Jews were a very convenient target for the Nazis to choose. When Christianity first swept through Europe, every tribal or ethnic group adopted it except for the Jews, who stubbornly insisted upon keeping their own religion. This was resented by Christians, and as a result there was over a thousand years of persecution of Jews even before the rise of the Nazi party. So, the Nazis were simply extending an existing tradition.
