Why did the Nazis exterminate Jews during World War II? Why?

1. Nazis are fanatical social Darwinists.

British biologist Darwin founded the theory of evolution, which was later used to explain all social phenomena. They believe that human beings also have natural selection, the law of the jungle and the survival of the fittest are the main reasons for dominating people, especially for national development. This is the widespread social Darwinism.

Hitler was a faithful believer in this theory. He concluded that in order to maintain purity, the German nation should avoid any pollution of impure racial components, especially Jews. Goebbels, his propaganda minister, put it more bluntly: Jews are "like pustules, which will defile pure German girls at any time. In this way, Jews were deprived of their property and homes, driven into concentration camps and isolated.

2. Aryans and Jews cannot survive.

Hitler believed that Aryans and Jews were antagonistic and they could not reconcile. In Hitler's view, the noble Aryans were heroic and devoted to society. On the other hand, Jews are lazy, extravagant and morally corrupt. They are a mob, not a complete race, but a dangerous corrosive agent that destroys the German nation.

In this way, Jews should not only be put into concentration camps, but also be physically eliminated and genocide. The tragic massacre was driven by this view.

Jews prevented Germany from becoming the master of the world.

In Hitler's view, Jews should take responsibility for the "disasters" suffered by all ethnic groups in the world. He also believes that the United States and Britain are Jews in power, and it is the determination and strength of these two countries that prevent him from becoming the master of the world. Only by completely eliminating Jews from the earth can the German nation achieve the greatest development. So anti-Semitism became one of Hitler's excuses to wage war. Added a bloody page to human history.

Extended data:

During the Second World War, the crimes committed by the German Nazis were appalling. In particular, the planned and organized genocide of Jews is the most heinous.

Nazi fascists killed Jews indiscriminately by shooting, burying them alive, poisoning, exhaustion and starvation. It is unbelievable that such a barbaric act should appear in Germany, which ranks among the top in the world in the fields of science, art and civilization.
