Answer:

this is what I found on google

Step-by-step explanation:

Antisemitism: an age-old phenomenon

Hitler did not invent the hatred of Jews. Jews in Europe had been victims of discrimination and persecution since the Middle Ages, often for religious reasons. Christians saw the Jewish faith as an aberration that had to be quashed. Jews were sometimes forced to convert or they were not allowed to practise certain professions.

In the nineteenth century, religion played a less important role. It was replaced by theories about the differences between races and peoples. The idea that Jews belonged to a different people than the Germans, for instance, caught on. Even Jews who had converted to Christianity were still 'different' because of their bloodline.

Hitler had very strong beliefs about pure-blooded Germans being the master race, known as the Aryan Race and considered Jews as the lowest form of human in his hierarchy of race, and classified them as ‘non Germans.’ Despite his beliefs, Jews had a history of living in Germany since 500 AD and even today, most Askenazic Jews have German surnames.

I am sorry for not finding things about Anne Frank, We havent studied much about it yet, I am an eightgrader
