Jews in the Holocaust symbolized the loyal Nazi in a negative form. Himmler said to his SS-men: “Your lives do not belong to you, but to the Fuehrer and the Reich.” The identical statement applies to Jews in the death camps: Their lives did not belong to themselves but to the Fuehrer and Reich. 

In creating the Holocaust, Hitler was performing a satire or parody of what happened to German soldiers in the First World War (an enactment or re-enactment): how they submitted absolutely to the German nation and were slaughtered.
