Why did Jews historically face discrimination in Europe, even before the rise of

Nazi Germany?*

Step-by-step explanation:

The Holocaust was the murder of approximately six million Jews by the

Nazis and their collaborators. Between the German invasion of the Soviet

Union in the summer of 1941 and the end of the war in Europe in May

1945, Nazi Germany and its accomplices strove to murder every Jew

under their domination. Because Nazi discrimination against the Jews

began with Hitler's accession to power in January 1933, many historians

consider this the start of the Holocaust era. The Jews were not the only

victims of Hitler's regime, but they were the only group that the Nazis

sought to destroy entirely.
