Concept Religion: this relates to this because it talks a lot about how the Jews were hated by the Nazis and just the German people in general. I bet the main reason why the Jews were hated so much was not only because they thought that the Jews were the reason they lost their territory, but also because of their religion.
Q. Why might Germans have put their faith in Hitler
A. This is probably because Hitler was an amazing speaker and could easily persuade his audience. Another reason is because he made everybody believe that the Jews were the reason why they lost so much, and the Germans were already upset about losing their territory, now they have a reason why they lost it.
