Why was Hitler against Jews?

Answer 1

because they were not Germans...

Answer 2

Hitler believed in evelution. He believed that human are not born equel. Life is a struggle and nature will select the best to servive. He believed that the German/Aryan is the most supirior race.

As for the Jews, he believed they are contamnating the purity of the Aryan race. They're acting like a virus making themselves stronger by making the body they ifiltrage weaker. He believed they had ruin France already. And they were working on destroying Germany, and the rest of the world.

Answer 3

Abraham Leon was a Belgian left Zionist who became a Troskyist and played an important role in the struggle against Nazism in Germany.

Before he died in Auschwitz at the age of 24 I think he wrote the definitive analysis of this question.

It's called "The Jewish Question". The full text is available online and to this day it serves as an excellent intellectual antidote to any form of racist propaganda.

I'm sorry, but one point another respondent has made is not actually correct. The Jews in Germany were not 'a society unto themselves'. There were, of course, Orthodox and hassidic jews who preferred to live in their own close communities.

Many though, were thoroughly assimilated. I have one friend whose grandmother was so assimilated that, when the anti-semitic campaigns started, was totally isolated because she had no Jewish friends.

There had been a history of anti-semitism in Germany, although the strong, progressive socialist and workers movement had prevented it from being as bad as that in Russia and Spain. Anti-semitism only became an issue in the broader population after Hitler smashed up the trade unions and the socialist movement.

Hitler's task was to deflect the anger of the German working class away from German capitalism, which had led the country to ruin.

I agree with the anwerer who made the comparison to Bush, although I have no idea whether or not either Bush or Hitler were/are, in their personal beliefs, racist.

Where they are similar is that they whip up and exploit racism to split and weaken the working class.

(Think about America right now: massive corporations are still raking in billions in profit as they destroy jobs, rob people of their retirement plans and health benefits, and call for more and more cuts to schools. Isn't it better for them to have everyone blaming immigrants for their problems, or looking under the bed for terrorists, rather than thinking about who's really responsible for this mess? In that sense, Hitler whipped up hatred for Jews for the same reason Bush whips up hatred for immigrants and Muslims.)

Hitler makes the source of his hatred of the Jews very clear in Mein Kampf. When he worked in the large industrial area of Bavaria there were exceptionally gifted socialist and trade union leaders. Many of them were Jews.

(Incidentally, in the year the Nazis scraped into power, they hardly got any votes in Bavaria.)

Answer 4

YES!!!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hitler
By the end of the war, Hitler's policies of territorial conquest and racial subjugation had brought death and destruction to tens of millions of people, including the genocide of some six million Jews in what is now known as the Holocaust.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Holocaust
The Holocaust (from the Greek holókauston from holos "completely" and kaustos "burnt"), also known as Ha-Shoah (Hebrew: השואה), Churben (Yiddish: חורבן), is the term generally used to describe the killing of approximately six million European Jews during World War II, as part of a program of deliberate extermination planned and executed by the National Socialist regime in Germany led by Adolf Hitler.[2]

Answer 5

Post WW! Germany was in ruins, but the Jewish sector of the population seemed to be recovering more quickly than the general population. Note, I said "seemed". That, coupled with the fact that Jewish society was a world unto itself, especially in Europe at that time, and with the general lack of understanding of the Jewish society, and you have a perfect scapegoat. A scapegoat was what the German population wanted, and they, along with anyone else not quintessentially German, or "Aryan" became that scapegoat. You can get more information on Hitler's twisted thoughts by reading a translation of "Mien Kampf", and Shirer's "Rise and Fall of the Third Reich". His anti-semetism is all the more puzzling when you take into account that he was himself half-Jewish. He was also an Austrian, NOT a German, NOT in the mold of the "Aryan ideal", and his family name was Schickelgruber. (See link)

Answer 6

i 've heard a ton of reason he hated Jews,now the real reason he didn't like Jews,his mother became very ill and her doctor was a Jew.well his mother died and then he blamed the doctor for her death,that along with his drug addiction,he did some pretty awful things.he was not the man his followers thought he was.

Answer 7

A couple of reasons - one day, when he was 6, little Adolf almost choked on a bagel, which traumatized him. Later on in life, it was found that his bowells would bind up after eating the chicken soup with matza balls. This is a fact.

Answer 8

Simply put,Hitler believed in the supremacy of the Aryan race over all other people.

Answer 9

to my knowledge there are two possible answers. it has been said that his father was an Austrian jew and that he was a very strict disciplinarian and this caused a hatred for his father that carried over to all jews. in addition it has been said that as a young man in Austria that he fell in love with a jewish girl, who refused his advances including marriage and this also aided and abetted his hatred.

Answer 10

To oversimply, he believed that Jews were responsible for the ruination of the German people.

Answer 11

Hitler like Bush was and is a Racist.
