How come Hitler didn't like Jews?

Answer 1

This is wikipedia's answer:

Hitler says he first became an anti-Semite in Vienna, which had a large Jewish community, including Orthodox Jews who had fled from pogroms in Russia. However, according to a close childhood friend, August Kubizek, Hitler was already a "confirmed anti-Semite" before he left Linz, Austria. Vienna at this time was a hotbed of traditional religious prejudice and 19th century racism. Hitler may have been influenced by the writings of the ideologist and anti-Semite Lanz von Liebenfels and polemics from politicians such as Karl Lueger, founder of the Christian Social Party and mayor of Vienna, the composer Richard Wagner, and Georg Ritter von Schönerer, leader of the pan-Germanic Away from Rome! movement. Hitler claims in Mein Kampf that his transition from opposing anti-Semitism on religious grounds to supporting it on racial grounds came from having seen an Orthodox Jew, but actually it seems Hitler was not very anti-semitic in these years. He often was a guest for dinner in a noble Jewish house, and Jewish merchants tried to sell his paintings.[9]

Hitler may also have been influenced by Martin Luther's "The Jews and Their Lies". Kristallnacht took place on November 10 - Luther's birthday - and resembles Luther's own advice on how the Jews should be dealt with.

"There were very few Jews in Linz. In the course of centuries the Jews who lived there had become Europeanized in external appearance and were so much like other human beings that I even looked upon them as Germans. The reason why I did not then perceive the absurdity of such an illusion was that the only external mark which I recognized as distinguishing them from us was the practice of their strange religion. As I thought that they were persecuted on account of their faith my aversion to hearing remarks against them grew almost into a feeling of abhorrence. I did not in the least suspect that there could be such a thing as a systematic anti-Semitism.

Once, when passing through the inner City, I suddenly encountered a phenomenon in a long caftan and wearing black side-locks. My first thought was: Is this a Jew? They certainly did not have this appearance in Linz. I carefully watched the man stealthily and cautiously but the longer I gazed at the strange countenance and examined it feature by feature, the more the question shaped itself in my brain: Is this a German?"
(Mein Kampf, vol. 1, chap. 2: "Years of study and suffering in Vienna")

In his Mein Kampf, Hitler referred to Martin Luther as a great warrior, a true statesmen, and a great reformer, alongside Richard Wagner and Frederick the Great.[10] Wilhelm Röpke, writing after Hitler's Holocaust, concluded that "without any question, Lutheranism influenced the political, spiritual and social history of Germany in a way that, after careful consideration of everything, can be described only as fateful." [11]

Hitler claimed that Jews were enemies of the Aryan race. He held them responsible for Austria's crisis. He also identified certain forms of socialism and bolshevism, which had many Jewish leaders, as Jewish movements, merging his anti-semitism with anti-Marxism. Blaming Germany's military defeat on the 1918 Revolutions, he considered Jews the culprit of Imperial Germany's downfall and subsequent economic problems as well.

Answer 2

It wasn't only jews-it was everyone who didn't fit the perfect ayan discription. Hitler wanted to make the 'perfect' race, and Jews 'couldn't' be a part of it. Hitler and his 'perfect' race would rule the world-that was Hitler's plan. Hitler is to blame for the six million Jews who died during the Holocaust. But he's not the only one to blame. Six million non-Jews (homos, Gypsies and such) were also killed. Most were killed in concentration camps and extermination camps. TWELVE MILLION people-for no reason really. It's so hard to imagine twelve million people. If you're really interested in the Holocaust, there are many sights on the web chalk full of info. But I suggest you don't get far into what happened at the camps-horrible, unimaginable things happened there. Jews who weren't well enough to do the backbreaking labor were shot, hung, sent to the cremetoria, and gassed. It was horrible. The worst happened at the hospitals, though. And keep in mind that all of these people died for no reason-just because one man wanted a perfect race. Hope this helped.

Answer 3

Hitler was not the madman that most think he was...There was a plan in all of his actions...
Post WW1 Germany was in a great depression and the German mark had become worthless...
It took a wheel barrow of German marks to buy a loaf of bread....Also the bulk of the businessmen in Germany were Jews....If you wanted a loan you had to talk to a Jew...

Hitler saw an opportunity...He used the Jews as a "vehicle to success" so to speak...

1. He wanted to bring the Germans together as a single force. A military force.....And the best way to have a loyal military force is to have an enemy...
So he created an inhuman enemy...The Jew....
Real or imagined hatred for the Jew became a strong unifying force for the Nazi state...
2. Hitler had to have a free work force to rebuild his third Reich...Free labor to build the arms, buildings, highways...By making the Jews "non human" the taskmasters could drive more out of them....
3.Redistribution of wealth....The Jews had , through honest business ventures, built up centuries of wealth in Germany...By making them "non human" he could take all of that wealth and put it into his war machine...... Sadly right down to the gold in their teeth..

If it were any other group he would have used them instead.....So one might be cautious when hating people because any government condones it....Muslim terrorists seems to be the catch phrase of the day.....Are there plans being made???

Answer 4

he put alot of the blame on jews for the fact they lost world war 1 and the enemy's didnt even set foot in Germany. Plus after world war 1 germany went to high inflation and stufff so its was pretty horrible to live there. So with all thease promblems going on he blamed the jews for everything bad happening in Germany. He was also very anti-semnitst from the begiining cause he thought the jews had some world wide scheame to take over the world. Which in fact isnt true.

Answer 5

Hitler became anti-semitic after living in Vienna. He was a poor starving artist trying to get into the world renown art academy and was turned down. He met up with a fellow who distributed anti Jew material, and this led to him "blaming" the Jews for all Germanys problems. The Jewish community was doing well in a economic depressed Germany and everyone became bitter towards them. This is very general, anti-semitism had been flourishing in Europe for a long time. Do some research...

Answer 6

It is not that he didn't like Jewish people, he thought that everyone in the world had to be like him, a blonde, blue eyed christian. So he didn't just dislike the Jewish but many different races. Also, he thought that the Jewish people were "taking over the world" and since Hitler was power hungry, he had to destroy their race in the Holocaust.
(I'm only 10 years old!) P.S. Hitler is not his real last name! Hitler is a misspelling of Heider, his grandmother's married name!

Answer 7

He needed a scapegoat for all of his failures and to draw attention away from his mistakes, and he chose the Jews for that purpose.

Answer 8
