One of the important historical issues dedicated to the Holocaust for a long time was the question of when exactly Hitler decided to move on to the genocide of the Jews. For decades, there has been debate among historians; most have tended to one of two approaches. The first school claimed that Hitler had decided to exterminate the Jews long before the 1940s, perhaps he was striving for this even before coming to power in January 1933. The second school is that the Holocaust was the result of a chain of circumstances, while Hitler did not initially have a specific plan for Jews. He predicted to the Jews that if they again draw the world into a world war, they will experience annihilation. It was not just a phrase – he was going to accuse them in the launching of new war, to justify their extermination.
