Was Adolf Hitler Jewish?

Question

How do you know?

Answer 1

There were rumours that Hitler was one-quarter Jewish [1] and that his paternal grandmother, Maria Schicklgruber, became pregnant while working as a servant in a Jewish household. 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. According to Robert G. L. Waite in The Psychopathic God: Adolf Hitler, Hitler made it illegal for German women to work in Jewish households, and after the "Anschluss" (annexation) of Austria, Hitler had his father's hometown obliterated by turning it into an artillery practice area. Hitler seemed to fear that he was Jewish, and as Waite points out, this fact is more important than whether he actually was.

Answer 2

Was Hitler Jewish

Answer 3

No, he was raised Roman Catholic and came from Austria, the Austrians speak German and are considered the same basic ethnicity as Germans, he dabbled in the occult, made some statements that people point to that make him seem like he may have been an atheist, he was a Contradiction. Hitler believed that he was part of a master race of Germanic peoples who are better than everyone else and felt that the Jews in particular are a loathsome and inferior race, also dangerous because they look somewhat similar to other European peoples, live near them and can be a contamination to the "pure aryan" or "pure Germanic" DNA. recently, they did a DNA test on people who are close blood relatives and found that some of Hitler's DNA was almost certainly close to that of the DNA that many Jewish people have, the issue is not that he was "Jewish" but that he was not the full blooded Germanic that he advocated as the ideal race. but then again, go back far enough in anyone's history or DNA and I doubt that you will find many people who are completely "pure" if there even is such a thing.

Answer 4

O.K here goes...

Hitler's father at birth was marked as illegitimate. He had no father willing to own him as his. His mother's name was Maria Anna Schicklgruber, making him Aloys Schicklgruber.

There are many rumours on who the father is. Some believe a young wealthy Jew impregnated her while she was a servant in his household. His name was Frankenberger or Frankenreither. This is where his Jewish roots supposedly come from. Later in this man's life it is documented he paid her monetarily, I guess like child support. Now Hitler's supporters will say this is just his enemies spinning stories to take him down.

Johann Georg Hiedler, a christian, eventually changed the status on official records as illegitimate to legitimate excepting Alois as his own blood, son of his brother. Hiedler became Hitler and so the story goes. There are those that believe he did that knowing it was a lie, for his brother had married Alois's mother and died 3 years later leaving him to take after him. Supposedly there was financial intentions behind the name change. In either case there is no way of proving anything abotut his father's father because his hometown with the records was bombed in his war. Some will say he did this on purpose to keep the truth from being known. Also, some speculate this is why Hitler never had children, he despised the Jews that much.

Hitler was well aware of this theory, he had his own men look into it who I believe came back with most distressing news. He pushed it off in the media as his enemies trying to take him down. Bastard children cut him deeply, and some speculate his father's early illegitimate status left deep hatred for the Jewish culture.

Answer 5

"My feelings as a Christian points me to my Lord and Savior as a fighter. It points me to the man who once in loneliness, surrounded by a few followers, recognized these Jews for what they were and summoned men to fight against them and who, God's truth! was greatest not as a sufferer but as a fighter. In boundless love as a Christian and as a man I read through the passage which tells us how the Lord at last rose in His might and seized the scourge to drive out of the Temple the brood of vipers and adders. How terrific was His fight for the world against the Jewish poison. To-day, after two thousand years, with deepest emotion I recognize more profoundly than ever before the fact that it was for this that He had to shed His blood upon the Cross. As a Christian I have no duty to allow myself to be cheated, but I have the duty to be a fighter for truth and justice... And if there is anything which could demonstrate that we are acting rightly it is the distress that daily grows. For as a Christian I have also a duty to my own people.
