Why had Hitler,of all other things on his mind,starte killing Jews? Mind you the hitory was written by the win

Answer 1

Hitler did not make the decision to eliminate the Jews alone.
The decision to elimante all the Jews through gas chambers was actually a decision made by the Nazi cousel of the WANNSEE CONFERENCE that took place in 1942.

Ultimately the decision to eliminate all the Jews of Europe and eventually the world was made because Hitler believed that the Jews were weakening and polluting German Blood. He believed that the Jews were responsible for Germany's problems because he saw them as unpatriotic, treacherous and disgusting.
Hitler placed the situation in the hands of his Generals and the SS to take care of the Jewish problem. The Holocaust was most directly decided by General Reinhard Heydrich (protector of Bohemia and Morevia), Gerhard Klopfer, Martin Luther, Adolf Eichman, Rudolf Lange, SS.Col. Eberhard 'Karl' Schöngarth, Dr. Joseph Bühler, Dr Stukart and D. Kreitzinger Goebbels and Geuring - Reich'sFuhrers and Dr. Georg Leibbrandt who were all Nazi Party heads.

The only participants to raise significant objections to the extermination, Drs. Kritzinger and Stuckart, are hardly sympathetic themselves.
Stuckart did not want to participate in the "FInal Solution" because he believed in the supremacy in the laws he had co- authored in the "NUREMBURG LAWS" as well as the "Blood and Honor Laws".
Stukart perffered simply to strip the Jews of their power rather than to kill them.


Worthy of note is the fact when Adolf Eichmann was interrogated by Israeli intelligence in 1960, he said that Stuckart was an energetic supporter of the "Final Solution". Obviously we have to take what Eichmann said with a grain of salt. The alien quality of reason at Wannsee is a powerful demonstration of a vastly different mindset - a common set of assumptions about Jews that all at the conference shared implicitly.

The reason why the Jews were decided to be exterminated in mass were because of a number of reasons.

#1 Areas such as Poland had large Jewish populations that were composed of aging Jews and they were proving to be to inneficient - producing weapons for German troops under slave labor - and it was seen as much too uneconomical to keep them alive.
#2 Germany was losing the war on the Russian Front and America had just joined the war effort. Fearing that Germany would lose the war, the German Reich'sfuhrers believed that the JEws would be freed and would plague GErmany once again - that is another reason they decided to eliminate them.
#3 Germany allready had a program in place to eliminate "lesser" members of society such as mentally retarted and homosexuals called the T4 EUTHANASIA PROGRAM. The Wannsee Conference decided that this program could be accelerate to solve their Jewish problem if they included gas chambers as well as mobile Gassing trucks (with redirected ehaust into the cargo chamber)

#4 The Wannsee Conference also discussed the possibility of merely sterilizing all of the JEws using XRAYS and chorosive chemicals injected into the wombs but, The Generals of the Reich were more interested in Killing all of the Jews off as quickly as possible. Sterilization was lessened to be a method to "Destroy" the Jews who had German Blood without killing them. All Jews with no German Blood were to be executed in the chambers.


#5 The reason why the German heads did not decide to simply shoot Jews on site was because it was a waste of ammunition and caused morality problems among the GErman soldiers who'd be forced to shoot men, women and children - even if they were German Jews - who were viewed as intellectually superior to the Russian JEws.

I don't believe that the "Final Solution" was made up. There are actually documents in existence from the Wansee Conference that prove that this meeting and this situation took place.

What I do believe however is that history, hollywood and the media have placed far more blame on Hitler than he was absolutely responsible for. You hear the name Hitler when you hear the word "Holocaust" but I bet you that before I wrote this article, you had probably NEVER heard of any of the other people involved...right?


If you want to see the whole story, I suggest you do research on each of the Nazi Party members, I mentioned.

Answer 2

Ah my man Adolf. He had written as part of the policies of the Nazi party to isolate or exterminate the undesirable races. Although Judism is not a race technically for whatever the reasons the Jews were hated in Europe and not just by the Germans. Hitlers ideas and methods if born in the days of Ghengis Khan would have been acceptable and he wouldv'e been regarded as a great world leader. Ghengis Khan would kill all those who opposed him after taking a city, then enslave all the women and children and was considered a great military tactition. Hitler was of the opinion that if you lined up all the races that one would be superior to all others and should rightfully rule the world. By mixing the genes of the master race with that of the lesser ones, your breeding out the best and brightest of your people. So in order to keep the race pure you must eliminate the sub-species. The jews are basically the only people in Germany not of pure blood. There are no blacks or hispanics, orientals over there to speak of so the jews were the obvious targets

Answer 3

"Mind you the hitory was written by the win", is often an excuse of the losers. This history was written by the 'winners', 'losers', and the subjugated during the conflict.

Hitler thought the Jews a disease, a threat to his control and a threat to controlling the world economic market.

Answer 4

Hitler, in his demented mind, believed in the superiority of the Aryan race. In order to establish a Reich that was to last a thousand years, it became necessary to implement the "final solution". This involved the murder of 4 million Jews to rid Aryan society of people viewed as undesirable and inferior. Lost to history is the fact that Hitler also murdered European Gypsies, criminals and the institutionalized insane.

Answer 5

well thsi person is making a really bad attempt at saying the holocaust never happened...

throughout european history, especially in germany, jews had been demonized and blamed for any problem that came up. They saw the Jewish people holding high positions with much wealth as an alien force taking over their country... Hitler didn't create this feeling, it had existed for many years.

Hitler wrote of his plans in Mein Kampf, years before he held power...so he himself documented it. Also, Hitler was an abused child whose father constantly told him that he was the bastard son of a man by the name of Schicklegruber, whom his mother had worked for as a maid... So basically adolf was a bastard son of a 16 year old jewish boy and the family's austrian maid.
He carried this with him throughout his life and with the advent of the idea of EUGENICS, he believed the only way to make Germany whole was to make it pure and so began the rounding up of Jews into ghettos and eventually into the ovens...
there is no point disputing the holocaust there are literally mountains of evidence proving that it happened as well as eye witness survivors.
anyone that tries to deny it shames themself and makes light of what millions went through.
being jewish myself I find it especially distasteful when somebody posts a question like this.

Answer 6

Well ....it was mainly because during the WW1...most of the JEWS were doing business and the rest of the people were fighting each other. So he thought that while everyone else is fighting the Jews are making money. Thats y he started hating the jews and when his hatred went out of proportion...he started killing them.

Answer 7

Hitler hated Jews because he thought that they were inferior. He wanted to create a supreme race. He decided to do that that he had to rid Europe of the Jewish faith. That's what I learned back in high school. In the late 60's and early 70's.

Answer 8

Lol It was not just hitler. most of Germany did not care for the jews because they were typically the most successfull businesses in the poor neighborhoods, kinda like the korean markets nowadays in the ghettos,so it comes to overal resentment and it basically came down to one singular event called /Kristallnacht

Answer 9

Hitler was Catholic, and since jews believe Jesus wasn't the messiah, Hitler hated the Jews and slaughtered 6 million of them.

Answer 10

Much like what the blacks suffered in the South for 200 years,the jews were hated in Germany ... JUST PLAIN RACISM !!!
