1 Preconditions: Anti-Semitism, Racism, & Common Prejudices In order for a house to burn down, three things are required. The timber must be dry and combustible, there needs to be a spark that ignites it, and external conditions have to be favorable—not too damp, perhaps some wind. [1] 1)Antisemitism 2)Eugenics 3)Imperialism & Racism 4)Common Prejudices  Slavs, Gypsies, homosexuals, Jehovah’s Witnesses, etc 5)The Great War (1914-1918)  “total war” In what ways did the above act as preconditions for the Holocaust? Hitler’s Nazi regime in Germany provided the spark that set off the destruction we now call the Holocaust, and World War II (1939-1945) created a setting conducive to brutality. However, without certain preconditions... mass murder on such a scale would not have been possible. People had to be prepared to accept the identification of other members of their society as enemies. [1]

What does Adolf Hitler want? Freedom and food for every decent working German! The gallows for profiteers, black marketeers and exploiters, regardless of religious faith or race! Why is Adolf Hitler not allowed to speak? Because he is ruthless in uncovering the rulers of the German economy, the international bank Jews and their lackeys, the Democrats, Marxists, Jesuits, and Free Masons! Because he wants to free the workers from the domination of big money! Working Germans! Demand the lifting of the illegal ban on his speaking!
