what did hitler tell his people to turn them against the Jews?

Answer 1

That they hate Heineikin!!!

Answer 2

Germany after WWI was very poor. Inflation was extreme. The country was under rigorous monitoring by the Eureopeans, in theory to make sure Germany didn't rise to a military power again. Hitler's party was looking for someone to blame for all the misery, so they chose the Jews.

Historically, Jews were accused of usury and controlling the currency. Hitler and his party blamed the Jews for the poverty and inflation in Germany. Throughout history, Jews have been accused of killing Christ and killing Christian children during Passover. The Jews in Germany were largely assimilated, and many considered themselves Germans, not so much as Jews.

But Hitler stirred up people who were looking for change and people to blame other than themselves. He used sophisticated speaking and propaganda techniques. It wasn't until 1942 or so that the German SS began the "Final Solution" of killing all the Jews, although their civil rights were curtailed and they were rounded up into Ghettos and concentration camps before that.

You might look for readings on a propaganda book called "Protocols of the Elders of Zion."

Answer 3

When WWI ended all the countries had to sing the Verailles Treaty. This said Germany had to take full responsibity for the war, they had to pay damages and they were no longer allowed an army. This angered lots of Germans and things in Germany began to greatly worsen. Hitler came to power in the midst of this depression and blamed the Jews for all Germany's problems as Jews were all wealthy and well off.

Answer 4

WWII had its roots in the way WWI ended. The treaty of Versailles had many problems. One of which was that it did not allow Germany to feel vanquished.

"Yet the German defeat was anything but complete. The commander of the German Expeditionary Force, General John Pershing, had argued during the pre-armistice negotiations that only a peace dictated in Berlin would force the Germans to recognize their defeat, but the Allies allowed the Germans to sign an armistice in the field. The German Army, while surrendering much of its heavy weaponry, marched back to the Reich ans were greeted, even by the Social Democratic president of the new republic as "unbeaten in the field." the "stab in the back" legend-that the army had lost the war not on the battlefield, but because of Jewish and Communist treason on the home front-became a cornerstone of German politics. But the strategic realities of 1919 forced the republic to sign the Treaty of Versailles."

Answer 5

The short end of it, Hitler fought for Germany in WWI and was pissed off that they lost and blamed the Jews for it.

Answer 6

There was always anti-Semitism. Hitler used his propaganda machine to turn up the heat on the anti-Semitism.
I saw one propaganda film where Jews were depicted as rats.

Answer 7

They were against Jews from the start. He told them they were responsible for capitalism, communism and unemployment.

Answer 8

Anti-semitism has a long history in Germany, Hitler just added fuel to the fire.

Answer 9

~He didn't. He simply played on the long-standing pre-existing sentiments of the German people and of most of Europe.

Read Mein Kampf or any of Hitler's speeches on the subject. He really wasn't saying anything new. Anti-Jewish (I won't say Anti-Semitic because most of the world's Semites are not Jewish and never have been - in fact, we know the "Palestinians" of today have no historical claim to a homeland in Palestine because they are Semites and the original Palestinians, who vanished in the days of Babylon, were not.) had been rampant in Europe for centuries. Hitler was a product of his times. He knew of things like the Spanish Inquisition and the long standing hated of the Jews by the Catholic (and later on, the Protestant) Church. He knew that as early as the Magna Carte, Jews had been singled out for official Government discrimination. He was aware of the forced re-settlement by Catherine the Great of the Jews in the eighteenth century into the Jewish Pale and of the inhuman conditions to which they were subjected there and the her policies were continued into the twentieth century, and that no one cared (or, more accurately, that everyone supported such government sanctioned abuse). He was aware of the total lack of action by the rest of the world at the Evian Conference in 1938. He was aware of the fate of the passengers on the SS St. Louis. He knew of the rabidly hostile reaction of much of the world to the Balfour Declaration and Great Britain's and the League of Nation's plan to create a Jewish homeland in the British Protectorate of Palestine. He was aware that Jews had been singled out for discrimination and racial/ethnic/religious hated since before Roman times, and he knew no one would come to the aid of the Jews if he simply eradicated them. He was very well aware that his knowledge of these events and a plethora more just like them was common knowledge and that his sentiments were shared by a majority of Germans and Europeans generally, and he was aware of anti-Jewish immigration and other laws of the United States and much of the rest of the Western Hemisphere.

Jews in Europe in Hitler's day, and before, were something akin to Indians in the United States in the 19th century or Blacks in the 20th or Muslims today (you know, the only good one is a dead one). He, and everyone in Germany (along with the rest of Europe and most of the rest of the world) knew that whatever he did to Jews within the confines of Germany or German occupied lands would be privately applauded by most world governments, or at least largely ignored by them. In that, he was right. And make no mistake, the world knew what was going on. They could pretend the rumors were exaggerated or untrue perhaps until Jan Karski brought his photographs and first hand accounts out of the Warsaw Ghetto and Belzec in 1942, but any basis for denial, plausible or otherwise, went up in smoke after that.

Using the fables about the Jews that were pretty much universally believed (they controlled the banks, they controlled the international money supply, they controlled the press, they controlled industry, they caused the Great Depression and the war with their world-wide economic conspiracy, they were working together across international borders to create a Jewish dominated and controlled world, etc.) as justification for his pogroms was simply a logical way for him to unite the people of Germany in a common cause. It is nothing different than George Bush invading Afghanistan and Iraq because a tiny minority of Muslim terrorists may have been in residence there. And the hatred of the Jews by the general public is nothing different than contemporary hatred of all Muslims and Arabs because of the actions of a few zealots. Why focus on the real aims and goals if they are so mundane as building oil and gas pipelines or taking oil reserves if you can "justify" your illegal, immoral and unjustified actions through race and ethnic hatred? Hitler was not unique; he represents the norm.

Hitler did not single out the Jews. In fact, Jews represent only a small minority of the people that were 'purged' in National Socialist 'racial cleansing' programs. When your nation is overpopulated and your economy is stretched to the breaking point, why not take care of the problems by eliminating those that no one wants around in any case? That has been the blueprint of 'civilization' since man first formed communities and then nations. Of the 18 million or so who died in the camps, only about 6 million were Jewish. Had the Red Army not repelled Operation Barbarossa, 10 to 20 million Slavs were targeted for extinction. The Serbs and Romas almost ceased to exist. Hitler and his cronies got a lot of their ideas from the US Bureau of Indian affairs as well as the British, French and Spanish campaigns in from their days of empire building. Hitler simply told his people that which they already believed and that which they wanted to, or at least were willing to, hear
