What was the foundation for nazi antisemitism
Nazi Antisemitism has confounded many people in today's society. The question is, where did it come from? It did not originate with the Nazis, but went farther back into European culture and history.

My Findings!
What was the foundation or Nazi Anti-Semitism
In website number one, I found complete and thought provoking ideas about the origin of the deeply ingrained racial prejudices between the Germans and Jews. The Jews entered Europe in large numbers during the middle-ages (website #1). At this point, the Jewish culture could hardly be more different than the German culture. The Jewish valued knowledge and understanding far more than the European culture they had been so near, but so detached from for so long. There were high amounts of tension and hate from both sides, as they refused to accept each other's cultural differences. This is where the violence and contempt arose from (website #1).
In website two, I found more interesting ideas. The Nazi party firmly believed in their Anti-Semitic ideals (website #2), but may have deviously used their ideals to gain power. Perhaps they exaggerated their passionate hate for the Jewish people, in order to stir German citizens into a deep commitment to the Nazi party. However it happened, these Anti-Semitic ideals came from generations of religious and cultural differences.
Website three was more centered around the origins of the Nazi party leader, Adolf Hitler's strong Anti-Semitic beliefs. Hitler spent some time in Vienna, where he began to look up to politicians with strong Anti-Jew ideals (website #2). Many used Jewish rumors and conspiracies to win votes. Hitler fervently looked up to Karl Lueger, a Viennese mayer who proposed many Jewish-restricting laws (website #2).
