Why did Hitler persecute the Jews?

Video Description

Hitler’s persecution of the Jews was neither accidental nor isolated. From a young age, he absorbed antisemitic ideas that circulated throughout Europe, fueled by conspiracy theories, religious prejudice, and economic resentment. To him, Jews were an internal enemy, blamed for Germany’s moral decline, economic collapse, and defeat in World War I. Once in power, Hitler used propaganda to reinforce these stigmas, portraying Jews as an existential threat to Germany. The media, education system, and even cinema became tools of mass manipulation. Under his ideology, Jews were depicted as parasites that needed to be removed to achieve the “racial purity” of the German people. This obsession became state policy: racial laws, concentration camps, and eventually, the Holocaust. The persecution was not just about exclusion—it aimed at extermination. It was a systematic crime that left a permanent scar on human history. Welcome to The Kommandant, where you'll delve into exclusive documentaries on the Second World War.
