Question

how did adolf hitler’s persecution of jews help the nazi party secure power in germany? a. he blamed jews for germany’s problems and encouraged germans to join the nazis in attacking jews. b. his attacks on jews reduced the strength of the opposition party, which had many jewish members. c. his anti - jewish laws allowed nazis to feel proud of their compassion for all germans. d. many jews joined the nazi party to avoid being persecuted as non - nazis.

Explanation:

Hitler and the Nazis used antisemitic scapegoating, framing Jews as the cause of Germany's post-WWI economic struggles and national humiliation. This unified disaffected Germans around the Nazi Party's agenda, rallying support and helping them consolidate power. Options B, C, and D are incorrect: the main opposition parties did not rely heavily on Jewish members for strength, anti-Jewish policies were rooted in cruelty not compassion, and Jews were targeted by the Nazis, not joining the party to avoid persecution.

Answer:

A. He blamed Jews for Germany's problems and encouraged Germans to join the Nazis in attacking Jews.
