why did hitler blame germany economic problems on the Jews?

Answer 1

Beacuse he believed in the supreme aryan race...which by his standards the jews didnt belong to....or he just wanted a reason to exterminate them, beacuse of his own prejudices.

Answer 2

With the Allies demanding reparations for The Great War,Germany's economy was looking more and more bleak. Hitler needed something to prey upon and make himself look like a hero that saves the nation.
But you know,it's amazing how the throughout history the Jewish community always remains together to help it's own citizens. This was the case in most of Europe,so Hitler chose them to be the scapegoat for Germany's ills.Simply take what they've built up and if anyone protests,send them to the camps.

Answer 3

Because many Jews up until World War II worked in the Banking industry. Thus Hitler saw that they controlled and were ruining Germany's economy.

Answer 4

It was the easiest. Anti semitism was normal then and the usual stereotype of the Jew was as mentioned above rich bankers, making money on the back of poor people usually. It came from the fact that for centuries Jews were the only ones who could loan money.
So if one wanted someone to blame for economic problems, one pointed at the nasty money grabbing rich Jews. And most people who had grown up with anti semitism and all those stereotypes believed it. After all everybody knew it was true.

Answer 5

Pre WW2, the Jews controlled the banking and many big businesses in Germany and Hitler wanted their wealth... plus, the German Gov. still owed millions of Deutchmarks to the jewish bankers from WW1 and by declaring them non citizens, Hitler didn't have to repay the loans.

It's the old WATCH THE MONEY thingy.

Answer 6

The jews were targeted by Hitler as the reason for any problem of Germany. Hitler was very anti-semitic and wanted control of the Jews' assets, especially in banking and art. He implemented a systematic propoganda campaign and then began confiscating property and businesses. He did not want jews as part of his "superior" race of germans.

Answer 7

Rhetorical, i presume? Why not blame it on the smallest minority, especially when such have, percentage-wise, the highest representation of wealth and professional level employment?

Easy target, the local troglodytes always enjoy hating and attacking those who are more "competent" than they, and who are the most vulnerable to physical assault. It makes them "feel" better about themselves.

Kind of like the "Emmanuel Goldstein approach" to psychopathological controlling of "the clones" in 1984, eh? Always popular among nazi type regimes--focusing the rage on an unpopular target so as to deflect it from where it should be directed -- at the psychotic leadership. Hmmmm. Sounds a bit like 9-11, eh? :)))

Answer 8

Most of the stories are based on something in his life being messed up by a Jew.
there is stories that his mother died while seeing a Jewish doctor. Another saying he got an STD from a Jewish Prostitute..many of them are biased towards Jews doing something wrong to him.
He believed in a supreme race that didnt include the Jews.

Answer 9

well Hitler...he's an idiot. my history teacher rocked in telling us ALL about why Hitler blamed everything on the Jews, homosexuals, and most people who weren't blonde and blue eyed. so it all started when he wanted to go to an art school but eventually was denied to it. sadly it was run by ALL jews. that was his start on his hatred of Jews :P yep that's what the experts traced it down to and that's why Hitler is one of the dumbest people on the planet.

Answer 10

1. He believed it.
2. They were a useful scapegoat.
