What is the mainly reason Hitler didn like Jewish and killed thousands of them?
One theory on this is that Hitler seeked revenge on the Jews because he was full of hate and discontent for his father, who was Jewish, for abandoning him (at a very young age) & his mother. The Jews were considered an unclean and impure race by Hitler (and later other Germans). Hitler’s vision was a nation of pure anglo people, which, in his mind, would ensure superior genes, intelligence and power. Anyone considered impure — the Jews, Gypsies, homosexuals and a myriad of other types of people — were systematically herded into ghettos and subsequently concentration camps. It is said that his father was a half-jew, and he grew to hate him. Thats just a theory though. It was rumored that his biological grandfather was a Jew who employed his grandmother as a housekeeper. There has never been any proof of this and no serious researcher believes it. Hitler hated the Jews from the time he was in his late teens up. He felt they had taken over Germany in every aspect of business. Hitler was
He didn’t kill just thousands, but millions. He hated them as much as it is possible to hate, but there was no rational reason for it. There are historians making theories about it, but there was really no reason that anyone could understand. People keep asking this and think there must have been some reason, but if you have a look at Nazi ideology you see it is all insane. Hitler frequently said in his speaches that Jews were a “poison” and a great danger, and he repeated that over and over without ever giving any reason. But anti-Semitism had a long history in Europe, it was not a new idea invented by Hitler. It has roots in Christianity, Jews were blamed for the crucifixion of Jesus and Christians generally had a problem with a non-Christian minority among them, this hatred was then increased by scapegoating of Jews and a lot of lies about them (about world conspiracies etc.), but the whole thing is extremely irrational.
I don’t think you can give 1 main reason – there are a great many inter-related reasons. Hatred of the Jews was not Hitler’s idea – it was a product of the society he lived in. In post-WW1 Germany Jews were held to be responsible for “loosing” the war. I put the “loosing” in brackets because a large proportion of the German population couldn’t seem to comprehend the fact that they had actually lost. With the lack of any reasonable explanation for why Germany had capitulated the Jews were seen as scapegoats in some quarters – it must have been a Jewish conspiracy. To top this humiliation there were stringent reparations imposed upon Germany by the allies for loosing the war, and then there was the depression. Things were very hard economically and people wanted someone to blame. Surely the sorry state of the Great German Nation couldn’t be the fault of the Germans. Jews have been scape-goated throughout the centuries. I think one of the reasons for this is that they have always maintain
I doubt Hitler had strong feelings one way or the other about Jewish persons per se. The Jewish People as a concept, on the other hand, were like Gypsies, and Gays and other Groups. As individuals, he probably met quite a few and liked them or didn’t as individuals. But as groups, as concepts, he used them for scapegoats. He used them to create at atmosphere of fear. When people are scared, they are more willing to sacrafice their freedoms.
When Hitler’s mother was diagnosed with breast cancer, a Jewish doctor named Eduard Bloch took care of her.[1] By 1907 she had a mastectomy, with Bloch assisting. At first it seemed she had made a recovery so Hitler went off to Vienna to pursue painting. He returned to mourn his mother’s death later that year. It has been theorized her death after seeming improvement made him bitter towards Jews, but Bloch stated “Hitler displayed no sign of animosity or racial prejudice” on returning to hearing of her downturn.[2] Bloch stated that was one of the most mournful sons he had ever seen when she actually died. Hitler later did nothing to prevent Bloch from moving to the United States when the persecution of the Jews in Austria started. In fact, some sources indicated he passively aided it. In the opinion of historians such as Sir Ian Kershaw, if Hitler hated Bloch for the death of his mother, it seems strange that, in 1938, that Hitler did not order Bloch’s arrest. Others have indicated Hi
