Hitler’s hatred for the Jews started with the end of World War 1. Many areas of Europe and other parts witnessed anti-Jewish prejudice for a long period of time. Conspiracy and back-stabbing were the features of Hitler’s hatred. Jews were held to be responsible for the defeat of Germany in World War 1. In most parts of Europe, Jews were considered to be communists. Hitler was against the Jewish businessmen. Hitler believed the Jews to be the biological root of the movement of bolshevism and termed Jews as ‘bolshevists’ in his speeches. He also claimed Jews to be homosexuals who undermined Germans manliness as well as fighting spirit.

In Bavaria, some Jewish Marxists like Ernst Toller were a part of upheaval of 1918-1919. Their origins were exploited for propaganda. The new German republic was called a ‘Jewish republic’ by German nationalists. Subversion and communism were related to the Jews in Germany. Hitler considered Germans to be of superior race and Jews to an inferior one who were thought to be a threat to Germany’s strength and purity.

Another factor contributing to hatred towards Jews was jealousy due to being successful and holding high positions. When Germany was hit by and was facing worldwide economic depression, there was envy for the successful Jews. Germany’s economic problems were considered to be due to the Jews.

Another theory of Hitler’s hatred for Jews is considered to be due to his failure as an artist which he attributed to his Jewish professors rejecting him. Nazis wanted and visualized a German race excluding the Jews. In his speeches, Hitler termed the Jews as exploiter, robbers and destroyer of civilizations. Jewish hatred was used for unifying Germans and the creation of a German empire. Hitler used Jews as slave labors, annihilating them in chambers of gas.
