Question

Why did hitler and the nazi party hate the jews to the point of planning to exterminate the entire jewish race?

Answer 1

After the end of WWI, Germany was punished with taking responsibility for the damage the war created and they had to pay money to other countries for the damage. Well, Hitler, along with many Germans, were very angry about this punishment. This led to Germany's own "Great Depression". Seeing how much the people were struggling, he wanted to do something about it. At the time, the population of Jewish people was the minority group and used them as a scapegoat. This is where Nazi ideology became a thing which marked Jewish people as "evil witches with big noses", etc. Hitler's main point though was that the Jews were the problem to Germany's suffering and how the Jews were "different" than they were.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Nazi's also wanted to eliminate homosexuals, and other races that weren't seen as "racially-pure"

There are many things that could be said, but this is just some examples. I took a history of the Holocaust class and I could say way more, but I don't think you want a whole book or whatever lol.

Hope this helps you! :)

Answer 2

Although up till date, no concrete evidence of Hitler's order to exterminate was found, it can be said of his intents in his widely published book, Mein Kampf.

Antisemitism arose due to the positions of the Jews in societies, and more so aggravated following the 1929 Great Depression. As such, the Nazis promised a state where there was German purity (Aryan race) and sought to eliminate other races as part of their master-race ideology. Other than Jews who were eliminated out of this nationalistic clause, other "sub races" deemed unfit for the Nazi Party included the gypies and slavs, who suffered greatly under Nazi authority during WW2.
