Well, they didn't embrace them as brothers when things were going well though... The only time they were pals was when they needed a loan... and then they'd have a purge to avoid having to pay it back...

Yes, but not on such a scale. Sure, over a drink, you'd probably often hear "Those damn Jews, stealing our money" but at the end of the day, those people would go to the Jewish banker and ask him for advice, or the Jewish jeweller (those words must have something in common, it intrigues me) for a wedding ring. But under Nazism, even speaking to a Jew was uncommon unless it was followed by a spit or a curse or was insulting through and through.
True, there was never a massacre on the scale of the holocaust, but that was partly due to limits of technology. More then a few crusader troupes would stop and massacre whole towns of Jews on their way to save the holy land...
And don't forget Spain, who kicked out every single Jew in the country, took their wealth, and killed all the ones who didn't want to go
