The Holocaust was motivated by ethnic selfishness. The Nazis figured that they could murder all the Jews of Europe, blame the Jews for all the problems in the world, and then steal everything that the Jews owned, to their own great enrichment. Even the bodies of murdered Jews were a source of profit. Some people had gold fillings in their teeth, some people had long hair that could be sold to wig makers, fat could be used to make soap, skin could be used to make leather.

Could a person write a 5 page paper on Hitlers reasons behind the holocaust?

It's a pretty big and explosive topic. 5 pages on the holocaust, easily, on his reasoning and motivation - harder. Sadly, for the most part Hitler's "reasoning" behind the Holocaust can be found in the pages of his book Mein Kampf. It's full version is about 800 pages. With that said, different sized versions of the book have been published. As an aside, before he became the "dictator" he often ran into income tax problems over his income from the book. That problem of course ended in 1933.
