Why was there Anti-Semitism after World War 1?

Answer 1

Germany was economically crippled and its people began blaming the economic problems on the Jews. When Hitler came to power in 1932, the National Socialist party came to power as Hitler arranged for the cleansing of Germany of ethnic groups outside of the Aryan race. The Nuremberg Laws were passed that limited the rights of ethnic minorities that primarily targeted Jews. Hitler and his henchmen then came up with the Final Solution, which was the brutal and inhumane eradication of Jews. Thousands of Jews fled Nazi persecution by fleeing to the United States and Palestine (which was a British mandate at the time). The Final Solution killed about 11 million people as people of Slavic or Jewish descent were sent to concentration camps were they were either worked to death, gassed, or were thrown in crematoriums. When Hitler invaded Poland in 1939, Poland fell to Nazi and Soviet forces. The Nazis then erected in Western Poland concentration camps as a part of their plan. When France was invaded by German and Italian forces in 1940, France submitted to Nazi authority. Two sectors were established where the nation of France once was: The German-occupied sector in the North and the Vichy France regime in the South. Although the Vichy French government was independent of Germany, it was basically just a somewhat fascist puppet state that helped Germany with her anti-semitistic plans. Jews in the Northern and Vichy sectors were sent to work camps in France similar to the concentration camps in Eastern Europe as several thousands perished there. In the Low Countries of Holland and Belgium, Jews were sent to concentration camps. The evil atrocities committed by the Nazis ended only after 1945 when Berlin fell to the Soviet forces. The Holocaust is somehing that is needed to be learned so as an atrocity against an ethnic minority should be prevented.
