Summary
Hitler blamed the Jews for all the misfortunes
that had befallen German
• The loss of the First World War was a Jewish conspiracy
along with the terms of the Treaty of Versailles
• The hyperinflation of 1923 was the result of an international
Jewish attempt to destroy Germany.
• In reality Hitler was using them as a scapegoat. (someone
to blame)
