The Holocaust

5 of 11

Jews have suffered from hatred throughout history from many.
Jealous: Many were business owners and didn’t suffer as much as others in the Depression
Many Jews were Communist and Socialist. Hitler hated that. Those were weak governments for weak people.
Scapegoat- Hitler blamed Jews for the loss of WWI because they helped with the Communist Revolution, at least that’s one of the many things he said about them.
He LOVED his momma. The Jewish doctors were unable to help his mom and her struggles with cancer. She died a painful death at 47.
Part of the Jewish faith is to help those who

can’t help themselves. Hitler believed in survival of

the fittest. The weak shouldn’t survive.

Lebensraum “living space”: Germans needed room
