1HolocaustWhy

W hy did the Holocaust happen? SZ 

The Holocaust happened for many reasons. When Germany fell in World War I, people were starving, and dying of disease. The country was broke from fighting a long war, and needed to pay up. Germany's government needed money, and highly taxed the people. They wanted to blame people for the cause of the people feeling weak. They blamed the Jews, for the cause of the fall of Germany. The Jews were singled out, because they were an easy target. Hitler wanted change. He organized a party called the National Socialist German Worker's Party, aka the Nazi party. Hitler would give out word that he wanted to construct a strong military to take out all the people who caused Germany to weaken from the WWI. By Hitler's strong skills on being able to talk to people, he rose power and was the second strongest political party in Germany. Another reason why Hitler went after Jews were because of their wealth, and power in the economy. He thought that they had great intelligence and wanted to whipe them out. Hitler believed in one superior race that would rule the world, and he wanted to lead it. Hitler was a fuhrer, or a  leader, especially one exercising the absolute power of a tyrant. This was Hitler's title as leader of the Nazi party, and Chief of the German state.
