Germany and World War 1
The Treaty of Versailles ended World War 1. The treaty, presented by Europe to Germany, stated that Germany was responsible for starting the war. Which was extremely humiliating and unfair to the German people. Not only were the Germans embarrassed, they were told they also make enormous payments to Europe for all the damage caused. Germany also lost a lot of its land and its military was made limited in size. On top of all that Germany had to bear the loss of millions of their soldiers from the war.

Economic and Political Problems
Hyperinflation during the 1920's in Germany caused major havoc for many Germans. The entire country's currency went crazy. People's savings in the bank became worthless. World War 1 debts lead to inflation in Germany. The after effect of the war was destroying Germany. The hyperinflationary period and the great depression combined made things much worse. Currency became worthless and many innocent citizens lost all of their personal savings. Also many people become unemployed.

The Nazi Party
Adolf Hitler became chancellor and the Nazi's started eliminating individual freedoms. Germans were given basic rights, but Jews were not. Everything became under Nazi control. Soon, the Nazis began to ostracize Jews from their jobs. Not to long after the Nazi party became the only political party in Germany.

Anti-Semitism
"The word Anti-Semitism means prejudice against or hatred of Jews." The Holocaust is the most extreme example of anti-Semitism. The government even encouraged hatred against Jews. Jews were murdered and huge riots began against the Jews. Jews were considered disloyal citizens and began to be ostracized by the Nazis.

__ [] __ Anti-Semitism exists because of the "Jewish Question". The "Jewish question" is the "issue of relationships between Jews and Non-Jews". Anti-Semitism exists because people think that just because Jews are different they should be outcastes. Jews understand that they are different then others and should just accept themselves and stop pretending to have different lifestyles and goals. Although, it is wrong that there is such a strong hatred for Jews when they are just people with different beliefs.
