There is a reason, because it’s been that way for thousands of years. Jews get somewhere, and everyone gets pissed off at them enough to want them dead.
It’s not just Hitler, it’s every place. I don’t know exactly why, but Jews just find a way to piss everyone off every single time.
So what spawned the tradition that Jewishness passes down the through the mother?
Talmudic Rationale (Kiddushin 68b):
"You are certain of the mother, but not of the father."
This mirrors the Roman legal principle (mater semper certa est—"the mother is always certain"), which the rabbis adapted to protect Jewish lineage.

They're too small to resist anywhere

They're too small to resist anywhere, and thus easily scapegoated. Add to it some money lending and you've just cancelled your loans.
You have got to be joking. They are by far the most privileged group in the United States.
Thus, when the Persians defeated the Babylonians and permitted the Jews to return to Jerusalem, only a minority of the Jews in Babylon actually went. After all, every Jew under 70 years old had been born and built their lives in Babylon, and the idea of leaving the functional center of civilization to rebuild a town in a provincial backwater - well, they sent well-wishes to anyone who chose to go, but the vast majority had no desire to go themselves. The ones who did go were not a random cross-section of Babylonian-Jewish society. They were the extremists, the hardened xenophobes who’d been preaching the necessity of cultural and blood purity. You might liken them to the hardcore religious Israeli settlers expanding into Palestinian land in the West Bank. Not only is it dangerous, but it’s far from the shopping centers in Tel Aviv, so a settler has to be very committed to the cause. The Jews returning to Jerusalem from Babylon were cut from similar cloth. ...
It’s no surprise, then, that the most consistent theme of non-Jews’ writings about Jews during this period has to do with their contempt for everyone else around them. The Greek historian Diodorus of Sicily, for example, complained that Jews “show good will toward none but their own.” A little later, the Roman Tacitus would record a similar criticism:
"Among themselves they are inflexibly honest and ever ready to shew compassion, though they regard the rest of mankind with all the hatred of enemies. They sit apart at meals, they sleep apart, and though, as a nation, they are singularly prone to lust, they abstain from intercourse with foreign women; among themselves nothing is unlawful. Circumcision was adopted by them as a mark of difference from other men. Those who come over to their religion adopt the practice, and have this lesson first instilled into them, to despise all gods, to disown their country, and set at nought parents, children, and brethren."
It’s likely that accounts written by foreigners contained exaggerations and misunderstandings, but in any case the Jews were intensely insular and xenophobic, and this led to predictably bad relations with virtually all of their neighbors. When Paul said that the Jews had “made themselves the enemies of all mankind,” he wasn’t making an ontological observation, but a straightforward sociopolitical one. ...
For the Pharisees and others, the Jews’ separateness had become an end in itself. ...
The Jewish liturgical calendar is dominated by ceremonies in remembrance of the wrongs done to them by Gentile nations. This was how they kept their people on the reservation for centuries when being Jewish often carried social and legal disabilities that could be wiped away for any Jew who converted to Christianity (or, later, Islam). In another essay, I remarked on a 2021 Pew poll of American Jews, asking what they considered to be the most important aspect of Jewish identity. Far and away the most common answer was “remembering the Holocaust.” Not religious observance, not even Zionism, but “remembering what the Gentiles have done to us.”

But that "sanctified us" (kidshanu) can also be read as "separated us":
So a core principle of Judaism is separation from other people. This is literally what it means to be holy.
In other words, holiness is a rejection of all other people. This inevitably leads to hostility against the Jews, which further increases the separation in a feedback loop.
So my argument here is that Judaism itself creates antisemitism, which in turn helps to maintain Judaism. Without antisemitism, Jews would assimilate and no longer be Jews. So it is in the interest of Judaism to create some degree of antisemitism.
