The Germans under Adolf Hitler believed that the Jews were the cause of all the .
German troubles and were a threat to the German and Christian values. Dating back to the .

the murderers of Christ and were therefore denounced from society, rejected by the .
Conservatives and were not allowed to live in rural areas.
