Why Did Hitler Hate The Jews?

Why did Hitler hate the Jews? This question is very difficult to answer and there have been many theories attached to Hitler’s hatred of the Jews. Hitler exhibited strong hatred towards Jews right from childhood. It was understood that he had two Jewish friends and he used to hate them both when he was a child. What really happened between them was not clear.

Hitler’s father had two wives and he was very abusive man. Some believe that the other wife was a Jewish woman and that is why Hitler’s mother was abused at his father’s hands. Most of it was gossip or guess work by people in an attempt to understand why he hated Jews so much. There should be some strong reason for that which comes from deep within. His autobiography “Mein Kampf” suggests that Hitler was a racist who had a chip on his shoulder about being a non-Jew.

Another reason was that in most of Europe the Jewish people were known as communists and even Germany was called a Jewish country. Though a lot of Jews lived in the country there was not even one member in any politically party who was Jewish. Also, later Hitler started calling the Jews homosexuals and this resulted in the killing of homosexuals whether they were Jews or not. He got into some act of ethnic cleansing and was creating a witch’s brew. However, what no one could come to terms with until today is Hitler’s act of mass killing were thousands of Jews were killed at one time.
