Why did Hitler get Jews?

For many reasons. He was an enemy to the Jews like Haman in the Bible: Because Haman the son of Hammedatha, the Agagite, the enemy of all the Jews, had devised against the Jews to destroy them, and had cast Pur, that is, the lot, to consume them, and to destroy them; (Esther 9.24) If you want a historical answer, it is that Hitler needed a scapegoat for Germany's problems after WWI, and the Jews made an ideal target. They had access to almost all of Germany's economy, since Jew's are known for their skill in finance, and, as the post WWI German economy was in ruin, and the people wanted something to blame, Hitler made an easy connection. Also, Hitler was slightly imbalanced, and, after trying his hand at art, and having his style criticized by a few Jews, developed a sort of "artist's vendetta."
