To all patriotic Czechs, this amounted to a flat betrayal by the Western democracies.

I doubt it, but maybe, maybe it's true. In any case, he came to power at a time when Germany was in a really bad way. Pitifully poor. People hungry, out of work. And he got this idea that what the German people needed was a scapegoat. Somebody they could blame for their troubles... So he picked the Jews. People already didn't like the Jews, didn't trust the Jews. Maybe if there had been a lot of Chinese or black people in Germany, he would have picked them. He wanted someone visible, easy to spot.
