When Hitler and the Nazis came to power in 1933, no programme for genocide had been delivered; this system was to arrive with the increased technology facilitated by warfare. But anti-semitism - and the concept of racial purity - was a significant aspect of the Nazi promise of recovery made to a nation ravaged by World War One. The Jews were the primary target in Nazi ideology; they were believed to stand directly in the path of Germany's progress, and they were the main subject of Nazi conspiracy theories.\n\nBeginning with small-scale persecution, the Nazis followed with legal measures to exclude Jews from German society. The Nuremberg Laws of 1935 denied German citizenship to anyone Jewish. With anti-semitism came the need to classify race; German schoolchildren were instructed on how to identify a Jew by shape of nose, mouth and cranium. They were given picture books to read, warning them against the so-called dangers of association with Jewish children. Anyone with 'one-eighth Jewish blood' (a Jewish grandparent) was considered a Jew. Propaganda became rife: a film was released that compared Jews to rats.\n\nA conference of ministers was held on August 20, 1935, to discuss the economic effects of Party actions against Jews. Adolf Wagner, the Party representative at the conference, argued that such actions would cease, once the Government decided on a firm policy against the Jews. \n\nDr. Schacht, the Economics Minister, criticized arbitrary behavior by Party members as this inhibited his policy of rebuilding Germany's economy. It made no economic sense since Jews had certain entrepreneurial skills that could be usefully employed to further his policies. Schacht made no moral condemnation of Jewish policy and advocated the passing of legislation to clarify the situation. \n\nThe following month two measures were announced at the annual Party Rally in Nuremberg, becoming known as the Nuremberg Laws. Both measures were hastily improvised (there was even a shortage of drafting paper so that menu cards had to be used) and Jewish experts from the Ministry of the Interior were ordered to Nuremberg by plane. \n\nThe first law, The Law for the Protection of German Blood and German Honor, prohibited marriages and extra-marital intercourse between “Jews ” (the name was now officially used in place of “non-Aryans ”) and “Germans ” and also the employment of “German ” females under forty-five in Jewish households. The second law, The Reich Citizenship Law, stripped Jews of their German citizenship and introduced a new distinction between “Reich citizens ” and “nationals.” \n\nThe Nuremberg Laws by their general nature formalized the unofficial and particular measures taken against Jews up to 1935. The Nazi leaders made a point of stressing the consistency of this legislation with the Party program which demanded that Jews should be deprived of their rights as citizens.

For centuries, Jews had faced persecution, and were often forced to live in designated areas called ghettos . \n\nThe Nazis' ghettos differed, however, in that they were a preliminary step in the annihilation of the Jews, rather than a method to just isolate them from the rest of society. As the war against the Jews progressed, the ghettos became transition areas, used as collection points for deportation to death camps and concentration camps .  \n \nHitler incorporated the western part of Poland into Germany according to race doctrine. He intended that Poles were to become the slaves of Germany and that the two million Jews therein were to be concentrated in ghettos in Poland's larger cities. Later this would simplify transport to the death camps. Nazi occupation authorities officially told the story that Jews were natural carriers of all types of diseases, especially typhus, and that it was necessary to isolate Jews from the Polish community. Jewish neighborhoods thus were transformed into prisons. The five major ghettos were located in Warsaw , Lódz, Kraków, Lublin, and Lvov. \n\nOn November 23, 1939 General Governor Hans Frank issued an ordinance that Jews ten years of age and older living in the General Government  had to wear the Star of David on armbands or pinned to the chest or back. This made the identification of Jews easier when the Nazis began issuing orders establishing ghettos. \n\nIn total, the Nazis established 356 ghettos in Poland, the Soviet Union, the Baltic States, Czechoslovakia, Romania, and Hungary between 1939 and 1945. There was no uniformity to these ghettos. The ghettos in small towns were generally not sealed off, which was often a temporary measure used until the residents could be sent to bigger ghettos. \nLarger cities had closed ghettos, with brick or stone walls, wooden fences, and barbed wire defining the boundaries. Guards were placed strategically at gateways and other boundary openings. Jews were not allowed to leave the so-called "Jewish residential districts," under penalty of death. \n\nAll ghettos had the most appalling, inhuman living conditions. The smallest ghetto housed approximately 3,000 people. Warsaw, the largest ghetto, held 400,000 people. Lódz, the second largest, held about 160,000. Other Polish cities with large Jewish ghettos included Bialystok, Czestochowa, Kielce, Kraków, Lublin, Lvóv, Radom, and Vilna. \n\nMany of the ghetto dwellers were from the local area. Others were from neighboring villages. In October 1941, general deportations began from Germany to major ghettos in Poland and further east. Also, Jews from Austria and the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia were sent to the ghettos. \n Ghetto life was wretched. The ghettos were filthy, with poor sanitation. Extreme overcrowding forced many people to share a room. Disease was rampant. Staying warm was difficult during bitter cold winters without adequate warm clothes and heating fuel. Food was in such short supply that many slowly starved to death. \n\n Additional notes on ghetto nutrition including examples of daily caloric rations. \n\nEven in the midst of these horrible conditions, many ghetto dwellers resisted dehumanization. Parents continued to educate their children, although it was considered an illegal activity. Some residents secretly continued to hold religious services and observe Jewish holidays. \n\nThe Nazis established the Theresienstadt  (or Terezín) ghetto in northwestern Czechoslovakia as a so-called model Jewish settlement to counter rumors in the international community about the poor conditions in the ghettos. Flower gardens, cafés, and schools were constructed to demonstrate to visiting International Red Cross inspectors and audiences of Nazi propaganda films the humane conditions of a "typical" ghetto. Terezín also functioned as a transit camp for many who were later sent to Auschwitz or other death camps.

Ignorance, bigotry, hatred, and fear. \nHitler used this to his advantage from 1933 to 1945 by telling the Germans that their lives would be better without Jewish people, homosexuals, and gypsies. Evangelical Christians use ignorance, bigotry, hatred, and fear for their own advantage today by telling their followers that their lives would be better without the prevalence of homosexuality. The Bible also says not to shave, get a tattoo, eat pork or shellfish but the evangelicals know that ignorance, bigotry, hatred, and fear won't work for them in those cases.

November 9th, 1938, Pillaging and literally breaking of glass, windows, shops, synagogues, etc by the Nazis in Jewish sections throughout Germany and Austria.  WW2 didn't officially break out till 10 months later Sept. 1st 1939, when Hitler invaded Poland but Kristallnacht was a prelude of what was to come.\n\nMore info at this link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kristallnacht

I am Greek and i believe that there are small number of people who hate Jews. And they hate them because they aren't well educated. Many people hate the government of Israel but this is something differed. They hate any militaristic government including US or UK or Italian they hate war and thats all.

The Holocaust was more than a Jewish event. Records kept by the Germans prove they exterminated millions of Communists, Czechs, Greeks, Gypsies, homosexuals, Jehovah's Witnesses, mentally and physically handicapped, Poles, resistance fighters, Russians, Serbs, Socialists, Spanish Republicans, trade unionists, Ukrainians, Yugoslavians, prisoners of war of many nations, and still others whose identity may never be recognized. Their victims, according to one survivor of four different concentration camps, "were of some thirty nationalities, from Nepalese to Andorrans, and of a variety of racial and linguistic stocks ranging from Basques to Buriats and from Ladinos to Lapps". When people were not immediately exterminated, they were sent to work and/or concentration camps. There the prisoners were divided into six penal categories and given patches on their clothing for identification purposes. Ordinary criminals were assigned green; political prisoners wore red; black was worn by asocials (slackers, prostitutes, procurers, etc.); homosexuals wore pink; conscientious objectors wore purple, and the Jewish people wore yellow.\n\nOh and by the way Hitler was NOT of the jewish faith ... Hitler, himself, was a Catholic.

when it is the "public opinion" given by a seated government, in the name of its people.\nIE  1939 it was "public opinion" that Jewish people were a scourge that had to be eradicated.\nThis by a man half Jew.

Yes.\nThere's also plenty of anti-semitism out in the open in Britain.  London's mayor, Ken Livingstone, has (very) publicly uttered many anti-semitic comments.

Anti-Semitism is dislike of Jews.  Examples of what Germans did to the Jews would be forcing them to wear identification marks, confiscation of property, deportation to concentration camps, and eventual extermination in the gas chambers.\n\nSome Jews left Europe for other lands or attempted to hide, but there was actually little resistance given the magnitude of what happened.\n\nTwo main concentration camps were Auschwitz and Dachau.  Able-bodied Jews were used as forced labor; most were exterminated.  In addition, other Eastern Europeans as well as homosexuals were put to death.\n\nThe three main Jewish holy days (not including Rosh Hashanah, which is the Jewish New Year) would be:\n\nPassover - Comes from Biblical tale of the exodus from Egypt, when the Tenth Plague exterminated the first born of Egypt but spared the Hebrews who had put lamb's blood on the door frames of their homes.  On that night, Hebrews were to eat bitter herbs (reminder of slavery) and unleavened bread (haste of leaving Egypt and not having time to let the bread rise).\n\nYom Kippur - Jewish Day of Atonement\n\nHannukah - Festival of Lights, deals with the rededication of the Temple in Jerusalem after Judas Maccabeus and his brothers helped defeat the Seleucid Greeks.

The Law for the Restoration of the Professional Civil Service, the first law meant to discriminate specifically against Jews is passed by the National Socialist regime in Germany. \n\nProhibition was repealed for beer of 3.2% alcohol by weight or 4% by volume, eight months before the full repeal of Prohibition on December 5, 1933.

Kosher (kashrut or kashruth) is the name of Jewish dietary laws. These set of laws regulate what a Jewish person can and cannot eat on certain days. For example, on some days you cannot eat meat along with milk. In English as slang, it generally means legitimate, acceptable, permissible, genuine or authentic.

In 1936, Jews were banned from all professional jobs, effectively preventing them exerting any influence in education, politics, higher education and industry. On 15 November of 1938, Jewish children were banned from going to normal schools. By April 1939, nearly all Jewish companies had either collapsed under financial pressure and declining profits, or had been forced to sell out to the Nazi-German government as part of the "Aryanization" policy inaugurated in 1937.\n\nAs the war started, large massacres of Jews took place, and, by December 1941, Hitler decided to completely exterminate European Jews. In January 1942, during the Wannsee conference, several Nazi leaders discussed the details of the "Final Solution of the Jewish question" (Endlösung der Judenfrage). Dr. Josef Bühler urged Reinhard Heydrich to proceed with the Final Solution in the General Government. They began to systematically deport Jewish populations from the ghettos and all occupied territories to the seven camps designated as Vernichtungslager, or extermination camps: Auschwitz, Belzec, Chelmno, Majdanek, Maly Trostenets, Sobibór and Treblinka II. Sebastian Haffner published the analysis in 1978 that Hitler from December 1941 accepted the failure of his goal to dominate Europe forever on his declaration of war against the United States, but that his withdrawal and apparent calm thereafter was sustained by the achievement of his second goal—the extermination of the Jews.\n------------------------------------------------------------\nJews were the main victims. One could say their role was to be rounded up like cattle to concentration camps or death camps.\nAdded:\nAs for communities, they were started in other countries where the Jews fled to. After the second world war.

Jews weren't the only ones, there were plenty of others killed by the nazis in their quest for world domination and the perfect race.  But the jewish people were predominatly the ones that were victimized and had the largest numbers killed.  The why is simple, hatred of something they didn't understand and scapegoating a race of people just so they could have someone to blame for germanys ills.
