Why is Hitler hated more than Stalin?

Question

In his lifetime, hitler did not personally kill anyone, he ordered the extermination of over 3 million jews, handicapps, jypsies, blacks, and all that opposed him.

But Stalin Proudly claims to have personally killed 15,000 people and ordered millions more killed, of his own people! collectively, he caused the death of over 43 million people!

i am not argueing for Hitler, im just saying its irrational.

YOU PEOPLE AREN'T GETTING IT!!! I WANT TO KNOW WHY! I DON'T CARE THAT THEY ARE GOING TO HELL OR THAT THEY ARE EVIL, YOU ARE ALL IDIOTS!!!!

Answer 1

Back in the 30's the US took a blind eye towards Stalin. We looked at how quickly he built industry in Russia. He was also one of are Allies during WWII. During war you demonize your enemy, Hitler, in this case.

Answer 2

Stalin and Mao and many Communist rulers are not in the public consciousness of evil as much as Hitler because Hollywood, the media, and the universities have sympathy for extreme left ideologies.
Everyone in America knows all about McCarthyism, but they have no clue about the scale: 1 Senator persecutes hundreds (they lose jobs, get black-listed, all very unjust), up against an anti-religion, anti-freedom ideology that kills about 100 million people.
People also forget that Communism was an expansionist sytsem that wanted to rule the world. There were spies. The Rosenburgs got the atomic bomb for the USSR.

Answer 3

(a) Hitler was as callous as Stalin at his worst about Russian deaths.

1. Between 3 and 4 million Soviet POWs were allowed to die of deliberate neglect (exposure, malnutrition, and disease, not to mention some gruesome medical experiments).

2. Hitler could have captured Petersburg/Leningrad in the early weeks of the war, but instead used it for experiments in mass starvation (Dallin, p. 78). Unfortunately for him, the survivors of the first horrible winter (1941-1942) made Petersburg a continuing thorn in his side.

Later note: other sources, eg Alan Clark (Barbarossa: The Russian-German Conflict 1941-1945, William Morrow and Company, New York, 1965) doubt that Hitler could have captured Petersburg/Leningrad easily, fortified as it was by water barriers and numerous heavy stone buildings. But Hitler's callous plans to kill off the inhabitants remain on record.

3. And of course one should not forget the Jews Hitler massacred in Ukraine (approx. 900,000), Russia (approx. 100,000), Belarus (approx 245,000), and the Baltics (approx 228,000).

(b) Hitler's future plans for Russia's Slavic peoples (Russians, Ukrainians, and Belarussians) were the crudest sort of colonial exploitation. While Stalin provided secondary education to all, plus many university slots, Hitler closed down all education above the fourth grade in occupied Soviet territory (except for certain relatively privileged minorities, eg the Balts) [Dallin, pp. 458-466].

(c) While Stalin kept millions in the GULag, Hitler deported 2.7 million slave laborers from Soviet territory to Germany under conditions often no better.

(d) Some anti-Stalinists overrate the influence of German officials who supported the "Russian Libereration Army" movement of POW General Andrei Andreyevich Vlasov, promoting an anti-Communist alliance between Germany and Russians. But Hitler made clear time and time again that he did not want Russian allies (notably on 19 May 1943 -- Dallin, p. 572).

Answer 4

don't you know? the life of a Jew is worth much more than the life of any other human being. If you went to school in the US, you would know what i'm talking about. How many times did we learn about the Holocaust, and how many times did we read the Diary of Anne Frank? I think we did that in every grade starting with 7th! And how many times did we learn about the atrocities committed by Stalin? And what about the unjust incarceration of thousands of Japanese-Americans done by the US? I only learned about it in AP US History in 11th grade! And now take a look at the current situation in Palestine. ONE Israeli SOLDIER has been taken hostage, and now an entire nation of Palestinian civilians are being put under siege in Gaza, their houses demolished, their water cut off, their power plants destroyed, their bridges and other means of transporting medical supplies and food have been destroyed... all under the pretext of saving ONE JEW (who is a soldier...). And i'm not saying that Hitler is wrongly hated. Of course not, he's a terrible monster and it's unfortunate he wasn't mercilessly tortured to death. But to sum up my answer, especially in the US, the life of a Jew is considered greater than that of anyone else, and that is why Hitler is hated so much. and no one better call me anti-semetic. i love jews, and i respect Judaism as a legitimate monotheistic religion. I just hate zionists.

Answer 5

more than anything, it's because, in the US, anyway, far more people know about Hitler's wrongs than know about Stalin's. Yes, Stalin killed many millions more than Hitler, but most people in this country have never heard of Stalin, let alone his crimes.

That's our wonderful public education system for ya.

Answer 6

Stalin didn't start invading other countries with a plan of global hegemony like Hitler did. They both killed a lot of people though.

Answer 7

He lost the war as an enemy of both England and USA. Of course he would be hated more than Stalin.

Answer 8

The world saw what Hitler did & he tryed to take over the world.

Answer 9

Hitler got more press time.

Answer 10

They are both the personification of evil and one is not "better" than the other. They both are "first among equals."
