Anti-Semitism was used by the Nazis to gain political support. There was a tradition of a thousand years of anti-Semitism in Europe, so it seemed perfectly normal to most Europeans to base a political party on hatred of Jews. And the Germans found it very convenient to blame their own defeat in WW I on the Jews rather than accepting their own fallibility. The Nazis told the Germans that they belonged to a Master Race whose destiny was to kill or enslave all the lesser races, and this appealed to egotistical Germans who always knew they were better than everyone else, especially Jews.
