Nazism
Nazism transformed antisemitism into a racial ideology centered on Jews as an existential threat.

The idea
Nazi ideology portrayed Jews not as a religious group, but as a biological danger to civilization and the racial nation.
The recurring move
Jews were framed as secretly controlling finance, communism, media, liberalism, and cultural decline. Contradictory accusations worked together because conspiracy supplied the link.
Germany · The rewritten law book
After 1933, the Nazi regime excluded Jews through successive laws. The 1935 Nuremberg Laws removed full citizenship and restricted marriage using invented racial categories. Officials turned antisemitic ideology into administrative rules. These classifications were instruments of persecution, not scientific descriptions of people.
