The jew's were singled out because in Germany and other parts of Europe anti semitism ( hate of Jews ) was always present in there culture. Hitler also had a dislike of Jews due to the fact that he was not accepted into a art school run by a Jew.

Anti Semitism has its roots in the Dark Ages. European nobility valued land and made laws preventing Jews (who were foreigners) from owning farms. At the same time the Catholic Church banned money lending. The Jews had their own religion and didn't listen to the Catholic Church. So the Europeans became farmers and the Jews became merchants and bankers. A few centuries later the Europeans noticed that the Jewish merchants and bankers had lots more money, but didn't realize that it was due to European Laws. So they imagined that the Jews formed some kind of conspiracy. This racist distrust and religious differences lead to many persecutions of the Jews in Europe.

The Jews were singled out by the Nazi's during the Holocaust because they were seen as a threat for world dominance. They believed that if this happened, they would destroy the Germans.

When capitalized Holocaust refers specifically to the destruction of Jews and other Europeans by the Nazis and may also encompass the Nazi persecution of Jews that preceded the outbreak of the war?

When capitalized, as the Holocaust, the term refers quite specifically to the Nazi genocide of the Jews. This began in 1941. The two dates preferred for the start are either 8 December 1941, when routine mass gassings of Jews began at Chelmno, or 25 June 1941 when the Nazi mobile killing squads went into action in Lithuania. The term was consciously chosen in preference to the earlier term Final Solution [of the Jewish Question], which was the Nazis' own term. The holocaust with a small 'h' often refers to the wider Nazi killings on the basis of group identity. (Please see related question). The period of persecution that preceded the Holocaust is not normally included in the Holocaust. There is, after all, a difference between persecution and mass murder or genocide. In late 1941 the great majority of Jews in Nazi held territory were still alive, but two years later most were dead.
