What were the steps taken by Hitler for the death of Jews?
This can be argued in many ways; it is easy to now look back and say that all of his anti-Jewish rhetoric was a step for the death of Jews, but the evidence does not support that. One could also argue that he took no steps for the death of Jews, that everything he did was an effort to remove Jews from society, that everything to do with the murder of Jews came from others. The 'truth' no doubt is somewhere in betweeen, but because there was no paper-trail we will never know.

Hi
The Germans had a long history of antisemitism even before world war two.The second world war marked the extermination of 6 million Jews.Although some Germans were good people it is correct to say the German nation in its entirety was guilty of the extermination of the Jews.First because the Nazis rise to power was the result of a German vox populi.Second because even if you didn't do anything you are still guilty.Bystanders can be considered guilty for "in order for evil to prevail good men must do nothing".
This bystanding ecuation can be applied to the whole world as none of the nations of the world at that time accepted to give refuge to the Jews.
However it would be a mistake to blame the current generations for the holocaust.A son cannot be blamed for his son mistakes.
If anything the holocaust should be studied and we must make sure something like that never happens!
Hope this answers your question

A mischling was a person of mixed Jewish ancestory who lived in Nazi Germany. Under the Nuremberg laws, a Jew was someone who had three or more Jewish grandparents, or who had two Jewish grandparents and either practiced Judaism or was married to a Jew. Mischlings rose to very prominent positions in Nazi Germany, even the Ideal German Campaign's posterchild was a first degree mischling. There were two degrees of being a Mischlinge. A first degree misclinge had two Jewish grandparents. A second degree Mischlinge had only one Jewish granparent. So the least you need to know is that a mischling was one who was open about their Jewish ancestory (1/2 to 1/4), but was not considered a Jew under the Nuremberg laws. The above answer claims that 'Mischlings rose to very prominent positions in Nazi Germany'. In fact, any 'Mischling' [with two Jewish grandparents] who wanted to stay a decent job in Nazi Germany had to apply for 'Aryanization' and in most cases the relevant certificate had to be signed by Hitler in person and such certificates were very hard to get. For those who didn't have these rare certificates, life in the Third Reich was precarious.
