Why did Hitler only take Jews to concentration camps?
Hitler was an extreme racist and anti-Semitic. In Mein Kampf, he wrote: "The biggest antithesis of Aryans is Jews." He regards Jews as the enemy of the world, the source of all evil, the source of all disasters and the destroyer of human life order. These views became the theoretical basis for Hitler's subsequent slaughter of millions of Jews in an attempt to exterminate them. The reasons can be roughly seen from the following four aspects:

1, historical reasons. Historically, Europeans have been prejudiced against Jews. In order to clarify this issue, it is necessary to make a simple institutional review of the history of the Jewish nation. The distant ancestor of the Jews was the Hebrews, a branch of the ancient Semitic people. Before BC, their ancestors used to live in the land of Malestan in Arabia. 1 century, after the Roman Empire captured Pakistan, Jews held many large-scale uprisings against the Roman occupiers, but they were brutally suppressed by the Roman rulers. It was not until A.D. 135 that the Jewish uprising was defeated. During this 1 century, the Roman rulers slaughtered millions of Jews, and finally drove all the rest out of the land of Malestan, making them scattered to the backward small-scale farming and pastoral society in Western Europe. Land is regarded as the most precious wealth, while commerce is an industry that people despise. After the Jews fled to western Europe, the local feudal lords discriminated against them very much, forbidding them to occupy land and allowing them to run businesses only. I don't know whether the fault of history educated them, or whether the hardships of life and death sharpened them, or whether history gave them opportunities. In a word, the historical aggregate formed by all this has cast the characteristics of Jews and made them smart and powerful. They not only grow sturdily in difficulties, but also become rich gradually.

From 13 to 15, Europe began to enter the capitalist society, and the local emerging bourgeoisie had conflicts of interest with the emerging Jewish capitalists who became rich through business, and bad luck came to the Jews again. The conflict of real interests and the difference of religious beliefs forced a large number of Jews to flow to Eastern Europe and American countries, and began the second Jewish exodus in history. Unfortunately, this anti-Semitic consciousness has actually evolved into a cultural deposit, which has been "passed down" to modern times in some countries and regions. Especially in Germany and Austria after entering this century, anti-Semitism is increasing day by day, among which Hitler and his followers are typical representatives.

2. Religious complex. Christianity is the most widely spread religion with the largest number of followers in the world. In Europe, especially in western Europe, people generally believe in Christ Jesus. Although the Old Testament, one of the Christian classics, was originally a Jewish classic, there is a close historical relationship between the two religions. However, according to Christian doctrine, Judas, one of Jesus' 12 disciples, betrayed the son of God for 30 pieces of silver coins, and the Jews crucified Jesus, which caused Christians' emotional hatred towards the Jews. Therefore, it is difficult for Christians in Europe to accept Jews in religious feelings. This socialization of religious feelings has gradually evolved into a popular social mentality of hating Jews. Similarly, this social mentality is also a kind of cultural precipitation. Generations "inherit" and gradually combine with social economy and politics with the passage of time, making it a potential social and political force that can be used at any time. When this potential thing is used by one (or more) political careerists, it will erupt like a volcano and become a crazy social driving force.

It should be noted that nationalism prevailed in Germany and Austria at that time, and the original religious sentiment intensified under the real conflict of interests, which made people's original anti-Semitism more intense, thus intensifying their hatred of Jews. Under the influence of this social atmosphere, Hitler's view of "hatred of Judaism and anti-Semitism" gradually formed and quickly became the dominant of this social sentiment. On the one hand, the social sentiment of hatred of Judaism and anti-Semitism in Germany and Austria at that time greatly stimulated his political ambition, which made his nationalist thoughts expand viciously, created social value orientation and cultivated political power for his policies and measures of hatred of Judaism and anti-Semitism in the future.

3. Realistic needs. In the late 1920s and early 1930s, the world economic crisis broke out, which severely hit Germany, making its industrial production fall back to the level at the end of last century, and its national strength gradually declined. The profound economic crisis not only intensified the class contradictions at home, but also stimulated the monopoly bourgeoisie's ambition to expand abroad. "The German nation must find a way out from the plundered land and production space." Hitler's idea of fighting for the world was supported by the German monopoly bourgeoisie. However, the implementation of the evil plan to establish the Germanic empire of the German nation requires huge funds to provide financial security. In the case of declining national strength, it is natural for them to reach out to wealthy Jews.

In addition, Jews living in all parts of Europe are not only rich, but also have higher quality than other nationalities. Faced with such a nation, Hitler and his followers felt both hatred and timidity. In their minds, Jews, a special social group, are a serious threat to their dream of the "Third Reich". These undoubtedly aggravated Hitler's hatred and political jealousy towards Jews. In addition, the social and political life in Germany at that time was completely in a symptom of extreme madness, which made Hitler's anti-Semitism view not only lose its proper social environment, but also quickly become crazy.

4. Violent morbid psychology. Hitler was the illegitimate child of a small Austrian customs official. He lacked a good education since childhood, and wandered the streets of Vienna and Munich all day in his youth, which made him selfish and arrogant. As one of his childhood class teachers later recalled, "Hitler lacked self-control, at least he was considered stubborn, willful, self-righteous and grumpy." In addition, he suffers from spastic neuroticism, and he will go crazy and even squat on the floor and chew the carpet. As can be seen from relevant historical materials, rage is a typical feature of Hitler's character. For example, one day in 1942, a surgeon of Nazi German armed forces, Zal Borch, was ordered to meet Hitler. Hitler's dog jumped on the doctor and scared him out of his wits. The doctor was forced to speak to him in a low voice Soon he lay quietly beside the doctor, put his front legs on his knees, looked at him meekly and laughed with him. Hitler flew into a rage when he saw this scene: "It is the only creature that is completely loyal to me, but you cheated it. I want to kill it." The voice is getting louder and louder, almost to the point of screaming. I'm afraid of shouting and threatening to imprison the doctor. Such things happen from time to time. Rage is like jealousy, which makes him vicious and cruel. Hitler was a political madman with a serious morbid psychology.

If we look at any one of the above four reasons in isolation, it is difficult to constitute an extinct vendetta against Jews. Only when these four reasons are combined can we have a certain social effect that will lead the Jewish nation to extinction, and Hitler is the leader who skillfully combined these four reasons.

First of all, under the banner of nationalism and socialism prevailing in Germany at that time, the Nazi Party flaunted that the German nation was an excellent one and regarded the Jewish nation as an inferior one. In order to confuse the audience and deceive the German people, Hitler carefully packaged this theory of racial discrimination from two aspects. First, he was afraid that according to his own social logic, he would extract some words out of context from the predecessors' expositions on population issues and piece together a theory of racial superiority and inferiority, thus creating a theoretical basis for pushing Jews to inferior races. The second is to use the deep-rooted anti-Semitic consciousness and religious complex in the hearts of Germans and Austrians to advocate the fallacy of "Jewish plague". After Hitler's deliberate "grafting", this theory is no longer racial discrimination in the general sense. He used historical and religious factors to create a broad social foundation for his extermination of Jews, making this theory more universal and inflammatory. As soon as Hitler came to power, he was able to successfully carry out a set of anti-Semitic policies that persecuted Jews crazily, which undoubtedly benefited from his absurd theory. Secondly, the Nazi party also used the psychology that the German masses hated the Treaty of Versailles at that time to incite revenge, and transferred this emotion to the Jews.

Among these four reasons, the realistic need is the most direct factor, and the other two reasons are also very important factors. Without historical reasons and religious complex as the dominant conditions, it is hard to imagine that even if reality needs it again, it will reach such a crazy and cruel level. Only when these four reasons are combined, a terrible and disgusting driving force full of blood is produced.

Any historical event is the product of various social related factors, or it is created by current events. During World War II, 6 million Jews were killed, and Hitler was the chief culprit. Hitler's unique racial hatred and political jealousy towards Jews is a special reflection of the morbid psychology of political lunatics. The "bacteria" that led to Hitler's serious morbid psychology came from historical prejudice and religious complex, which happened to be bred by the German social environment at that time. To be exact, Hitler's serious morbid psychology and the crazy and morbid social and political life in Germany at that time were complementary. On the one hand, crazy morbid psychology is the adhesive of historical prejudice, religious complex and practical needs; On the other hand, the aggregation of these three reasons pushed Hitler's crazy and morbid psychology to the extreme, which led to the great tragedy of human history.
