The Jews in Weimar Germany, by Donald L. Niewyk 2001
Unless you're going into it in great depth, I think buying (or even reading) a whole book might be overdoing it.
The Jews were (or appeared to be) more prosperous than non-Jews at the time. Non-Jews became rather partial to conspiracy theories as to why this was the case. This ill feeling was much the same throughout the areas of Europe (and elsewhere) with conspicuous Jewish populations, btw.
Everyone who had money lost it in the hyperinflation. It didn't affect owners of real estate, or those who had non-cash investments including gold. Those who had lost everything looked around for someone to blame, thus becoming even more susceptible to conspiracy theories as above.
World War I brought about the end of the empires of Russia, Germany, Austria-Hungary and Turkey, and China's imperial regime ended about the same time. In those cases, the scapegoat-seekers chose the aristocracy to take out their frustrations on (fair enough too). Revolutions tend to find the line of least resistance when choosing a (minority to) target.
