This is a very critical issue that relates toWhy did Nazi Germany hate JewsAnd how this hatred went from individual prejudice to mass brainwashing, ultimately leading to the massacre of 6 million Jews.

Let's clarify this issue systematically:

🧠 Conclusion first:

Nazi Germany believed that the Jews controlled the media, finance, and culture of Germany and were the main culprits of the country's declineunfoundedBut ratherThe conspiracy theories deliberately fabricated and widely propagated by Hitler himself and the Nazi Party。

Although there were indeed some successful Jews in Germany at that time, they were far from having the ability to "control the country" and were mostly seen asscapegoat。

1、 How did this statement come about?

✅ Main source:Hitler himself(+Extreme Right Nationalists)

In Mein Kampf, Hitler said:

• Jews are the cancer of Germany;

• Jews have corrupted our art, culture, journalism, and education;

• Jews are the mastermind behind Marxism;

• "They use capital to control banks and squeeze the German people".

👉 This argument became the cornerstone of Nazi ideology and was repeatedly instilled through propaganda machines.

2、 Why did the Nazis say that? What are their political motivations?

🔥 Due to Germany's defeat in World War I and economic collapse, society needs a 'scapegoat':

After World War I, Germany encountered:

• The Treaty of Versailles resulted in massive reparations;

• Economic collapse and severe inflation (in 1923, German money was almost worthless);

• Social dissatisfaction is on the rise.

✅ The Nazi Party rose in this chaos and needed to find a visible enemy to divert public attention.

✅ Several reasons why Jews were chosen as "scapegoats":

1. Ethnic minorities are prone to isolation and demonization

2. Some Jews do have a reputation in the financial and publishing industries (but only a minority)

3. There is already a long-standing European anti Semitic tradition that can be borrowed

3、 How did the Nazis systematically spread this statement?

1. Joseph Goebbels, Minister of Propaganda, manipulates the national media

He used all means to create the image of 'Jews=enemies of the state':

• The movie 'The Eternal Jew' compares Jews to mice;

• Control broadcasting, newspapers, and output anti Semitic information;

• Add anti Semitic content to primary school textbooks to instill hatred towards Jews in children from a young age.

👉 The entire country has been systematically brainwashed.

2. Marginalizing Jews through legal and economic means

• Nuremberg Act: Jews are prohibited from marrying Germans and deprived of their citizenship;

• Jews are not allowed to work as civil servants, doctors, or teachers;

• Their company was forcibly taken over and their property was plundered.

👉 Stigmatized → excluded → cleared.

4、 What is the real situation?

✅ Jews are only a minority in Germany:

• Before the Nazis came to power, the population of Germany was about 65 million, and the Jews were only about500 thousandAccounting for less than 1%;

• Most Jews are ordinary middle-class, small business people, teachers, and employees, and do not "control the lifeline of the country";

• There are a few outstanding figures (such as bankers and artists), but they cannot influence national policies.

✅ Media and finance have not been manipulated by Jews:

• Mainstream banks, military and political institutions, and media are still mainly controlled by "pure German descendants";

• The claim of 'controlling Germany' is exaggerated, distorted, and fabricated.

5、 The harm of this statement

• be used forLegitimacy reasons for genocide；

• Resulting in the killing of 6 million Jews (including women and children);

• The remaining 'conspiracy theory toxins' are still spreading on the internet and even being exploited by the far right.
