The nazi's just made it a policy, but the resentment and mistrust of Jews had been built up by the catholic church in the middle ages.

That's true, they have spent centuries being demonized by different faiths and they still got demonized when they escaped Nazi occupation and came to places like the UK. We were very cruel to the escaping Jewish people. Most Jews arriving here, including my farther-in-law (as a small child) had to change their name and were advised not to let neighbors know they were Jewish. The Daily Mail put out daily propaganda about how the Jewish men were raping our women and kidnapping our children. English people were encouraged to fear the incoming Jews and that to me, feels very similar to what the Daily Mail is doing today. Different religion, same propaganda.
