Nazism fused anti-Jewish hatred with a national regeneration fantasy

Evidence

It lacked a strong democratic tradi­ tion, and the Nazi Party successfully connected hate and loathing for Jews with a desire to take part in a “regeneration” of Germany. … Traditional Christian and nineteenth-century pseudoscientific anti-Semitism were each interwoven with voters’ desires to see themselves as part of a superior Aryan group, regener­ ate the German nation, and return to a mythic past. — Leonard S. Newman and Ralph Erber (eds.), Understanding Genocide, 1030
