It began with a simple boycott of Jewish shops and ended in
the gas chambers at Auschwitz as Adolf Hitler and his Nazi
followers attempted to exterminate the entire Jewish
population of Europe.
In January 1933, after a bitter ten-year political struggle,
Adolf Hitler came to power in Germany. During his rise to
power, Hitler had repeatedly blamed the Jews for Germany's
defeat in World War I and subsequent economic hardships.
Hitler also put forward racial theories asserting that Germans
with fair skin, blond hair and blue eyes were the supreme
form of human, or master race. The Jews, according to Hitler,
were the racial opposite, and were actively engaged in an
international conspiracy to keep this master race from
assuming its rightful position as rulers of the world.
Jews at this time composed only about one percent of
Germany's population of 55 million persons. German Jews
were mostly cosmopolitan in nature and proudly considered
themselves to be Germans by nationality and Jews only by
religion. They had lived in Germany for centuries, fought

bravely for the Fatherland in its wars and prospered in

numerous professions.
