How did Hitler turn everyone against Jews and why?

Answer 1

Answer

He didn't have to, they did anyway. First, prejudice against Jews was "in the air" in the 1920s anyway. Hitler didn't have to create those bad feelings, just channel them and amplify them. For example, when the stock marketcrashed and the Depression hit in the 1930s, no one really understood what had happened. It was easy to point to the already-disliked Jews and focus the blame on them. Second, the influence of Charles Darwin's evoluation was being felt and eugenics (selective breeding of humans) was considered forward-thinking and progressive in the early 20th century. Hitler used a lot of the language of eugenics to encourage Germans to extremes of nationalism with the excuse that it would help improve the German "race," like breeding thoroughbred horses. Again, he didn't invent the ideas of evoluation and eugenics, but he manipulated existing public opinion to a high degree. This helped the German people become callous towards the mentally retarded, non-Germans (like Jews and Gypsies), and others considered "undesireable" to improving the German race. This paved the way for Germans to co-operate with the Holocaust.

Answer

I am part German and my grandmother is German and no one ever hated her.

Answer 2

The people turned them in themselves.

How and what kind of payment did the Nazi's pay for turning a Jewish person/sympathizer?

Also same punishment as the Jews would get for hiding a Jewish person.

Answer 3

He didn't "persuade" them. Anti-semitism had a long history in Europe, and to some extent, still is present. Getting Germans to hate Jews in the era of WWII was like getting pioneers to hate Native Americans in the 19th century, or whites to hate blacks up till the sixties - easy.

Answer 4

I do not think it was all that difficult once Hitler showed the German people how the Jew's were taking control of commerce and dominating over their country. Consider this ..the German's were the victim's of a race of people who called themselves the chosen race, this chosen race had a different set of rule's that applied to them and not the Gentile's ..Gentile's , everybody other then a Jew were not on the same level as the Jew, thus not deserving of respect or to be treated honorably Hitler saw what was going on and once he came into power he offered them exit from the country ..The Jew's of course stood their ground , even though it was not theirs to stand on , Hitler did what he had to do to ones who were defiant and dealt with them with the respect that would be given to the gentile by the Jew ..

Answer 5

Hitler set out to drive Jews from Germany. In 1935, the Nuremberg Laws placed severe restrictions on Jews. Many German Jews fled Germany and sought refuge in other countries. In 1938, Nazi-led mobs attacked Jewish communities all over Germany in what came to be called Kristallnacht, or the "Night of Broken Glass." Hitler sent tens of thousands of Jews to concentration camps, detention centers for civilians considered enemies of the state. Hitler planned the "final solution," which was the extermination of all Jews.

Answer 6

Propaganda, he used a great deal of it to show how they were the enemy since they had money during the depression.

Answer 7

he didn't really, one reason that he picked the Jews to attack was the fact that the gentile population already had an unfavourable opinion of them.

Answer 8

Incessant propaganda and demonization.
