Best Answer

Nazi Propaganda had all kinds of conspiracy theories about the causes of the Great Depresssion, but they were not widely believed.

Note. The Great Depression lasted from about 1930-1935 or later, depending on the country.

No one group can really be blamed for the great depression. There are of course people who will blame the Jews but there are also people who will blame Americans, or the British, or the Germans, or others. In answer to the question, yes Jews have been blamed for the great depression. Others have too, though.

No. There are many causes of the Great Depression.

1. Failures of banks and insurance companies in Germany due to the collapse of the German economy, which was caused by WWI reparations and penalties.

2. Excessive, uncontrolled speculation on Wall Street and in other financial markets.

3. Increased tariffs which caused trade wars, reducing world-wide GDP and reducing American farm prices.

4. Bank failures in the US, caused mainly by mortgage failures due to those falling farm prices.

5. A lack of understanding of how job creation and job growth occurs by elected leaders in the U.S. and elsewhere.

Nowhere in this list is there any Jewish conspiracy to cause the Depression. This, however, did not stop the Nazis from asserting that the Jews had caused the Depression.

How did Jews in Germany thrive financially during the Great Depression?

The supposition underlying this question, namely that Jews were successful during the Great Depression, is untrue. The Jews did no better or worse during the Great Depression than did the average German. Hitler, and the Nazis in general, capitalized on the German people's ignorance of their own neighbors' suffering. The sad thing is that Nazi propaganda and Anti-Semitic propaganda is so strong that people continue to believe that the Jews were better off during this period when they were not.

What was bad about the Jewish people during the Holocaust?

There is nothing bad about the Jews and there never was. The Nazis claimed that the Jews were actively encouraging cultural and moral decline and homosexuality and Hitler also used the Jews as a scapegoat to blame for Germany's defeat in World War 1 and for Germany economic problems, especially the Great Depression. The Jews were viewed by Hitler as racially inferior. He wanted to create a "master race." In that there would be no room for "undesirables" Basically it was all just antisemitism . -JF
