Adolf Hitler came to power in Germany in January 1933. He hated the Jews and blamed them for all the bad that had ever happened in Germany. Hitler's goal in life was to eliminate the Jewish population. With his rise to power in Germany, he will implement his plan of elimination. This is not only why German Jews were the primary target of the Holocaust, but also why they were so for much of the years before, during, and after the Holocaust. Hitler's "final solution" nearly 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 and find new communities to call home. Power before World War II was due to his anger at Germany's defeat in World War I and the punishment Germany received from Britain and France. He also directed his anger at the Jews and Communists who he believed had contributed to that defeat. He blamed them for the loss of World War I, which he thought was a Jewish conspiracy (Jews in Nazi Germany p. 1). He also believed that the Treaty of Versailles was a Jewish conspiracy designed to bring down the country of Germany (The Jews in Nazi Germany p. 1) as well as the hyperinflation of 1923, which he believed was an international conspiracy by the Jewish people (The Jews in Germany Nazi page 2). On January 30, 1933, Adolf Hitler became Chancellor of Germany (The History Place: Holocaust Timeline page 1). This was the rise to power he needed to advance his evil campaign against the Jewish people. After his rise to power, Hitler called Jews sub-human, also known as "Untermen... middle of paper... this theory is why it is so important to people all over the world." to remember what happened to the Jewish people during the Holocaust. The onset of the Holocaust was a gradual process, and the years that passed during the Holocaust were indescribable. No Jew involved knew whether there would ever be an end to their torture. As previously stated, this was the most horrific story of genocide in history. Everyone should pray that this never happens again. Works Cited Gilbert, Martin. World War II: New York: H. Holt, 1989.
