How Did Hitler Influence The Holocaust

The holocaust was a place of terror, violence, selfishness and exploitation. Hitler used a couple of tactics to rise to power such as propaganda, fear and scapegoat. Hitler started to campaign against the Jews and mainly used the Jews as a scapegoat. He started to slowly get Germans on his side and because the country wasn't doing so well economically, they blamed it on the Jews. The Germans quickly followed Hitler and blamed the failures of the country on the Jews to make themselves look better. This is what a scapegoat means. Hitler had powers no one else had “It wasn’t just his ability to speak that brought him support; it was also his clever propaganda. He knew what to say to provoke fear.
