Where was Hitler born and what religion was he?

Answer 1

Adolf Hitler was born on April 20, 1889 at Braunau am Inn, Austria, a small town in Upper Austria, on the border with Germany. He was the third son and the fourth of six children of Alois Hitler (born Schicklgruber) (1837–1903), a minor customs official, and Klara Pölzl (1860–1907), his second cousin, and third wife. Because of the close kinship of the two, a papal dispensation had to be obtained before the marriage could take place. Of Alois and Klara's six children, only Adolf and his younger sister Paula reached adulthood. Alois Hitler also had a son, Alois Jr., and a daughter, Angela, by his second wife.

Adolf Hitler was brought up in his family's religion by his Roman Catholic parents, but as a school boy he began to reject the Church and Catholicism. After he had left home, he never attended Mass or received the Sacraments.

In later life, Hitler's religious beliefs present a discrepant picture: In public statements, he frequently spoke positively about the Christian heritage of German culture and belief in Christ. Hitler’s private statements, reported by his intimates, are more mixed, showing Hitler as a religious but also critical of Christianity. However, in contrast to other Nazi leaders, Hitler did not adhere to esoteric ideas, occultism, or neo-paganism, and ridiculed such beliefs in his book Mein Kampf. Rather, Hitler advocated a "Positive Christianity", a belief system purged from what he objected to in traditional Christianity, and reinvented Jesus as a fighter against the Jews.

Answer 4

I prefer to make short, snide remarks but in this case the question is really what caused the holocaust...or justification.

Social Darwinism created the Nazi movement, and the justification for killing the inferior species....non-caucasion races, and handicapped.

Liberals blame Nietche, But all of Europe was captivated by Darwin, including Marx and the British empire.

Answer 5

Austria, Catholicism

Answer 6

He was brought up Catholic. Have you noticed that many people who were brought up Catholic and later reject it grow to absolutely hate the Catholic Church? That was Hitler. To reiterate Adam's point, the second largest group of Holocaust victims were Catholic. At least 3000 Catholic religious (brothers and sisters), deacons, priests, and bishops were imprisoned at Dachau alone, and many did not survive. It goes without saying that practicing, believing Catholics tend to refrain from murdering their own priests and bishops!

Answer 7

He was born in Austria and claimed to be Catholic. If you ask me, he wasn't really a Catholic, because otherwise he never would have claimed that the ethnic group that Jesus came from was inferior.
