Why did Adolf Hitler persecuted the Jews?

Answer 1

The Jews were used for political expediencey. The Jews were a convenient 'scapegoat' to rally and unify the people against a common enemy.

Most of the world thought that a humane form of expulsion was the Nazi plan for the Jews. Hitler was elected as Chancellor to the German Reichstag in 1933 and the first death camps were established from 1942-1944.

So Hitler manipulated 51% of the German people to his way of thinking by using the Jews as a common enemy. It only takes 51% of the vote to win an election.

Answer 2

The Jews were a convenient group to persecute - it had been done for millenia before Hitler.
He needed a scapegoat and they were there.
He was a psychopath, sociopath - you name it. He didn't need a legitimate reason. And since many, if not most, Europeans were already anti-Semitic, they were an easy target.

Answer 3

Hitler,born austrian, later on in life began to follow the German ways, many Austrians and Germans at that time were of lower, very low economic status, and many individuals of Jewish ancestory controlled most of the money, said Hitler, and he wanted to use the Jews as the scapegoats and blame them for Austria and Germanies period of depression. and the rest, as people say is History....

Also, his mother's doctor was Jewish, and when she died, he blamed the doctor. There was also some stuff about him not being sure who his father was and he always figured it was a Jew.
