Antisemitism started in Germany mainly after WWI, because there existed
a common believe, that WWI was a fabrication of the Jews and the
international bankers.

So looks like Hitler the Catholic got most Jews eliminated from Europe
and lots of Protestants and atheistic Marxists killed. Huge communal
riot, the WW2 in Europe at least - which the Catholics lost. Looks like
the bigJews got lots of Catholics killed in WW1, so WW2 was the
consequence.
Yes there can be objections to the riot theory like Poland being
Catholic, so there were political and money reasons as well.
