Xenophobia originally meant a fear of foreigners, but has been broadened to mean a fear of any particular group of people. For this reason, antisemitism is typically considered xenophobia and Hitler is often used as an example of xenophobia.

But Xenophobia if found in all cultures and could be found in the mix of the history of every war ever fought. WW2 is just a favorite example of the present culture, but we could look at the British attempts at exterminating the Irish, the Arabic conquest of Persia and Northern Africa, the US and the American Indian, the Israeli-Arabic conflict, North Korea, the struggle in present day Iraq, and the list goes on and on ...
