getting rid of political enemies-The first people that were killed because of the Holocaust were political enemies to Germany.

Hi Taylor,

I don't think we can just find 3 causes to the Holocaust. Hitler probably made a ton of horrible excuses for it.

But if you have to find 3, I would also look at the economic situation in Germany laeding up to World War II. After WW I, there were a lot of economic problems. Hitler seemed like a God send in several ways because he did get the economy jump started again fairly well. Not perfect, but definitely getting a lot better. Unfortunately, that also meant that a lot of people were not thinking these things through very well and just let things spiral out of control.
