If you see a person with physical features associated with semitic heritage and the last name Stein, what would be your first guess as to their religion? Take into consideration that many people (I'd estimate half) who aren't prejudiced against Jews still think that Jewish is a racial decription rather than a religious or ethnic description, and you get the idea. It's unfortunate, but Hitler managed to create a widespread blurring of the line between race and religion.

He said Europe, not Germany. Anti-Semitism was widespread outside of Germany and was not necessarily linked to the Nazis.
