From anti-Semitism
In Mein Kampf, Adolf Hitler used anti-Semitism in both the narrow sense, as opposition to Jews, and in the wider sense, as opposition to "Semitic" peoples. Nazi philosophy of "anti-Semitism" saw history as a struggle between the forces of good, represented by the Aryan races, and the forces of evil, represented by the Semitic races. While the Jews were considered the most dangerous of the Semitic peoples, the official philosophy was that all Semitic races were a danger. In practice, however, this philosophy was directed solely at the Jews, and culminated in the Holocaust.
