Debate

Holocaust Memorial Bill

Contribution

Hitler believed that Germany lost the First World War because it was stabbed in the back by various groups, including the Jews. Even way back in 1920, he compared Jews to germs, stating that diseases cannot be controlled unless you destroy their causes. He said that the influence of the Jews would never disappear without removing its cause—the Jew—from our midst. Hitler blamed the Jews for everything that was wrong with the world. Germany was weak and in decline due to Jewish influence. According to Hitler, the Jews were after world dominance and they would not hesitate to use all possible means, including capitalism. In this way, he took advantage of the existing prejudice that linked Jews to monetary power and financial gain.
