Why did adolf hitler hate so much the jews and jehovah witness?
There are many reasons why Hitler began his terrible reign of terror, mostly focused on Jews, although we should not forget gypsies, those with disabilities etc. Firstly Hitler needed a scapegoat to blame for the Treaty of Versailles, and he called them the ‘Novemeber Criminals’. This justified his means of reversing the Treaty and claming back territory. He had held a hate campaign for many reasons. Dating back to the medeival period Jews have been seen as a minority in society. They were less affected by the Black Death that many other groups and some saw this as witchcraft. During other events in history they have remained a minority and seemingly unaffected (although this is to be debated). They were also intellectuals and prosperous, and Hitler feared their intelligence as it meant they were more critical of hi policies and were more aware to what he was doing i.e. introducing a reign of censorship and terror. Hope this helps.
They did nothing to him, except that they didn’t worship him. There was a lot of literature circulated before and after Hitler’s birth blaming the Jews for everything but hoof and mouth disease, and every piece of writing was based on lies. Hitler wanted a scapegoat so he used the Jews as reason for Germany’s defeat in World War 1. The libelous writings were used by Hitler to justify his actions. The J.W. crowd just refused to follow in lock-step to his rantings so he made an example of them.
I have read the first few chapters of Mein Kampf (his autobiography) and have also seen a few documentaries, and it seems he hated the Jews for ruining Germany in the first world war, for supporting Communism, and for being too rich. See, most of the rich folk were Jews. Most of the poor ones were not. So Hitler emerged as a demagogue, feeding on the prejudice and hatred of the destitute, coming to power by promising to penalize the Jews for their sins. Moreover, the Jews, Hitler believed, had betrayed Germany by declaring German surrender in the First World War. Of course, this was all an excuse for power, and a lie. None of the Jews of the Holocaust deserved such a terrible fate.
