[nb-NO]Description[nb-NO]
States that antisemitism was at the heart of Nazi ideology, and that the Nazis started WWII, using the war as a cover for tracking down and killing Europe's Jews. Cites a 1936 memo and 1931 speech, in which Hitler anticipated the end of either Germans or Jews in the event of a war with Bolshevism. Though a paradox, this racial ideology saw Jews behind both capitalism and communism, both perceived to be great threats. Noting that neither the Germans nor German industry wanted war, he critiques the structural-functionalist explanations for the Holocaust.
