Nazi prejudice against the Jewish people were focused primarily on the blame that Hitler had placed on them for huge things like the loss of World War 1. This, combined with the idea of racial supremacy and the Jewish inferiority, fueled horrendous actions.

In the early middle ages, almost every ethnic group in Europe converted to Christianity, and the one group that refused to do so was the Jews. This was deeply resented by Christians, and is still resented by some Christians to this day. Elaborate mythologies were developed about (supposedly) evil Jews. Many persecutions and mass killings of Jews happened in Europe for more than a thousand years before the Holocaust, so it was a very well established tradition. Hitler merely made use of the existing tradition to create a political base of support for himself. Irresponsible Germans loved the idea of blaming all their problems on Jews, thus exonerating themselves. Greedy Germans loved the chance to steal everything owned by Jews. Religiously bigoted Germans loved the chance to destroy a competing religious group.
