What caused Hilter to hate the Jews so much?

Answer 1

Hitler's grandmother on his father's side was a housekeeper in the home of a Jewish family. When she left she was pregnant with his father. His grandmother spent as much time working multiple jobs to provide the best home possible for her son but he still was a bitter angry man. When Hitler was a boy his father beat him once to the point of a week long coma. The best information I have found is that because the grandmother did not have a husband and she never did disclose the identity of the father ~ she inadvertantly caused a sense of hate to build in her son which was passed on to Hitler.

Answer 1

No one will ever know. There are many half-cooked theories about things from his past, but none of them are likely.

Answer 2

Nothing forced Hitler to hate the Jews; he chose to do so. Hitler was very aware and cognizant of everything he said and everything he did. He was an incredible orator, able to motivate tens of thousands of people with his passionate beliefs about the greatness of the German people. He was well aware of how effective he was in galvanizing support for his atrocities and planned elaborate systems for maintaining the bureaucracy that drove it. He also spent a lot of time and effort in developing the ideology that would drive this hatred. Hitler was not a machine, but a man and a very passionate one who freely chose to commit one of the greatest atrocities in history.

Additionally, the phrasing of this question would offend numerous people because it assumes that the Jews were guilty of committing some sort of offense and were therefore rightfully castigated. While it is not true to say that Jews were innocent lambs, the Jews did not do half of the negative nonsense that is attributed to them in order to "justify" Anti-Semitism and violence against them. Jews have been punished for being different, unique, and misunderstood and never did anything worth punishing them for in the same way that Africans never did anything to merit enslavement. These actions were taken on account of bigotry and self-supremacy, not based on any system of equitable justice.

Answer 3

He hated Jews since his childhood because his mother was diagnosed with breast cancer and a Jew Doctor Who worked for the poor gave his mother a medication that killed her. Ever since then he has believed that Jews were just out to kill people and to eventually take over the world.
