"The Nazis claimed that humankind is divided into groups, and the members of each group share the same
"blood" or racial characteristics. "German-blooded" people were "superior to the other groups, while some
groups were so "inferior" as to be "subhuman." According to the Nazis, "the Jews" (people of Jewish descent,
regardless of whether they practiced Judaism) made up a group that was not only "subhuman" but also "the
most dangerous enemy of the German people." Without these beliefs, the Nazis' development of a program of
genocide could not have happened.
