans were above everyone else and all the problems in Germany were caused by the Jews.

It was decided to deport all Jews to concentration camps. To do so was to do away with the "problem." Which was the Jews.

The first thing done to them were all the weaker people, ill, old feeble, children were immediately killed. Many were simple shot. Others were transported in a truck that had been set up to allow the exhaust to go directly into the back of the truck. By the time they reached a certain spot they were all dead. Then there were the gas chambers. They would make all those chose to undress. make them go into a room they were told were showers. But they were actually gas chambers. Gas was pumped into the rooms and they all died. Then trustees in the camps, many times Jews themselves were called in to place the bodies into ovens where they were burned to nothing.but ash. Even then the ash was searched for any gold they victims may have had in their teeth.

Those who were not selected to die were starved and worked to death.

I'll tell you about antisemitism.

The Jews have been persecuted for thousands of years. Check your Bible. Pharaoh killed the first born sons of the Jews. Rome concurred Israel. The Palestinians threw them out of Israel. They have been scattered and persecuted where ever they went. They are still persecuted in Russia but not to the point of genocide.

Antisemitism is just another form of racism. Because almost all of Europe was white, they picked on religion as a form of bigotry. Jew were different and they still did well, this made them a target for the majority of people that were not doing well. Another case of religious bigotry is in Northern Ireland where Protestants and Catholics hated and fought each other for years. Each side considered themselves Christians but the other side was of the devil.

It is human nature to try to make oneself more important than another person. It's just like in school when you pick on the fat kid or the kid that talks funny.

He replaced into no longer a training Christian. He replaced right into a public Christian and claimed it for political motives. He practiced a German people faith. examine the bible. It would not say something approximately an Aryan race. Hitler needed to kick the Jews out because of the fact he ought to take their materials and money. If a Jew needed to go away Germany they had to provide up ninety% of their wealth and possessions. the only reason the holocaust began to happen replaced into because of the fact he ought to now no longer locate the money for to deport them it particularly is what he replaced into doing on the beginning up of the conflict. Hitler mandatory an enemy and he chosen Jews. rather of asserting I did something incorrect or that the German people have been doing something incorrect, he might in simple terms blame it on the Jews.

You are better off asking a history teacher or going to a library for this one, its a long and complex issue.
