In World War II many radical ideas appeared in the countries involved with the war. One of the more notable, of course was Hitler and the genocide of the Jews and "political enemies" of his. The way that Hitler convinced the people of Germany that it was OK to kill the Jewish population, in my opinion was a gradual increase in giving false and some true reasons for the majority of the population to have prejudice towards the Jews. A true reason for the German population to dislike the Jewish population in Germany was that most of their wealth was owned by a Jewish population meaning that while most of the country was in poverty, the Jewish population was well off.
While this was true, most of the reasons were false and lead to kristallnacht which could be marked as the start of the Holocaust. Kristallnacht, or night of broken glass, was on the 9th and 10th of November 1938 and was the coordinated attacks of Jewish shops, synagogues, and homes by the Nazi secret police.During the events of those nights 1,000 synagogues were burned, and 7,000 Jewish businesses were destroyed, 91 were killed, and 30,000 were arrested and taken to concentration and forced labor camps. In conclusion, when a population agrees with radical ideas it is a gradual movement fed at first by facts then transpires to lies.
