What political function did antisemitism serve in the Nazi worldview?

It mobilised people against a fabricated common enemy

Antisemitism served the Nazi regime as a political instrument for creating a scapegoat and manufacturing unity. Nazis falsely blamed Jews for Germany’s military defeat, economic difficulties, political unrest, and many other problems. By presenting one group as a dangerous internal enemy, the regime diverted attention from its own policies, justified discrimination, and encouraged people to support authoritarian control. Option A is correct, although the supposed enemy was based on racist lies rather than evidence. Options B, C, and D are incorrect: antisemitism did not promote religious equality, free opposition, or democracy; it helped destroy civil rights and legitimise persecution, exclusion, and mass violence.
