Hitler needed two things: a boogie man to blame all Germany's problems on and a source for hard money. The Jews provided both. They get the biggest share of the history books because they were the boogie man. But a lot (probably more) of Christians suffered the same fate. If you owned anything that the state wanted and you were not a Nazi sycophant, you had it taken from you and you, along with your family, were thrown into camps, etc. Hitler built is army with the wealth he took from those people and became the world's biggest bank robber. His number one target in the countries he attacked was their central bank and the gold reserves it held.

We were taught in school this was the reason governments switched to fiat currency - to stop countries from attacking each other to steal their gold/silver reserves.
