Historian A: Richard Evans – Economic Perspective "Richard Evans argues that the persecution policies in Nazi Germany were driven primarily by economic motives. He contends that the Nazi regime sought to eliminate Jewish businesses and assets to consolidate economic control and enrich the Aryan population. Evans highlights that economic incentives played a significant role in shaping policies like the Aryanization of Jewish property, suggesting that persecution was partly motivated by financial gain as well as ideological hatred. This perspective emphasizes the material benefits the regime gained from systematic persecution."

Historian B: Claudia Koonz – Social Perspective "Claudia Koonz emphasizes the social factors behind persecution, arguing that Nazi policies aimed to reshape German society by marginalizing and dehumanizing Jews and other groups. She points to propaganda, social exclusion, and the building of a racially pure society as evidence of social engineering. Koonz believes that the persecution was motivated by a desire to create an entirely homogenous society, and that societal conformity and racial ideology were key drivers of Nazi policies."
