Why did Germans think that Jews were inferior to them?

Germans believed Jews were inferior due to a combination of historical prejudices, stereotypes, and pseudoscientific theories that promoted racial hierarchies. Anti-Semitic attitudes had deep roots in European history, often blaming Jews for various social and economic problems. The rise of nationalism and the idea of a "pure" Aryan race in the late 19th and early 20th centuries further fueled these beliefs, leading to widespread discrimination and the dehumanization of Jewish people, culminating in the atrocities of the Holocaust.
