The anti-Semitic attacks in 30's Nazi Germany had a political basis, also. Jews "ran everything", the theory went. "Jews were running things into the ground", and therefore it was acceptable to attack them and destroy them and everything representative of the Jewish people--as in, destroy their synagogues.

That was part of it but the primary cause was what happened in the Soviet Union. People were afraid the Ukrainian Holocaust would spread to all of Europe.

The "Ukrainian Holocaust", as you put it, is one of those bits of history that we are not supposed to talk about. Anybody who even mentions it is usually accused of being "anti-semetic". I hope you are wearing your asbestos skivvies, you are going to need them.
