86 From the book: A HISTORY OF THE GREATEST LIES 31 The coming to power in Germany of the National Socialists, led by the demoniac Fuhrer Adolf Hitler, who fanatically hated Jews, created the possibility of the complete extermination of the Jews as a nation, with the full connivance of European leaders who did not want to spoil relations with Hitler. The genocide resulted in the extermination of over 6 million Jews. The defeat of Nazi Germany in 1945 and the realization of the extermination of the Jews of Europe contributed to the agreement of the world's society on creating a Jewish national state of Israel with the capital in Jerusalem. The circle is complete. After nearly 2,000 years of dispersion, Jews returned home. But that is another story.
