people are more than happy to commit horrors on others.

that's the whole point, you want a well-defined group to be able to blame, torture, and kill. because this groups existence is the 'problem' that is holding back your ideal society from existing.

and every ideology has this. they all need an amorphous boogeyman and as a label to condemn their non-believers.

And what happens when you have wiped out that group? Are there other similar examples to look at that didn't get stamped out so quickly and were able to collapse internally instead

Jews have been the scapegoat since for ever, when stuff didn’t go right pogroms happened. In the case of Nazi Germany, the discrimination lasted long enough to show that the scapegoat keeps being used, even when the minorities have been wiped out. So much of the defeats were blamed on vague and unknown inner enemies, aided by or aiding the Jews, even when there was no supporting evidence for this.
