Before and during World War II, Jewish persons were persecuted by Nazis (and many other Germans) because of the German view that Jews were responsible for their economic hardships, even for their defeat in World War I. Such criticism of Jews can be traced back many centuries, but it led to especially violent (and horrific) persecution due to the keen hatred expressed by Hitler and other German leaders for Jews.
