How did the persecution of the Jewish people turn into a genocide?

The period of Nazi rule was characterized by rapidly intensifying radicalization. This may have been partly a result of Hitler's style of government: in many areas of policy he tended to let his subordinates guess what he wanted, and of course they competed to outdo one another. In particular the 'terror lobby' round Himmler and Heydrich became a major power within Germany, second only to the armed forces.
The Nazis' Jewish policy was, it seems, not very carefully thought out. In 1933-39, the Jews in Germany were very largely expelled from society and reduced to a position where they were unable to earn a living and unable to contribute much to society.
The Nazi invasion of Poland added large numbers to the Nazis' self-inflicted Jewish problem ... Heydrich ordered the occupation forces to move the Jewish population into ghettos situated near railway stations. Largely isolated in ghettos, most Jews in Poland were unable to contribute much to the economy.
At this stage it seems that the Nazi regime was still thinking of a 'territorial solution', that is dumping the Jews in Madagascar or (after the expected victory over the Soviet Union) east of the Urals.
Exactly what prompted the decision to commit genocide is not altogether clear. It may have been the realization that there was to be no quick victory over the Soviet Union or it may have been built into the wider campaign against "Jewish Bolshevism".
