Thesis Statement

• Anti-Semitism, or the hatred of Jews, started
  many years ago back to the time of Jesus. Some
  Christians believed that Jews killed Jesus and
  this idea led to the widespread hatred throughout
  Europe. Primarily in Germany, Anti-Semitic Nazi
  groups, whose goals were to wipe out anyone
  different, took power. The main targets were
  Jews, but anyone non-Christian or non-white was
  in danger because of the Nazis idea of
  white-Christian superiority.

  newspaper stated that they had found a document
  declaring the Jews were trying to take over the
  world.
