The antisemitism during the Holocaust was just an exaggerated form of pre-Holocaust antisemitism.
Yes, and the Japanese were completely bewildered by antisemitism.
it affected them by the nazi starting the holocaust
Yes. Without long-standing prejudices against the Jews it would have been virtually impossible to demonize them in way that the Nazis did and to try to exterminate them. From a social and political point of view, one cannot simply pick on any group and exterminate it. It has often been said that antisemitism is as irrational as hating people with red hair, but of course 'redheads' have not been demonized and persecuted.
antisemitism is the longest hatred cause in history that still survives today. Among the most common manifestations of antisemitism throughout history were pogroms. The first such incident to be labeled a pogrom is believed to be anti-Jewish rioting in Odessa in 1821. That was in Russia. But this has been practice during millennial.
Antisemitism was one of the factors which led to the Holocaust.
It reached a peak in the Holocaust.

it is not. The people who perpetrated the Holocaust may have been, or the Holocaust may have some roots in antisemitism, but it is a name given to the events, it holds not prejudice, it just is.
Antisemitism was one factor in the Holocaust, but not the basis of it. Antisemitism is a term used to denote a prejudice against Jews, much like sexism denotes a prejudice against a sex, or racism a prejudice against a race.

The Holocaust has nothing to do with natural selection, or vice versa. The Holocaust was the result of atrocious crimes committed under the leadership of a few madmen, inspired by a long tradition of antisemitism. Natural selection is a model that describes differential reproductive success in natural populations, under natural circumstances.
The word antisemitism means prejudice against or hatred of Jews.
That notion is inaccurate. Nazi antisemitism was obsessive and hysterical, but the notion that the Holocaust itself was 'mass hysteria' is based on the mistaken assumption that the German population was howling for Jewish blood and the Nazi leadership obliged, so to speak. The Holocaust was not driven by the German population. It was driven by forces much higher up the hierarchy.
