Why is Germany called the Fatherland?

It's just a term that Germans, especially nationalists, used for their own country. Although it is often associated with Nazi Germany's propaganda, the term "fatherland" was actually used by Germans long before the Nazi Party ever formed. The term even appears in the German national anthem, which was written in 1841 (nearly 50 years before Adolf Hitler was born).

Many countries have their own versions of this phenomenon, using either father or mother. Another famous example is that Russia is often referred to as a "mother", such as "Mother Russia" by Russians. There's no easy answer for why that it is so- it's just what those cultures have settled upon over the centuries.

It may seem strange because here in the United States, we typically don't use such terms. This is probably because there is no single dominant culture- the United States is made up of many cultures and mixtures thereof. We typically use more neutral terms, such as "homeland" or "our country".

How many million people were jobless in Germany in 1932?

As there were only slightly more than 2 billion people in the entire world in 1932 and the worldwide unemployment rate was under 33% the total was not even near one billion worldwide. Also a significant number of the people in the world at that time would never have been counted as unemployed as they did not have jobs to lose (e.g, housewives, children, the very old) and were dependants on others.

If we account for these nonworking people (likely well over half the world population), then total worldwide number of unemployed persons was likely well under a couple hundred million. Many of these never gotten counted as actual unemployed as they had given up and quit looking for jobs. Therefore the total worldwide actually counted officially may not have even been one hundred million.

After the Holocaust do the Germans still hate the Jews?

By and large, the answer is No. The Germans as a people underwent fundamental political changes in the late 1940s and 1950s. This required a mass re-education and atonement by Germans for the sins of the Nazi Government. As a result, today, Germans are keenly aware of the history of the Holocaust and, as a population are actively dealing with difficult questions of national idenity and Jew-hatred. Anti-Semitism is on the rise, however, in Eastern Europe more than in Germany and in Hungary in particular. These countries refuse to acknowledge their citizens' complicity with the Holocaust and are angry that Jews keep "pointing it out".
