Was Hitler Jewish? Cuz I heard he was.?

Answer 1

There have been rumours that Hitler was one-quarter Jewish and that his paternal grandmother, Maria Schicklgruber, had become pregnant after working as a servant in a Jewish household in Graz. During the 1920s, the implications of these rumours along with his known family history were politically explosive, especially for the proponent of a racist ideology. Opponents tried to prove that Hitler, the leader of the anti-Semitic Nazi Party, had Jewish or Czech ancestors. Although these rumours were never confirmed, for Hitler they were reason enough to conceal his origins. Soviet propaganda insisted Hitler was a Jew, though more modern research tends to diminish the probability that he had Jewish ancestors.

Answer 2

There is no clear evidence that Hitler had Jewish ancestry, and it may never be possible to tell.

The adjective Jewish is appropriate here, as the Nazis had pseudo-scientific definitions of Jewishness based on quarters and halves, depending on the parents' and grandparents' jewishness. Some Jew-ish people were classified as Jews, others as Gentiles, depending on the arithmetic.

Many in Hitler's entourage were Jew-ish people who had been granted the status of Gentiles. A famous Jew-ish Gentile is Reinhard Heydrich, the so-called architect of the "Final Solution" and organizer of the Wannsee conference, which made the Genocide of the Jews an official policy of the Third Reich. After his assassination in Prague in June 1942, Reinhard Heydrich was replaced by Adolf Eichmann, another Jew-ish Gentile. Eichmann was tried, found guilty of "crimes against humanity" and executed in May 1962.

Answer 3

Do a little research. His grandmother worked for a Jewish family, and there was a rumor that the head of the household got her pregnant; so his grandfather would have been Jewish.

That would not make Hitler Jewish.

Answer 4

His mother worked as a servant to a Jewish family and she was raped by a family member. That happened before Hitler was born. So, there's a chance that Hitler may be Jewish.

Answer 5

It's hotly disputed that Hitler was Jewish. However, (according to Wikipedia) science seems to be proving he was not.

Interesting note though, the so called Aryan race, Hitler purported was blond, blue eyed, and very white.

Take a look at any color portrait of Hitler. He has rather tanned skin, dark brown (perhaps black) hair, and brown eyes.

Answer 6

You heard wrong. He was helped by Jewish people though during the WW 1.

Answer 7

There was a jewish name in his family tree, a fact that was deliberately obscured by his official geneologist.

His family was catholic, he was catholic in younger years and progressed to a political pan-germanic christianism.

"Hence today I believe that I am acting in accordance with the will of the Almighty Creator: by defending myself against the Jew, I am fighting for the work of the Lord."
-Adolf Hitler (Mein Kampf)

Answer 8

There were always rumors he had a distant Jewish relative
but he wasn't Jewish.

Answer 9

He was reported to be 1/7th Jewish on his mother's side. His hatred of Jews came from being rejected from an art school in Austria by Jews not from his family.

Answer 10

Hitler was subhuman. No human thing could have been so screwed up as to have killed so many people...Hitler was robotic pretty much...not Jewish you silly goose!
