The holocaust was caused by Hitler in order to get rid of Jews. Adolf Hitler was a German leader born in Austria which was later annexed by Hitler and was called Anschluss.Hitler distrusted his generals and believed in anti-semitism which is the hostility or prejudice against jews which is one of the reasons he used them as scapegoats. Hitler’s leadership was very significant. He ended democracy in Germany by using the Weimar Republics weaknesses. He also used propaganda to try to make Germany anti-semitic and without him the Rhineland wouldn’t have been re-militarized because his relationship with his generals was complicated.
Hitler’s belief in anti-semitism greatly impacted Germany. He created concentration camps where millions of Jews died.” His establishment of concentration camps to inter Jews and other groups he believed to be a threat to Aryan supremacy resulted in the death of more than six million people in the Holocaust.”(Robert Cowley and Geoffrey Parker).

“He shunned serious, comprehensive intellectual effort and was largely ignorant of military affairs and foreign cultures. He tended to reject any information that did not fit with his (Often wildly inaccurate) preconceptions.Instead he relied on his instinct and a belief that the will to win would overcome every obstacle in the end.”(Dr Geoffrey Megargee). People feared that France and Britain would enforce the treaty so nobody wanted to do anything in fear that they would be outnumbered.

During the Holocaust, Adolf Hitler was the leader of the Nazi group (The Holocaust). In the year 1933, the German authorities attacked groups because of their racial inferior (The Holocaust). The Holocaust was so cruel that there were over 6 million Jews that were murdered (The Holocaust).Therefore, it was hard for other living Jews to return home (The Holocaust). This mass hysteria was expanded until 1945 when Adolf Hitler committed suicide (The Holocaust).
Hitler believed that the German people were part of an 'Aryan race,' a superior group that should be kept pure to fulfill their mission of ruling the world. He felt that the Jewish people were 'sub-human,' when in actuality they were virtually the same as his 'Aryan race.' Not only did Hitler have a personal hatred toward the Jewish people, but he also blamed them for 'stabbing Germany in the back' after Germany's defeat in World War I. Hitler used them as scapegoats because they were a minority and were easy to put the blame on. 'Historians agree that the Holocaust resulted from a confluence of various factors in a complex historical situation. That anti-Semitism festered throughout the centuries in European culture is centrally important; the Jews were (and are) a minority civilization in a majority environment. In periods of crisis, instead of searching for the solution of

He also offered up scapegoat for all of Germany’s problems….” also found, “Hitler’s influence spread”. The Holocaust started because of why they hated the Jews is because of Hitler and how he acted towards the Jews because of the race he thought they were when they were just a religion.
Hitler and his Nazi party made all of Germany believe that the Jewish were the products of the devil and all of the damages were done by the Jewish and as long as they were around, there would be no restoration of Germany. Also, Hitler deemed that Germans were the dominate race and Jewish were non-Aryan, impure people. The Treaty of Versailles sent Germany on an economic and food downfall in which the Holocaust would have gone up for. The economy of the German business would have gone up when no one was allowed to shop in Jewish business. The strict diet of those in the Ghettos would have meant there would be more food available for the Aryans

When Hitler became chancellor of Germany in 1933, he immediately began enforcing an authoritative state. An authoritative state is a state favoring or enforcing strict obedience to authority, especially that of the government, at the expense of personal freedom. Hitler started a world war to achieve his dream of world domination. The war left behind an estimated 72 million dead, among them 47 million civilians, of whom some six million were Jewish. Jews were the targets of the Holocaust because Hitler hated Jews and blamed them for all of the problems in the world. Throughout the years of the Holocaust, this is seen in many ways, starting from the Nazis having book burnings to get rid of un-German writings proclaiming the death of Jewish intellectualism all the way to the extremity of the mass murder of Jews. This process progressed rapidly, and it had lasting effects for the entire world.
In conclusion, Hitler caused WW II because of his actions. He abused his power as a leader to take control of the military and persecute the Jews. His military power helped spread out his empire and rule. As a result, the Holocaust involved all of the land conquered by the Nazi’s. It unfortunately killed a lot of Jews and other

The Holocaust and a war took place because of Adolf Hitler and his Nazi Party. They believed the Jewish people and other groups were inferior to the Germans and a threat to society (History.com). The Nazis thought of them as a race, and not a religious group (Berenbaum). They also blamed the Jewish for the country’s defeat in World War I in 1918. Because of this hatred towards the Jewish people, Adolf Hitler wanted a European war that would end the Jewish communities in Germany and cause racial purity and expansion of his power (History.com). Adolf Hitler gained his power to do so when he
Adolf Hitler came to power over Germany in January of 1933. He hated Jews and blamed them for everything bad that had ever happened to Germany. Hitler’s goal in life was to eliminate the Jewish population. With his rise to power in Germany, he would put into action his plan of elimination. This is not only why German Jews were the main target of the Holocaust, but why they were a large part of the years before, during, and after the Holocaust. Hitler’s “final solution” almost eliminated the Jewish population in Europe during World War II. At the end of the war and along with his suicide, the Jewish population would survive the horror known as the Holocaust and the Jews would eventually find their way back to their homeland of Israel
The Holocaust was one of the most despicable acts of crime committed in history. It was the slaughtering of six million Jews along with other minority groups. Anti-semitism was on the rise in Germany due to one man, Adolf Hitler. The Nazi leader is known to be one of the most infamous dictators that were able to rise to power. Leading Germany, Hitler improved the economy, started World War II with the idea of Lebensraum, and exterminated Jews due to youth anti-semitic influences.
One of the causes of the Holocaust was the need for a scapegoat. Like any thriving society Germany needed a lower class; a grouping of people that could be discriminated against. Hitler extended this to more than one group of people instead targeting everyone who wasn’t what he saw as perfect or in his words Aryan. He victimised everyone in society who did not fit his ideal vision and did this in his vision to unite Germany and make it a powerful country again. In every society there is a scapegoat or a group of people discriminated against based off of one or more differences. After suffering great losses in the war Germany was in turmoil. In 1923 the country was facing an economic crisis of epic proportions. Unemployment rates had skyrocketed as did inflation making money useless. Along with economic trouble the German people had lost faith in their leaders and their government, forced into democracy and the Treaty of Versailles in 1919 they were prime and ready for Hitler to take control and were happy when he did. The first thing hitler did when he took power was find an enemy. Using this strategy he united the German people against others and gave them faith in their leaders. He used it to start his campaign and it propelled him to control. His
Hitler had shown unwillingness to tolerate the Jews and once he was appointed Chancellor, he started to take elimination measures like deportation, forced emigration, and isolation to enforce his belief. He took advantage of Germany’s weakness in World War One, then used it as an opportunity to blame the Jews for Germany’s defeat. Hitler’s political party was the largest political party in Germany thus allowing them to draw very large crowds to gatherings. He had very good oratory speeches with hand gestures that easily manipulated people to adhere to his views. Hitler constantly targeted the Jews because he knew people believed in these speeches. People in Germany were already anti-semitic but Hitler made it worse by constantly consuming them in his speeches. From the way he spoke about the Jews, we could clearly see the possibility of genocide. Hitler wanted Germany to be free of any humans that anyone other than his ideal master race so he personally selected bodyguards to be part of a group called the SS. Hitler was responsible for ordering the SS to carry out the extermination of anyone who did not fit this ideal. The SS handled oppositions using force and as a result of which people were forced to give into the idea of violence. Sometimes people purposely went along with this Holocaust ideal due to the fear of getting killed. These terrors allowed the holocaust occur
