From whom did Hitler learn to hate Jews?

Answer 1

according to some historians, notably A.J.P Taylor as well as Sir Vansittart and even Shirer, anti-semitism had been present for a long time and did not start with Hitler. He had been influenced by a long tradition of hate towards Jews. This dates back centuries, probably originating with Christians blaming Jews for the death of Christ. Jews were made outsiders, and the only way to survive was to follow occupations such a money-lending. This only made people hate them more though. (Shakespeare even used this stereotype for the character Shylock in 'The Merchant Of Venice')

Although Hitler himself was not a Christian, he was influenced by these views, especially as his father was an anti-semite. These views were enhanced upon reading the works of Luther while in prison (although he was already a firm anti-semite by this time) and he used Jews as a scapegaot for everything wrong with Germany. The only reason some people agreed with him on this policy, is that they agreed.

Hitler was not a Christian, he did not believe in God. Thats why there was a persecution of Churches. He was actually pagan, but Germany didn't support him there. (he set up the German Faith Movement, a teutonic pagan cult, but it was unpopular)

Answer 2

Look up Martin Luther and find his Work titled ... On the Jews and Their Lies... Written in 1543. Hitler read that while in prison or about the time he wrote his own hate book. Hitler was not the initiator of all that in Germany. Those folks had a long history of hateing Jews. he just exploited that hate by selectivly using works from many "religious" sources. not just Martin Luther. Though in his later years Martin Luther was a bitter old man and took a lot of anger out on the Jews. he did do some good in getting some "reform" started for the Christian folks. Unfortunatly too many of those who claim to be Christian are anti semite in fact, and use the works of Luther to support their hateful position.

Note: no true Christian is anti semetic... our Lord and Mastor is King of the Jews.

Answer 3

Frankly I don't know from whom Hitler learned to hate the Jews. I know that when Pilate was asking the Jews of Jesus' time about saving Jesus their reply was, "His blood be upon us and upon our children". Maybe the Father in heaven was listening. The Jews have been persecuted throughout history. In the middle ages they didn't get the plague because they observed the Old Testament quarantine laws. The people at the time began thinking that the plague was somehow a Jewish plot and began killing them in droves. I think the message in the Bible about the crucifixion is that we all killed Christ. Still I wonder if the Father didn't take notice of what they said.

Answer 4

Hitler was Christian and he believed he was acting in accordance of the Almighty god. Hitler and the rest of Germany hated Jews for many differnt reasons but a big reason that gets overlooked is that according to the way people look at the history of Christianity, Jesus was sold out by the Jews...and they still don't even acknowledge that Jesus is the son of god...So maybe being that Hitler was Christian he felt he was getting revenge...The site i provided is really interesting it contains Hitlers actual quotes on the subject.

Answer 5

Jewish (Juden) people were like slaves. They were chep working force, so the german people couldn`t find job that will be well paid!
Hitler wasnt anti-semit before his 18 year, he started being afte he left his home and had lived in the city of Bech - Vienn streets! That is written in the first chapter of Mein Kampf!

Answer 6

It may have been that Adolph hated Jews from his time in art school when he was judged only good enough to paint houses.

But it may have been a long standing European tradition of mistrust of Jews who some Christians felt were the ones responsible for the death of Christ.

Answer 7

From the Jews!
He needed a scape goat to unite the people, and the Jews fitted the bill.

Answer 8

He was just pure evil. That's it.

The writings of Martin Luther is one important source from which he learned to hate Jews.

Answer 9

He developed hatred for the Jews because he was rejected from the "gymnasium", a prestigious school in Germany. He believed that Jewish students had taken his spot in the academy.

Answer 10

Well, He didn't learn it from anyone. Germany was suffering econimaclly during the 30's and he saw that the Jews were succsful, so he decided that he would prosacute them.
