Not that I'm arguing with your argument, I jsut want to clear up the thing about Jewish people in Germany.
The German Jewish people were not killed because they were Jewish. They were killed as a sick and twisted revenge plot.
Here's how the story goes:
During the later part of World War I Britain and Germany were considering calling the whole war a tie and letting their troops go home. But the more powerful Jewish-Germans had convinced the other powers of Germany to continue the war. They said that they would win for sure. As we all know, Germany lost the first world war. When the Treay of Versailles came about, Germany was left bankrupt. Germany went into a depression.
Hitler was still bothered by the treaty and blamed the Jews that told them to keep the war going for Germany's economic status. So Hitler and his regime started putting the Jewish people to work in forced labour programs. But it evetually got really out of hand and they started killing the Jews and these labour camps became death camps.
So, the Jews werren't persecuted for being Jewish per se. Hitler was sore and took it out on the the German-Jews.
