Jew-hatred had been a part of society for years due to differences in religious

beliefs; jews were thought of as inferior. After WWI, debt caused desperation
in the german people. Hitler promised a better society and brought hope. He
took the ideas of an inferior race and made them his own and presented the
jews as evil. These ideas lead to the Holocaust and the unjust condemning
and murder of innocent people.
Cultural racism: Jews are an inferior race
Communism was seen as a threat because people were scared to lose their rights.: European communists were jews
(although not all jews are communist)
German desperation: debt from WWI caused desperation and hope in Hitler
Jews were condemned and hunted by German nazis
Jews were stored in concentration camps
Jews were starved, shot, poisoned, and burned alive
WWII
No this is not valid
German citizens were acting out of fear
Formation of axis powers is an example of people coming together over a
common belief similar to the Judges in the Crucible
Death camps and Concentration camps created similar fear to the
hangings during the Salem Witch Trials
Condemnation of innocent members of society due to a false belief
instinctual prejudice
Both punished or alienated people they believed were different and
embodied the devil
The Holocaust was ultimately a witch hunt because Hitler and the Nazis
searched the earth to capture these people that they believed would affect their
society in a negative way.
