It is an oft asked question, there was not (as some tried to suggest) a specifically German thing about the Holocaust.
Germany, under the Nazis provided the breeding ground for many of the factors leading to the Holocaust, but it was only when the war came and the pressures of the eastern front that persecution turned to genocide.
There were many genocides carried out in Europe at the time of the Holocaust, the one in Yugoslavia, more brutal that the Holocaust may have happened under the protection of Germany, but was not instgated by Germany.
Many facets of the Holocaust were due to the problems created by underlying resentment from especially the last twenty years, but in some cases beyond.

Another view is that it was all because Hitler said so.
