Final answer:

Hitler scapegoated German Jews to gain power in Germany and carried out the Holocaust targeting both Jews and disabled individuals.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hitler’s rise to power in Germany was primarily contributed to by scapegoating German Jews. Hitler blamed them for Germany’s bad economy and defeat in World War I, tapping into the existing anti-Semitism in Europe. He used propaganda to convince Germans that Jews were a problem and that eliminating them would make for a better Germany and the world.

During the Holocaust, not only were Jews targeted, but also people with disabilities. The Nazis systematically killed disabled individuals as part of their eugenics program.

Hitler scapegoated Jews by blaming them for Germany's bad economy in World War 1. His reason was that most of the Jews in Germany were bankers or very wealthy.


Hitler also killed people who had disabilities. He believed that everyone in Germany must be part of his Aryan race, and so he killed all that he didn't deem "worthy".
