Well. Partially it was exactly that though. One of the roots of European antisemitism is that christians were not allowed to take interest on money loans, and jews were not allowed to do many jobs, but by faith could take interest from non-jews.
It’s kind of convenient to find an excuse why people you owe money to are “sub-human” and should be murdered. And that was also a factor in Nazi-Germany.

The Nazis found all sorts of excuses.
