Germans, being Germans came up with a simple system to identify undesirables. The camps weren't an exclusively Jewish phenomena, and some of the early death camp work was done on the disabled & mentally ill. Once euthanased, they were no longer a burden on the state.
As for the rest, TL;DR version.. Hitler was a batshit crazy but highly charasmatic leader who surrounded himself with sycophants that went along with his ideas.
Longer version.. He probably got shaped by his experiences in Vienna, the general background of racism and fear of immigration (any of this sounding familiar?) then Germany's defeat in WW1, and the way they were punished by the Treaty of Versailles. Then after the war, he got political with the NSDAP which blamed the Marxists and Jews for pretty much everything.. So rather thoroughly radicalised.
Then came the beer hall killings.. Which probably helped the rise of Hitler's power & the NSDAP, ie an unhealthy mix of alchohol and vitriol. But it worked on a sense that Germany's failure was someone else's fault and he could do a better job. Sadly that didn't result in Hitler's death, but gave him the chance to write 'Mein Kampf' whilst sitting in jail.
That kind of explains Hitler's mindset (batshit crazy) and reminds me that there's a new print of that complete with explanatory notes.. It's not exactly an easy read, but worth it if you want to try to understand the beginnings.
Then after leaving jail, he assumed control of the NSDAP, took advantage of the depression and steadily rose to power. Hopefully it's not something that could ever happen again because thanks to modern communications, it's easier to find out about whats going on and put a stop to it.”

I saw Mein Kampf when it was performed at a theatre in London years ago where I was working at the time and went in to watch it one evening, it was creepy as all hell as they unfurled Swastikas at one part of the play all round the auditorium to make it part of the performance, it really made your spine shiver




Sure. It's much easier to co-opt as many non-experts as you can and ask them to provide the Janet and John version, or something like the blurb off the back of Antisemitism for Dummies.”
All of my favourite authors, film-makers, comedians and commentators are Jewish. I have Jew-envy. I love how most of them approach religion as something to be debated and dissected and discussed rather than something to blindly acquiesce to.
