Scapegoating had a lot to do with the Holocaust because of Hitler and the Nazi regime's blame upon Jews. Scapegoating is when something is used in place of another, in this case Hitler using Jews to blame for all war, troubles, and political/economic issues. Not only did Hitler use the Jewish population as a scapegoat, bet he manipulated and twisted the minds of his own population to heighten his own power and to strengthen his Dictatorship. Scapegoating is also used in Mafias, drug cartels, and any other large crime organization; Usually illegal underground businesses run by corrupt leaders with a ladder of power installed into the system.

The Jews were used as scapegoats and blamed for Germany's problems, allowing the Nazis to capture and kill them without the majority of the German population objecting to it.
Totalitarianism has alot to do with the Holocaust. Hitler used the power of controlling all the media to blame all misfortune that came onto Germany, on the Jewish. If something went wrong, blame it on the Jews. This provided a scapegoat for Hitler, so he could come into power and 'cleanse' Germany of the Jews. Even Books were published on how Jewish people were the "poison mushroom tainting Germany." He used the fact that he controlled everything to his advantage.
A scapegoat is someone who will take the blame for something that someone else does. Examples include a brother taking the blame for another sibling breaking something in the house.
