Can anyone give me a logical reason for why Hitler hated Jews?

Question

Okay... let's cut the fat out...

Why did Hitler hate the Jews to death? Is it from his personal experiences? Or Did any Jew in his lifetime influence him?

Was his family member killed by any Jews?

Or did Hilter have brain damage?

One thing I heard was Hitler used Methamphataime (his docter injected him) at the late stage of the war. Is this something to do with his hatred to the Jews?

Answer 1

My conclusion is that Hitler had a small penis. He blamed his Jewish heritage for his shortcomings.

Answer 2

This is not a simple question and there are many points of view. Clearly in the process of gaining control of government during a time of great economic depression, having someone or something to point at as the “cause” is one way of getting people behind you and Hitler did use such tactics, but beyond that it is less clear.

There is no doubt that Hitler passionately hated the Jews. It was a subconscious need of finding scapegoats for his inner conflicts, and frustrations. Neither in the Mein Kampf nor in any Nazi literature can one find accounts of Hitler having unpleasant encounters, frictions or quarrels with Jews; it looks like that Hitler had very few personal or social contacts with Jews.

Answer 3

It doesn't make sense to hate a group of people that one is a descendant of. So trying to find a reason as to why Hitler hated the Jews is a oxymoron. He was of Jewish descent himself, but there was something in his background that made him feel as though he should be able to exterminate all Jews in Europe. This has been debated since WWII and no one will able to give a clear explanation as to why. The fact of the matter is it could have been personal experience, mental illness, drug addiction, or a combination of many things. We will never know the true reason since he isn't alive to tell anyone what his beef with them was.

Answer 4

There was no logic to it. Hitler was an opportunist who found an unpopular scapegoat for social and economic ills. The population were quite willing to go along with believing that these 'outsiders' had somehow plotted against the German people. They were not that popular to start with but it is still maintained that the general population did not know of their treatment in the camps.
As for personal experience, as a young man Hitler was refused entrance to the Vienna Academy of Art in his native Austria. His paintings were described as naive. He felt that prominent Jews on the Academy's selection committee were responsible for this.
In later life, Hitler was not well with a number of illnesses. This led him to act rashly to try and complete the war too quickly. Luckily, the Allies were able to capitalize on his mistakes.

Answer 5

Logical? No. Hate of that magnitude is never logical.

We get a hint of why in his early years though. Adolf Hitler was born in 1889 in a small Austrian village close to the German border, the son of a border customs clerk and a housemaid. As a teenager, he began to develop an artistic talent. At age 16 he quit high-school. At age 17 he applied for the Vienna academy of fine arts, but was rejected. When he was 14 his father died, and when he was 18 his loving mother had cancer. She was treated by a Jewish Doctor, but despite costly and painful treatment she died. He was then 18, and alone in the world.

Answer 6

Simple.
Germany was a disaster, because of WWI.
People were starving. It took a wheelbarrow of paper money to buy a loaf of bread.
Many of the Jews were rich or well off. They owned many of the businesses.
Hitler blamed the Jews for raping the country. (Did he actually believe it, or was it just to blame someone to gain power?)
As far as I know, the Jews worked and earned this money they had.
Simple:
People starving.
Jews had money.
Blame the Jews.

Answer 7

Very simply after WWI, Germany's economy was in the tank. People were literally starving, there was no work. It was a very bad time for the average German. The Jews (in Hitlers mind) had the education, they had many of the businesses, and they weren't suffering like the average German. So in order to get Germans employed he felt the quickest way to accomplish this was, remove the Jew, replace with the German.

Answer 8

Well, his Mom died in the hospital, and the doctor was a Jew. But I don't believe that's reason enough. He was a madman, who told the Germans that the Jews were the cause of all problems, and they must be wiped up, just for him to gain power. That's what he did. Killed so many innocent people in the name of corruption.

Answer 9

When you strip away a person's skin and hair, there is no way to determine his race or religion. The point is, there are no logical, rational reasons for hatred. Hate is an emotion, and racism is an emotional response. I don't know enough about Hitler's life to comment on when or how he learned to hate, but look around...racism in particular, and hatred in general, are both alive and well in this forum.

Answer 10

Hitler hated Jews right from beginning.And ,wrongly held them responsible for defeat of Germany in First World War.There is no reason one finds about somebody's bias.

Answer 11

you cant hint it back to a minimum of one pin element 2nd, whether there are a number of myths. the real deal is that hating the jews become a characteristic of that element in Germany as become the transforming into circulate of fascism which referred to as for severe nationalism. by ability of making the Jews the undemanding enemy, Hitler had an much less complicated time brainwashing the German inhabitants.
