A is the most accurate response. The Nazi party effectively utilized propaganda to foster hatred and disdain toward Jewish people, often blaming them for the hardships faced by Germany after World War I, particularly the economic difficulties arising from the Treaty of Versailles. This anti-Semitic propaganda portrayed Jews as responsible for Germany's defeat in the war and its subsequent struggles, thus inflaming public sentiment against them.

Responses B, C, and D are either misleading or factually incorrect and do not accurately reflect the historical methods employed by the Nazis to incite hatred against Jewish people.
