basically because they could, the Jews only constituted one per cent of the population. There was growing anger, especially within the working class, about the poor Jewish imigrants coming over from the East. The Jews has no state or no statesman to speak uo for them, so they were an easy target.

Politically, it helped to have a target that people had historically ostracized. It was just on a larger scale than having Jews live outside the wall of a city. On an economic side, many Jews were wealthy, had art collections and wonderful homes that could be transferred to Nazi ownership.
