the aryans considered themselves the epitome of men, anything not measuring up to the aryan standard was a sub-species and the further away for the ideal the less the race. this was a reason that in the pre-war Olympics when a black American outran the best athlete whom Hitler could offer, he was so enraged.
The Nazis dehuminize Jewish people, because they believed that they didn't help win the First World War, they then began to take away their well payed jobs and comfy homes, and put them in the worst areas of towns. The Nazis then began to exclude them from society and made it hard for them to fit in.
Demonization of the Jews has a long history.
From the 1870s on there was a wave of antisemitic conspiracy theories, claiming that the Jews were trying to dominate the world (!).
More specifically, the Nazis claimed that the Jews:
because he believed in a superhuman race that he tried to create, also because he was a sick twisted murdering antichrist he lied to his country to make them follow him while his true cause was hidden by a wave and a smile, he is hated by Germany and UK. better off dead and good ridance,

Jews, black people, the mentally disabled, gypsies, or anyone who did'nt fit the mythical "ayrian" stereotype.
they didn't, they categorised Jews as sub-human, there were many other groups in between Aryan and sub-human.
They didn't, they considered Aryans to be better than normal humans, like the British or the French, or the Scandinavians of the Japanese, but they did not consider them sub-human.
That were subhuman and they were after world dominance.

This is what we now call a propaganda technique. If you can convince a population that or any group of people that others are not people because of any particular characteristic, you can count on them to believe persecuting and killing them is the same as persecuting an animal. Useful for tyrants since the dawn of civilization.
It is racist and it may cause offence because it depicts those ideas the nazis had about 'untermenschen' (people considered subhuman or racially inferior). Nazis are widely disapproved of (so they should be).
It is easier to enslave or kill your current enemy if they are effectively marginalized.

No, the Nazies believed that Jews were "subhuman vermin" and should be exterminated like rats and roaches.
