Hitlers history with the Jews
Hitler also started the boycott committee by assigning Julius Streicher to work on it.
We shall only be able to combat the falsehoods abroad if we get at those who originated them or at those Jews living in Germany who have thus far remained unmolested. We must, therefore, proceed to a large-scale boycott of all Jewish business in Germany. Perhaps the foreign Jews will think better of the matter when their racial comrades in Germany begin to get it in the neck. Hitlers instruction, as recorded in his diary.
Prejudices against Jews
Mother died in Church. Jews doing well during great depression. Blame Jews for the world war 1

It may be Malaysia who does not want to continue the long-lasting friendship with Singapore.
Singaporeans dare not speak up as they fear getting into trouble with the government, thus not many people would support/join opposition parties.
Problems & Challenges
17. In conclusion, the treaty of Versailles was implemented to stop Germany from getting any stronger. Germans were very negative to it and that is when the Nazi party rise and took over. Things got worst when the enabling act in 1933 passed through the majority vote,prejudice and discrimination against Jews occurred throughout Germany, many suffered and died during the holocaust.
The reason for the prejudice and discrimination of Jews still remain debatable for there were plenty of events that might have sparked it.
