Would he go to everlasting paradise? And, would the Jewish atheists being tortured in the concentration camps and thrown into the furnace wake up after death to find themselves being tortured in hell forever?

Hitler was raised christian, yes. In later laugh he railed out against Christianity and even killed Christians.

Interesting how nobody addressed the poor atheist who lived a life of torture only to be tortured for eternity by a madman who will now live forever in paradise. Christians believe by the millions what only a lunatic would believe alone.

Something tells me that right before he pulled the trigger, he probably asked for forgiveness.
Afterall, he had a religious upbringing, and we are always told there are no Atheists in foxholes. So why wouldn't he ask for forgiveness at the last minute.
That would make for uncomfortable conversation in heaven.
"So, Hitler, how is paradise?" "Pretty good, I guess, I am glad there are no Jews here."
Kinda brings home the point, doesn't it.

What do you think is worse? An eternity of Hell, or a lifetime of Hell? If a person "deserves" Hell, it's going to be eternal, right? What difference does it make how they died, they're going to Hell anyway... Seriously, think about that... Hell is said to be eternal torment.. Think long and hard about what that means.
Does it make sense that an atheist who had an easy life and died peacfully will burn in Hell, and an atheist who had a hard life and died a terrible death will go to.. somewhere else? Does it make sense that the authority figure would say, since life was Hell, you're exempt from eternal Hell. Eternal torment is only resevered for people who had easy lives.
I'm not saying that Jews or atheists deserve to be in Hell. I'm just saying that if you're destined for Hell, it would make no difference how you died, because you're already destined for eternal torment.
As far as whether they deserve to go to Hell for not believing in Christ or Hitler "accepting" Christ on his death bed (even though he already was a Christian...), no person can answer that question. People might *think* they know what happens after death, but no one *really* knows. Maybe there is no God. Maybe there is a God, and He *does* let them in. Maybe Hitler is in Heaven, maybe he's in Hell. It's funny, every one thinks they know God, even people who don't believe in God. We just need to do our best and hope for the best, because that's really all any one can do.
EDIT:
What do you mean "Interesting how nobody addressed the poor atheist who lived a life of torture only to be tortured for eternity by a madman who will now live forever in paradise."??!!
Did you not read my answer???

It is a little known fact, but Hitler was actually devout Christian his entire life. He even had his own personal priest. He just hid it because he thought religion made people look weak. Check your WW2 history.
So, hypothetically speaking Christianity is correct and "heaven" exists, this is what will happen: When you Christians die, you're gonna meet up with Hitler in heaven because he was Christian and Christians go to Heaven. When you get there, why don't you ask him why he murdered 6 million people? Then ask your god why he let 6 million of his "chosen people" get murdered.

If he accepted Christ and meant it then yes. But then again he killed himself so that sends he in the oposite direction. Let me clear up a few answers.... Lets say hitler claimed to be a christian..... he is in hell. Many who claim to be christian will not go to heaven. Claiming it and being it are two different things. Those who say he did what he did because he was a christian are idiots. A true christian would follow the Bible and teachings of Jesus.

What makes you think you can accept Jesus on a whim?
"No one can come to the Son except the Father draws him." John 6:44
You cannot come to Christ, and you will die in your sins and face the consequences of every evil thought word and deed you have ever committed, because you choose to blaspheme God and His appointed Savior rather than to humble yourself, acknowledge your own wickedness and hostility towards God and repent and believe the Gospel.
So don't worry about whether Hitler is in heaven, since you won't be there yourself.
May I state it quite plainly, that goes for everyone who agrees with your twisted reasoning.
Frankly, you wouldn't like heaven, because there is no one there like you.

This "if" is predicated upon being called by God in the first place, which he was not. Therefore, he was not about to "accept" or repent and turn to God/Christ. So the rest is irrelevant.
You know neither the will of God or His power regarding Jews who died, and all mankind for that matter.

Why do people have such a hard time accepting a God who sends people to hell when he tells them thats what happens to those who reject Christ? He offers all of us the opportunity to accept and go to Heaven, if someone refuses, how is that God's fault? If you are drowning and I throw you a life preserver, and you just kick it away and refuse to use it and drown anyway, is it now my fault that you drowned and would you say I am the bad guy because you drowned? I really don't get it. Refuse the life preserver = drowning. Accepting the life preserver and using it=living. Its really that simple. The choice is yours to make.

It is pretty well documented that Hitler committed suicide. Had he been converted, he would not have committed suicide. However, had he been converted, he might have been murdered because he converted. But yes, if he was converted (a very remote possibility) he will be raised to to eternal life, and we will all know it.

Perhaps he did accept Christ and even asked forgiveness for his sins. My guess is God will judge according to his deeds and true nature and at the time when that happens I will be trying to decide how I will justify my own life. God is the only one of us equipped to determine what is truly in someone's heart be they Christian, Atheist, Jew, concentration camp guard or prisoner.

I'm not christian but the answer is yes for the 9000th time, which is one of the problems people have with christianity,
it isn't about doing right or wrong, but about accepting a person as thier "lord".
