After WW 1, a combination of greed and revanchist sentiments made Britain and France draw up a peace treaty (the Treaty of Versailles, 1919) that plunged Germany into years of political and economic chaos and poverty. A kind of latent antisemitism had always been there in Europe, although countries like Russia with its progroms and France were much more antisemitic than Germany.
In most European countries (and by the way, also in the USA) there was no violence against Jews but a generally held superstition that Jews could not always be trusted and were very much focused on self-interest. So when Germany started looking around for scapegoats who had got them into their mess, they readily believed a number of well-respected right-wing authors who wrote that "world-wide Jewry" had been active Behind the Scenes to rob Germany blind through the immense war damage payments that Germany had to make.
Adolf Hitler had been born and bred in Austria, a country with a much more anti-semitic culture before WW 1 than Germany. So he readily believed what he read or heard on this subject. In consequence, anti-Semitic rantings became a feature of his speeches and writings early on. From blaming 'world-wide Jewry' to blaming the Jews living in Germany was then a small step to take.
