Getting rid of every other person they found "undesirable" was just a sweet bonus

This is at best an extremely contentious claim and one that I personally would pretty much categorically disagree with

It's true that around five million other people died as well, but that number is divided among many other groups of people rather than just one. 

two points here. First, for a bunch of different reasons, the non Jewish death total is much more difficult to calculate than the Jewish death total. I've heard academics I respect (who, if it matters at all, are themselves Jewish) go as high as 14 million non Jewish victims. Second, that doesn't in itself prove the kind of unique role of antisemitism you're arguing for here. Nor does the existence of antisemitism in Germany society beforehand - there was plenty of vitriol against a lot of different groups including Slavs that you could point to.

I do happen to think that antisemitism was central to Nazi ideology in a unique way but it's hardly something you can take as a given
