The Third Reich was controlled by the Nazi Party, a party that favoured totalitarian governments. A totalitarian government admires violence and aggression to maintain order within a country. Therefore, Hitler resorted to using totalitarian ways to keep “order” within Germany. If people did not succumb to Hitler 's rules, they were persecuted in a fashion similar to that of Jews.

Hitler pretended Jews were the cause of the Great Depression and Germany 's loss in World War II (“National Socialism”). By using Jews as scapegoats, Hitler perceived Jews as a species lower than human beings (Douning 10). Consequently, Jews converted into Christians or turned on each other due to the growing hate (Meyers). It was not only Jews who turned on Jews. Many other civilians turned on minorities during the
