Causes of WW2

Document D: Adolf Hitler, Mein Kampf, 1923

> "What we see before us of human culture today, the results of art, science, and techniques, is almost exclusively the creative product of the Aryan... The Jew forms the strongest contrast to the Aryan. Hardly in any people of the world is the instinct of self-preservation more strongly developed than in the so-called 'chosen people.'... But how far the Jew takes over foreign culture, only imitating, or rather destroying, it, may be seen from the fact that he is found most frequently in that art which also appears directed least of all towards invention of its own, the art of acting. But here, too, he is really only the 'juggler,' or rather the ape; for here, too, he lacks the ultimate touch of real greatness; here, too, he is not the ingenious creator, but the outward imitator, whereby all the turns and tricks he applies cannot deceive us concerning the inner lack of lowers man, and never again can its consequences be removed from the body and mind."

Q: How does Hitler portray Jewish people? How does he see them affecting German society and economy?
