This is a broad question and it can be specified to a couple different reasons. Here are some thoughts: (and a lot of them are just theories, no one has really clearly looked into the mid of Hitler) Jealousy. Some Jews were successful and held influential positions in Austria and Germany. Hitler went along some of their parents' racism. Anti-Semitism has a long history. From ancient times (Jesus) to even present day. Jews were used as scape-goats for many, many catastrophes (like storming of Versaille, the burning of Rome, even the Death of Christ! weird, huh? etc.) The Nazis used hatred of the Jews to unify the German people and create a new German empire. Nothing unites a people more than when they believe they are constantly under attack and fighting a common enemy. Hatred - real hatred - is a terrible and dangerous thing. It can gain a total grip on people, become a complete obsession and lead them to commit appalling deeds that they would otherwise not do - even commit genocide. The man was crazy. He had mental problems. He believed that Germans were a superior race. He was jealous of Jewish people as they had always had great success. Jews were hard working people. The only reason for all this hatred and killing was jealousy. Sorry, a bit of a rant. But my history man is a crazy man and has ingrained every interesting element of WWII into my brain. Hope I helped and enjoy "Night", it is a very powerful book. I also reccommend reading "The Book Thief" if you're looking for more good Holocaust reads. :)

Hitler did not all of a sudden say, 'Hey, lets band everyone together by hating Jews.' The hatred of Jews in Europe goes all the way back to the time it became Christian. Passages in the Christian's New Testament paint "The Jews" as being the children of the devil, hypocritical, and interested only in money rather than in Gd.



Who wrote the following???



"""But since I learned that those miserable and accursed people do not cease to lure to themselves even us, that is, the Christians, I have published this little book, so that I might be found among those who opposed such poisonous activities of the Jews and who warned the Christians to be on their guard against them....Now, in order to strengthen our faith, we want to deal with a few crass follies of the Jews in their belief and their exegesis of the Scriptures, since they so maliciously revile our faith. If this should move any Jew to reform and repent, so much the better. We are now not talking with the Jews but about the Jews and their dealings, so that our Germans, too, might be informed....Our Lord also calls them a "brood of vipers"; furthermore, in John' 3:39 he states: "If you were Abraham's children would do what Abraham did.... You are of your father the devil." It was intolerable to them to hear that they were not Abraham's but the devil's children, nor can they bear to hear this today.... For they are a heavy burden, a plague, a pestilence, a sheer misfortune for our country. Proof for this is found in the fact that they have often been expelled forcibly from a country, far from being held captive in it....Therefore be on your guard against the Jews, knowing that wherever they have their synagogues, nothing is found but a den of devils in which sheer self-glory, conceit, lies, blasphemy, and defaming of God and men are practiced most maliciously and veheming his eyes on them.......but then eject them forever from this country. For, as we have heard, God's anger with them is so intense that gentle mercy will only tend to make them worse and worse, while sharp mercy will reform them but little. Therefore, in any case, away with them!"""



It was Martin Luther, one of the founders of the Protestant movement in Christianity! See:::

Remember, Germany was about one half Catholic and one half Lutheran, at the time of Hitler.

One story is that when he was younger his mom was sick, the doctors that were trying to save her were Jewish and when she died he blamed them and started hating them. OK?

It was a racist thing, it still is, only at that time it was too much so Hitler got support.



Remember, Hitler was not alone in what he did, he had a whole army supporting him.



They believe they were aryans (I am not sure if they really were - becuase aryans come from middleeast to punjab, India)and that being aryans was a big thing.



Just like Muslims want to kill all Kafirs (non muslims) - these aryans wanted to kill the rest.

Adolf Hitler needed a place to put the blame. It wasn't that he hated them to begin with, but they were an easy target. The hate came later.

Recorded in the annals of history are plenty of genocidal dictators with comparable blood on their hands (e.g. Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot) but only the name Adolf Hitler has become synonymous with Evil.



Universally hated since World War II, Hitler is our best evidence for the infeasibility of time travel. The obvious killer app for a working time machine would be to murder this guy before he could set the Third Reich in motion.



[Handy tip for would-be chronoassassins: Don't bother trying to infiltrate the fortified bunker; instead, plan on catching him asleep in that Viennese flophouse during the homeless years.]



Hitler's most pernicious impact on everyday life (aside from providing an endless supply of source material for the History Channel) has been in the domain of rhetoric. His fiery brand of speechmaking has all but disappeared, but his name is invoked in arguments all the time as a form of litmus test. In any debate, Hitler's opinion on the subject is automatically the evil one, so it had better be contrary to the side you're arguing.



Conversely, you can attack an opponent simply by declaring his position to be consistent with Hitler's. This tactic has long been a fixture of the Usenet newsgroups, which eventually prompted Godwin to formulate his famous Law of Nazi Analogies:





As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches one.

In case you deem it necessary to play the Hitler card pre-emptively, here's a handy chart for quick reference:



HITLER'S PUBLIC STANCES



for against

abortion atheism

capital punishment capitalism

censorship communism

Christianity "degenerate" art

eugenics democracy

euthanasia feminism

genocide Freemasonry

gun control gypsies

Leni Riefenstahl films homosexuals

racial purity Jehovah's Witnesses

vegetarianism Jews

labor unions

miscegenation

nudism

pacifism

Poles

pornography

prostitution

psychoanalysis

Slavs

smoking









But truth be told, he wasn't actually much of a vegetarian... or at least, not a principled one. Hitler promoted the myth that he was following a healthy regimen, insisting that the ideal man did not consume meat. But this was probably just a rationalization, as he himself could not digest meat without suffering from excruciating stomach cramps and embarrassing flatulence. Nevertheless Hitler's diet included the occasional serving of Bavarian sausage, liver dumpling, caviar, ham, or wild game.



For that matter, he wasn't really religious either, except insofar as it provided a theological justification for his racial policies. That way, even the Fuhrer would have the option of claiming that he was only following orders. Hitler viewed Christianity first and foremost as a repudiation of Judaism. He even posited Aryan ancestry for Jesus Christ (aka "King of the Jews"). Although little Adolf had been raised Catholic and even served as an altar boy, later in his adult years he had no enthusiasm for the God stuff. He might even have been an atheist, depending which sources you believe. It probably would have amused him to know that he would later be inducted posthumously into the Mormon church in 1993.



One subject for which he felt genuine zeal was the fight against cigarettes. Hitler was a diehard anti-smoking crusader. The Reichstadt imposed the world's most comprehensive suite of tobacco regulations, which included bans on cigarette smoking in workplaces, public buildings, and transit systems. In March 1942, Hitler went so far as to attribute his success to nonsmoking:





"I am convinced that if I had been a smoker, I never would have been able to bear the cares and anxieties which have been a burden to me for so long. Perhaps the German people owe its salvation to that fact."

But his true passion, of course, had always been Jew-baiting. Hitler didn't invent anti-semitism, but it certainly never had a more ardent supporter. And no one else in modern history had ever found themselves in such an ideal position to pursue those beliefs. The Jews served as his inexhaustible scapegoat. They were the ultimate source of crime, disease, and immorality.



Without having the international cabal of Jewry to blame for everything, Hitler's career would have been a total nonstarter. Not to mention his personal fortune; the success of Mein Kampf had made him a multimillionaire. The bestselling book was a relentless assault on the Jews, second only in ferocity to the Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion (the authenticity of which Hitler wholeheartedly championed).



In the same way that everything Hitler liked has now become tainted by his association, he felt the same way about Jews. Any policy, idea, or invention which had sprung forth from a Jewish mind was deemed to be part of a conspiracy to bolster Jewish totalitarianism. Thus, even the theory of relativity was dismissed as "Jewish physics" simply because it was the brainchild of somebody named Einstein.



For his rigid inflexibility on issues of race, Adolf was the hero of antisemites the world over, including the United States. Industrialist and antisemite Henry Ford formed a mutual admiration society with Hitler; the Fuhrer hung a large portrait of Henry over his desk, and even sent Ford a medal for his birthday in 1938. It was the Grand Cross of the Order of the German Eagle, the highest honor the Reich could bestow on a noncitizen. Also in 1938, American hero Charles Lindbergh traveled to Germany to accept the Service Cross of the German Eagle, the second highest honor available to foreigners.



By 1942 Hitler had become a regular methamphetamine user, receiving daily injections of Pervitid from his personal physician. This was in addition to narcotic pills for sleeping and anti-flatulence pills containing strychnine and belladonna. At one point, Hitler was taking as many as 28 separate medications. No one can be sure what effect the drug cocktail had on the man, whose increasingly erratic behavior was causing his staff serious concern.



A competing theory was that the Fuhrer was suffering from syphilis. Hitler had a long if somewhat murky history of womanizing. It's unclear which women in his past he had actually ******, and which were just close admirers. Did he **** director Leni Riefenstahl? Maybe. Film actress Renate Muller? Perhaps.



Or how about his 19-year-old niece, Geli Raubal? According to a 1943 report produced by the Office of Strategic Services, in addition to ******* her uncle Geli was obliged to piss on him:



Hitler made her undress... he would lie down on the floor. Then she would have to squat over his face where he could examine her at close range and this made him very excited. When the excitement reached its peak, he demanded that she urinate on him and that gave him real sexual pleasure.

Regardless what had bent him originally, Hitler was definitely getting even weirder.



He suffered from chronic insomnia and became twitchy. He was constantly irritable, and had a tendency to fly into rages. Hitler also had a habit of breaking things. There were stories of him tearing up curtains and throwing himself to the floor when he became apoplectic. These tales prompted subordinates to give him the nickname "Carpet Biter."



In the end, of course, things did not go well for the Reich. The tide of the war turned, and Allied troops made their way inexorably toward Berlin. True to form, Hitler continued blaming his misfortunes on the Jews, right up to the very end. In his suicide memo, he even pointed the finger at them for causing the war:





"It was wanted and provoked solely by international statesmen either of Jewish origin or working for Jewish interests. [...] the sole responsibility for the massacre must be borne by the true culprits: the Jews."

According to legend, during the fall of Berlin the Soviet army came upon a man's body having only one testicle. The Russians conducted an autopsy and somehow identified the monorchid corpse as Hitler's. They classified the report and secretly buried the body in a secluded bomb crater. Some years later, fearing that the site would be discovered, Hitler's body was exhumed and cremated.



The Russians had been concerned that neo-Nazis would make a shrine out of Hitler's final resting place. They wanted to avoid an endless parade of Nazi pilgrims. Which is perfectly understandable when you look at something like Jim Morrison's crypt in Paris. Those fans have no sense of propriety.
