The Jewish Question.

[Bouncer]

anyone know why the Nazis went as far as they did? why didn't they just expel Jews from the country if they hated them so much rather then going through with such an effort of mass execution. i never understood this. they started out just boycotting Jewish business and making it uncomfortable for Jews and then they took a massive leap to full on execution. i dont feel like "well the Nazis were sick" fully answers the question and i can't really find an answer.

why not simply expel with the threat of violence? would have been far easier and cheaper for the Nazis to do that compared to the massive undertaking of death camps etc.

Because they were stupid and took their eyes off the ball in the midst of the fight of their lives?

Also, they had conscripted a lot of Slavic slave labor to aid with the war effort. Harvests were poor in the early 1940s and the Nazis decided that they need to feed the slave labor and that the "useless mouths" (i.e. the Jews) should be eliminated.

No. But I'm not surprised a racist POS like Netanyahu said it.

I guess my question still is this.

There were years that went by after the Nazis took power where they didn't take such an extreme stance on Jews. They certainly never blew them kisses but they didn't just toss them in the ovens either.

Why not from the start? Why wasn't Hitler so hostile towards Jews from day 1? He had absolute power and a very large percentage of the German public felt the same way he did towards the Jews. What was stopping him?

The first few years Hitler's main hatred was actually directed towards communism.
