The holocaust came to be because the United Nations blamed Germany for starting World War 1. Germany had to pay all the repercussions of World War 1 and the germanic people were shamed for being German. inflation rose in Germany which was caused by mass producing money to pay off debts. Hitler tried taking the power by force and was jailed the first time. the second time he played by the election rules and promised change for the German people. he also wrote a book while in prison called Mien Kampf. when he came to power he started passing laws to change how Germany is viewed. some of these laws included Burning books, making Jews wear the David star on their clothes, sending them to their own poorly maintained communities and eventually Prison camps, and the execution of Jews, resulting in the Holocaust
