The emergence of Christianity as the ominant religion in Europe intensified the persecution of Jews. Since both the religious and political life of Europe became organized around the Christian faith, Jews were seen as outcasts, the deniers and "killers" of Christ. For millions of European Christians, for over 1600 years, the hatred and persecution of Jews was religiously sanctioned. antisemitism intensified during the l9 th and 20th century industrialization of Europe as Jews participated more directly in European economic and social life.

Jews were persecuted because he blamed them for all the bad in life. When his mother died, the doctor was a Jew. Hitler did not view them as the perfect race and thought they had many flaws. He had to blame a certain race, and Europe had always used the Jews as a scapegoat, so it seemed like an easy solution.
