At the end of World War I, Germany was harshly punished in the terms of the Treaty of Versailles and faced a state of disaster. Adolf Hitler gained power and combined his roles of Chancellor and President in the Reichstag into Fuhrer. Hitler had planned for a long time to commence the war of his own volition. Hitler and his fellow Nazis insisted that the eradication of Jews was justified in its response to a war launched against Germany by the Jews. At the core of the Nazi justification for the…
