There is no historical reference, anywhere, to the death of Jesus. Jews simply accept that, in the absence of alternative explanations, Jesus probably died much as is described in the gospels.

No. Jesus was alive over 2,000 years ago. Hitler was alive in the 1920's-1945. Thousands of years apart in the time line of history. Neither lived when the other was alive. So, it is impossible for Hitler to have killed Jesus unless he owned a time machine.

Why are Zionist Jews proud of the fact that they killed Jesus Christ?

Answer 1Zionism was a Jewish nationalist movement whose goal was to create and support a Jewish national state in Palestine. They were not a movement at the time Jesus was crucified. If there are any "Zionist" today who are proud, as you say, of the fact they killed Jesus, then they are misguided and need our prayers.Answer 2Jews, regardless of whether they are Zionist or not, do not recognize the Christian claim that they killed Jesus. Jesus was executed by a bloodthirsty Roman Tyrant: Pontius Pilate. However, Paul and Peter could not sell Christianity to the Gentiles while claiming that the Roman people were responsible for the Death of the Savior, so the line in Matthew ascribing bloodguilt to the Jews was added to avoid condemning the Romans for their act. Jews, while not major fans of Jesus are not responsible for his death and therefore are not proud or remorseful for it.
