Although much of his political manifesto, Mein Kampf, was devoted to explaining that hatred, which was clearly shared by an enthusiastic German nation, the actions taken against Europe's Jews were so monstrous in both nature and scale that it was inevitable that researchers would look for a more personal explanation”…

Burke says "Irrational it is, but it is carried out under the slogan of reason” (199). Hitler used impressive words and rhetoric to tell the masses that all ideas about anti-Semitism were reasonable. Since the fragile Germans who had just suffered from the pain of WWI and the collateral economical crisis, were so desperate in searching for a strong hope that can unite and prosper the whole nation again. As a result, they easily place their trust in Hitler’s anti-Semitism as well as its explanation, Germanic, which relays to the superiority of the German under the feverous propaganda.…

    A famous explanation for the start of his hatred for the Jews lies in one of his favorite parts of life: art. According to researchers, Hitler applied for the Vienna Academy of Art in 1908, but his application to the institute was rejected (telegraph.co.uk). Many researchers believe that this rejection was one of the catalysts that sparked his underlying beliefs in anti-semitism. In addition, he was a person who strongly believed in “Aryan” superiority, and he saw Jews as core problems in society. In his rise to power as the Chancellor of Germany, he repeatedly expressed these views of superiority, and he used the discontent Germans felt after losing World War I as one of the chief pillars for his rise to power.…
