Why did the holocaust happen?

i need to know in 2 weeks why it happened. so me!

Im not sure if you still need help but heres the answer. The holocaust happened because Hitler and the National Socialist (Nazi) party of Germany believed that the Jews held too much power in German politics (which I would like to note, they objectively did) and therefore should be removed from Europe. Hitler and the National Socialists believed that other non-aryans such as slavs and blacks do not belong in Germany and should also be removed. Basically Hitler believed that Germany should be for Germans only. Ironically, Israel a jewish country, preaches the same message but for themselves (Israel for Israelis) and most Israelis believe that they should remove non-Israelis from Israel so that they can be an ethnically pure country. Reasonable estimates put the holocaust death toll for jews at about 2.5 million, most dying of malnutrition or typhus (which was a disease that no one knew how to stop at the time).

Hope this helps :3
