no... way off the mark. Hitler used the jews as scapegoats because European leaders had always done so. The Russians had progroms and the English evicted all the jews. Truth is Hitler had no personal reason to attack the jews. It was a political calculation to attack a group that was both visible and traditionally repressed.
Despite much propaganda the holocaust is only unusual in its industrial scale. Hitler's rise to power was propelled by corporate fears of the rise of workers' parties. Much in the same way McCarthyism and the Red Scares were formed.
The reason Hitler ascended to power was that corporations needed someone to stop the nascent socialist insurgency. Instead of telling workers to join a party that fought to deny workers' rights, the Nazi party played on the millennial prejudice against the jewish people.
The people in power today are much closer to German facism than school propaganda would lead you to believe. Look into the re-institution of fascist regimes on the part of the US and the UK after the end of WWII (especially Greece)

first of all, watch what you type/write because this borders on "what?". it is also garbage but garbage when well written is a lot better to 'take' than that which is written by an illiterate. now that i've thoroughly dissed you, i'll answer. all people have reasons for doing everything but adolf did not hate the jews due to reasons you state. adolf just rode the theme of europe at the time. he actually took it to the next level and because feelings were primarily anti-jewish, he experienced very little resistance. why stop the man who is doing what we are thinking? huh? no, his anti-jewish stance actually stemmed from his warped mind when in 1919, he wanted to go to an art academy & his entrace was denied. he blamed the jewish scholars and the rest is history. sad, really, that he was wrong about his thoughts; sad because the world was changed not for the better - for the want of an art scholarship. i mean, if you could go back in time, wouldn't you send this boy to (art) camp instead of rearranging europe and other places. we wouldn't have had to create israel, have millions dead, a divided germany, oh the list is endless. well, did hitler have an agenda? certainly only not the one you seem to think!

Anti-Semitism was a 4 centuries old tradition in Germany before Hitler was so much as a gleam in his father's eye! All this stuff about Hitler being mistreated by Jews is B.S. And even if it were true, would that justify what he did? So one @sshole pisses me off, does that give me the right to wipe his whole entire race off the face of the earth? I don't think so, do you?

No. Hitler often attended anti-Semitic rantings in beer halls and such. He picked up on this and he also bought into the myth that the Jews backstabbed Germany during the peace talks after the first world war.

If I remember correctly, Hitler hated the Jews so much because he just had bad experienced with them in the past. There were simple thing, however.
And he was not all Jewish, but had some Jewish blood in him.

Well apparently he used to be homeless at some point, and he was jealous of the rich Jews that walked past him in the street.
However he convinced other people that the reason was because Jews were "dirty" and were the reason for any bad things that had been happening in the country.
But basically he had no fair reason, he was just a psycho who wanted any excuse to kill people!

I do believe it was due to his grandiose insanity. He was also a meth head and was in a drug induced psychosis.
