Hitler needed a political lever to gain power. He took advantage of German prejudices and blamed all the troubles of Germany (very high inflation among others) on Jews and other minorities. Part of the prejudice against Jews came from the fact that Christian rulers for a long time banned usury, which we think of making too much money from loaning money, as being the loaning of money at any interest, so people hated the ones who did loan money - the Jewish population.

Well like in Poland Jews increased their numbers since Poland wanted them to come to help the country and they became oh to successful and everyone was jealous or fearful thinking they would take over the country next. I think Hitler had these problems being insecure and lacking some sort of idenity for the German people he found a self fulfilling prophecy he fed and creating as he went. I imagine he had a host of people to feed into it as well. Remember this hate has been around for a long time!
Poland sent all the Jews to krakow in the 1800s
Iran has had a history of trying to rid the world of Jews as well and the past seems to be present again with Iran. Just remember Aryan was the name for Iran and it's people. Hitler had ties to Iran. This picture seems bigger than what we may know or what we are not expecting.

For some time the word through out Europe, and really not so much the middle east, was the hated practice of the jews and their business and money dealings ( which they were gifted at) They were money lenders, remember the payment of the " pound of flesh" from the time of Moses, they were subject to the blessings for obedience, and the curse of dis-obedience. Christains also suffer their disobedience. Hitler just used the built up hatred to gain popularity with the people. Our own politicos do likewise to their people that send them to appointments and office.

They were very shrewed and capable of building real financial wealth throughout Europe during the 20's & 30's.
In doing so they controlled alot of the markets in Real Estate, commerce,and so on. At the same time ,the German society was taking an economical licking and near collapse.
Hitler saw a reason to go in and save his countrymen from such a disaster by blaming the Jews for the pressure that was put on them.
As was proven Hitler had some way over the top ways of taking care of this so called imbalance!

They existed. That was enough for Hitler. Jews have long been made scapegoats by many radical groups that felt oppressed or kept down in some way. Given the economic conditions that Hitler grew up in back in the day in Germany, the Jews were the easiest people to blame - people had been doing it for a long time anyway.

Wow! Do you always blame the victims when something terrible happens? Adolph Hitler was a psychotic! Doesn't anyone understand the concept of psychosis? He was insane! But he was also very clever and was able to use rhetorical tricks to bind the German people to him. He flattered them and told them they were the best people on earth and if they were not doing well in their lives, it was because of the greedy Jews. He hated Jews and gypsys and gays and Catholic priests and nuns; anyone he thought wasn't pure enough for him and his "race". AND FOR THE 100TH TIME, HITLER WAS NOT JEWISH! THERE WAS NO JEWISH BLOOD IN HIS FAMILY AT ALL! Anyone who perpetrates this nonsensical lie is being purposely obtuse and refusing to believe what is true. HITLER WAS NOT JEWISH!

Hitler simply needed someone to unit the German people with. They were suffering horribly with a cart load of German marks to buy one loaf of bread. He needed to point to some one or group and get them identified as the cause for all the Germany's problems. They could unite to hate Jews as the cause of everything that was bad in their lives. It is the easiest way to do it.

Actually Hitler was so bedeviled by his own personal demons that they to a large extent controlled ALL his responses to everything.
Did you know that he wanted to be an artist? In his teens he attempted to get into a prestigious academy in Salzsberg but failed the entrance examination. His submission was labeled "pedestrian" and "trite". The examiner who held the deciding vote was Jewish. Revenge for THAT slight became an obsession and when he attained power he used the prevailing anti-Semitism of Germany to its fullest extent. Sadly, between his failure at the academy and his "Final Solution", the professor who'd down-checked him had already died. I bet THAT chapped Hitler's lips. Didn't stop him, though.

Hitler's way of society was the opposite of the kind of society Marx invented, and Marx was a Jew. Hitler thought that all of them were like this, and so developed a stereotype. and obviously he wasn't right in the head anyway.

Nice. Jews didn't "do" one single, solitary thing to "make" Hitler hate them. He was sick and deranged and deluded. He was filled with hate to begin with. HE WAS ALSO PART JEWISH. He chose Jews as one of his targets simply because his sick mind focused on them as his scapegoats.
