To say the least it is confusing, I am just like you trying to find the truth of the matter, I think I've read somewhere that Nazi Germany even had a Jewish division! (But don't take my word for it, I am also overwhelmed by information which needs verification and sorting)
Now for a start, Hitler and Nazis had of course racist ideas, it was the thing back then and nothing special. But it wasn't as bad as they portray it, for example in a famous popularized case, they mention how Hitler snubbed a black American athlete in the Olympics. IT WAS ALL LIES! The athlete denied it, he said Hitler greeted him and smiled to him.
They tell you that Nazis hated all other races, but as a matter of fact, one Palestinian leader whom they trained and supported (Hasan Salama) was married to a German woman! (I would imagine them forbidding interracial marriage if they were as racist as they make them). They sent highly trained Germans to fight with him in Palestine against the Jews, whom lived together in Palestine and fought like brothers, Nazi Germany aided many Islamic liberation movements.
Jews themselves were divided, some hated Zionism, others embraced it and fought and killed Germans just because they were Germans even well before any labor camps. Hitler was confused at many points between compromise (sending them to Palestine), and imprisoning them. Hitler himself didn't hate the jews just for the sake of hating, I do not think any Nazi Germans did, Himmler in his childhood had Jewish friends. But their problem was with what the jews were doing. It's almost certain not all Jews were sent to labor camps and some perceived their loyalty to be to Germany.
Think of it this way, some Japanese fought for the Americans in JAPAN! While their families were imprisoned in America and their loyalty remained to the USA, I think a similar situation was in Germany.
If something is certain, that caricature image they built for Hilter, of either a mad jew hating lunatic, or someone who is a jew in disguise or a paid traitor is all false.
