After watching movies about the second Word War I asked myself many times why did Hitler do everything to destroy the Jews. There were about 42 000 camps with Jewish prisoners in Europe at that time. I started to read about it and found some interesting information.
Childhood
Once little Adolf was walking along the streets of Vienna and his attention was attracted by a talarez and a man with black curly hair who wore it. The picturesque appearance left such a strong impression that Hitler decided to learn more about the Jews.
Early literature was very antisemitic and it sounds strange now but at first Hitler was appalled by the persecution of the Jews. But later the Fuhrer changed his attitude towards the Jews and it was one of hate.
Different sources give different reasons.
Political. Jews tried to attract neutral countries to an anti German alliance and the Fuhrer saw a threat of them destroying Germany intelligence. Hitler considered Jewish as smart troublemakers and he was afraid that they would start to subjugate first Germany and then the whole world.
Religious. He was taking revenge on the Jews for killing Jesus Christ.
Low race. Hitler divided nations into three levels: the highest - the Aryans, the medium - Slavic and the lower - Jewish and Gypsy.
Spread of syphilis. It is rumored that Hitler was infected by a Jewish prostitute with syphilis and he couldn't treat it. As most Jews propagandized commercial marriages, spouses were looking for love outside the marriage which led to the spread of venereal diseases.
Personal dislike.
- His father had Jewish roots and he was beating's Adolf's mother and little Adolf.
Hitler's parents
- Hitler had to hide his Jewish origins as at that time in Germany there was a negative attitude to the Jews.
- Hitler's grandfather was a Jew and once he beat Adolf and damaged one his testicles.
- His mother died because of malpractice by the doctor with Jewish roots.
- The teacher of Adolf who humiliated him at school was a Jew.
- Failure to enter the Academy of Art because of a Jewish teacher.
Hitler's painting
Although some of these facts seem to contradict the fact that in the beginning Hitler was tolerant to the Jews and only later his attitude changed.
Volf Messing
Volf Messing, a very famous Jewish fortune teller who lived in Russia made a public announcement in Warsawa in 1937 that if Hitler turned to the East, he would lose. Messing was very popular and even Freud, Einstein and other famous people valued his opinion. Hitler was angry and declared Messing his personal enemy and even put a huge reward on his head.
In any case Hitler took the real reasons of his hatred for the Jews to the grave and we will never know them.
