In short, after loosing world war 1 the treaty of versales destroyed germanys economy, stripped their military, and cut apart their land. Germany fell into debt and hyper inflation and at the same time, many store owners were Jewish. Once the Great Depression hit in Germany, many Jewish people stopped loaning money and closed down their stores causing many Germans to starve. This resulted in Hitler blaming the Jews for all of Germanys problem after the rise of the Nazis.
