I think it's just part of a process. In the case of the Germany, the economic collapse wiped out the middle class, but unemployment was already in the millions to begin with, so the crash condemned these people to starve. If you were a small businessman for example, you were on the street. The anti-Semitism was a way to try to save themselves, because you can help yourself to the Jewish guy's shop when it gets smashed up. Liquidating the Jews is a bargain capital makes with this evaporating social strata that Engels mentioned.

Economic constraints just squeezed down the path of least resistance. The Jews in the civil service? Raus! Expropriate the whole group. Raus! And the Nazis did, indeed, try to expel them, but others countries wouldn't take them, which perhaps in MacDonald's view is more evidence for those countries' foresight about the pernicious Jews. But which country is going to accept a couple million people who have had all their stuff stolen from them? Now the Germans had millions of these mouths to feed during a war and opted to work them to death. Like I wouldn't even say "the Nazis" killed the Jews per se (although they did) as much as a big machine called "capitalism" or a "production process" killed them.

This is the source of all the evils.

And actually, I don't think this will repeat itself in the main way. It'll just be you that gets squeezed to death. Or your parents. It doesn't matter because we're all "Jews" now.
