Anit-Semitism was actually a common sentiment in Europe and most of the world at the time. Germany was far from being the worst of culprits in persecution of the Jews. Hitler simply acted on his belief when he had the opportunity and power to do so, as did several other leaders, all supported by their countries and people (apart from the Jews that lived there, of course).

As to why the idea was so popular, it just was and always has been.

No. The primary reason that the Nazis killed the Jews was that viewed the Jews as vermin to be eradicated in much the same way as most people see mice as vermin to be eradicated.
