WHAT EXACTLY IS A WITCH HUNT?
"What exactly is a witch hunt?" you may be asking yourself. A witch hunt is an intensive effort to discover and expose disloyalty, subversion, dishonesty, or the like, usually based on slight, doubtful, or irrelevant evidence.
The Holocaust is a perfect example of a witch hunt that happened from 1933 to 1945. It mainly targeted and accused Jewish people, but there were also others including homosexuals, people with a handicap, gypsies, and pretty much anyone else who didn't believe in Nazi ideology. The Nazis believed that they were racially superior and that Jews were inferior.
After World War I, Germany's economy started to decline because they had to pay for all of the war damages they caused. Hitler hated the Jews, so to him, they seemed easy to blame for the social and economical problems Germany was experiencing.
