Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Hitler was not Jewish, he was Australian!.
He was brought up as a Roman Catholic, but had his own ideas about Christianity when he was an adult!.

Why did he kill the jews!?

There are many contributing factors and possible theories!. Here are some points to consider:

* Jealousy!. Some Jews were successful and held powerful positions in Austria and Germany in the 1920s and 1930s!. At the same time, the world was suffering in the Great Depression!. For various reasons, including war reparations for World War I, Germany was being hit the hardest by the worldwide economic depression!. Successful Jews were envied and blamed for "taking German jobs!."

* During World War I, communism was on the rise!. Lenin's Revolution had forced Russia out of the war!. The German Army at times faced near rebellion among their own troops!. This contributed to Germany being forced to sue for peace!. Since some socialist/communist leaders were Jewish this was exploited as another reason for Germans to hate Jews!. Hitler often spoke of Bolshevik (communist) Jewry!. There is still a strong association in people's minds between Jews and leftism!.

* Hitler and other Germans absorbed some of their parents' racism!. Anti-Semitism has a long history!.

* Some Germans held to the belief that "Jewish bankers" were responsible for the Treaty of Versailles because they stopped funding WWI!.

* The Balfour Declaration of 1917 supposedly proves that Jews betrayed Germany in World War I!. According to one who holds this theory, "During the Great War (World War I), members of the Zionist Jewish elite bartered with England and promised to bring the United States into the war in exchange for Palestine!. This is the root cause of the belief that the Jews contributed to the defeat and subsequent economic rape of Germany in the post-war years!."

* Jews became a scapegoat for all of Germany's economic problems!. (According to this racist sentiment, "international Jewish financiers like the Rothschilds, Oppenheimers, Bilderbergs, etc!., plunged the world into a war for their business profit!.")

* Hitler and many Nazis were influenced by an anti-Semitic book called "Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion!."

* Some claim that Hitler's mother was half-Jewish and he was ashamed of this!. (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!.)

* A rumor says that in Hitler's youth he slept with a Jewish prostitute and contracted syphillis!.

* There is one theory that says Hitler hated Jews so much because of his mother's death!. She died in a hospital and the doctor may have been Jewish!. There is a story that the Jewish doctor needed to examine Hitler's mother's breast because she had breast cancer!. Hitler resented the man touching his mother intimately!. Alternately, he hated the doctor for not being able to save her!. One piece of evidence that contradicts this theory is a letter from Hitler to the Jewish doctor, where he apparently thanks the doctor numerous times for his help!.

* Hitler lived in Vienna from 1907 to 1913 and those were the most difficult years of his life!. Hitler was trying to become an Architect or to make himself a name in field of arts!. He was twice rejected from the Vienna Academy of Fine Arts!. The second rejection by the Academy was one of the most traumatic experience of his life; all his dreams were shattered!. After discovering that four out of seven professors that rejected him were Jewish he blamed the Jews for his failure!.

* The Nazis had a vision of an Aryan German race that did not include Jews and many other groups of people!.

* Here is an example of Hitler's anti-Semetic racism from a speech given in Munich in July 1922: "His is no master people; he is an exploiter: the Jews are a people of robbers!. He has never founded any civilisation, though he has destroyed civilisations by the hundred!.!.!.everything he has stolen!. Foreign people, foreign workmen build him his temples, it is foreigners who create and work for him, it is foreigners who shed their blood for him!."

* Jewish communities tend have a very strong group collective mindset!. They differentiated themselves from other Germans!. This made them easier to single out for hatred!.

* Some say Hitler and the Nazis were simply opportunistic demagogues!. Inciting hatred of the Jews was the means to an end!. 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!. The Jews were convenient enemies!. After propogating this idea of Jews being the scum of the earth so passionately, Hitler and the Nazis may have deluded themselves into believing it more deeply!.

* The Christian religions blamed the death of Christ on the Jews!. One can see in the Bible the statement that the Jews demanded the death of Jesus, and said, "let it be upon our heads and that of our children!." This became an excuse to abuse the Jews for more than a thousand years!. It was not until the 1960's (I think) that the Catholic Church stated that the Jews were NOT to blame for the death of Jesus!.

* In the 1930s there was a lot of anti-Jewish feeling and resentment in the Western world!. Many Jews who wanted to escape the persecution in Germany were refused entry into the US and other European countries!.

* As a nationalist party, any group that felt it had a higher loyalty than the nation was going to be in for trouble!. This is why the Nazis tried to suppress all religion, and even set up its own secular Church!. Jews tended to have family links outside Germany, especially in Russia or the US, which would make them much harder to indoctrinate with nationalist bull!.

* Anti-semitism has been rife throughout European history, largely because they were a distinct, easily identifiable group, who refused to integrate!. (Those who really wanted to integrate converted!.) Of course now we see pluralism as a virtue, and a variety of ethnicities and religions as a positive thing!. However, if you want to set yourself up as the totalitarian dictator of a NATION then you have to establish a clear identity for that nation and stick to it; variety is an anathema!.

* Another key element of a dictatorship is fear, and a visible scapegoat experiencing the wrath of the state is a good way to keep people from stepping out of line!.

* Hitler was an unstable man!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Hitler wasn't a Jew, however he did have great respect for a jewish docter who had treated his mother, but this was many years before the publication of Mine Kampf or World War Two!.
Hitler blamed the Jews for Germany's problems during the depression, believing that while the rest of Germany lived in poverty the Jews continued to have wealth!. he viewed the Jews as a scape-goat for Germany's problems
also Hitler was Austrian not German!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Hitler wasn't Jewish!. He was Austrian!.
The link below is a letter Hitler wrote in 1919 stating the case against Jews!. He wasn't in a position of power, yet, and already his hatred was firmly in place!. Though Jewish people lived in Germany, Hitler maintained that they were not German!.
http://www!.jewishvirtuallibrary!.org/jsou!.!.!.

Hitler also had killed many German people!. People whose family could prove their ancestors were German, because they didn't fit into his plan for racial purity!. Beginning in 1933, German physicians were allowed to perform forced sterilizations on patients who were "inferior"!.!.meaning that there was chronic illness, mental illness or deformed children in their family!. mentally retarded adults, "diseased" adults, criminals, people of mixed heritage, German/Roma for example, were killed also!. There were children of mixed heritage that were killed!. They called them "Rhineland Bastards"!.!.they were the children of German mothers and African colonial soldiers in the Allied armies that occupied the German Rhineland region after World War I!. They may have been German, but Hitler said they weren't "Aryan"!.!.!.his so called master race!.

lol, no, Hitler was NOT a Jew!. He was Austrian!. Actually, when he was a young man, his best friend was a Jew!. But he went crazy and decided all Jews were inferior, and should be wiped off the face of the earth, so he killed them!. He believed they made Germany lose the war by spying on them!. He also felt they were deceitful and greedy, and that they were taking all the Germans' jobs!. The Jews in Germany were Germans, but they had Jewish blood in them, so he killed them!.

He also killed black people, homosexuals, gypsies and disabled people!. He killed about 6 million Jews in total!.

And the ending of that movie made me cry!. :'(Www@QuestionHome@Com

A clear answer to this question is not possible!

There are allegations since the 30's that he had some jewish blood!. As far as specialists have been able to trace back his family, there seems to be a possible doubt on the side of his grand-mother on his mother's side!.

On the other hand, Hitler, as soon as he had the power do do so, he had GESTAPO teams researching any documents who would have to do with his Family, near or far, and hadeverything destroyed!. There are today in Germany or in Austria absolutely NO documents regarding the both sieds of hitler's Family, other than what is written down in history books!

For certain historians the fact that Hitler had all this activity going on in regard with his family, would tend to prove that there was indeed a problem !.!.!.

Another rumour dating from 1941 states that some documents were kept by Reinhard Heydrich, head of the GESTAPO, as he had the habit of gathering information about everyone!. When Heydrich was killed, Heinrich Himmler got his hands on the material and destroyed it!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Hitler was not a Jew and as far as I'm aware did not have any Jewish ancestry!.

Indeed they were still Germans!. We are talking a bout a man so evil as to kill millions of men, women and children from many backgrounds because he believed in a super race!. All at the same time trying to invade both western and eastern Europe!.
I guess you cannot explain the actions of rulers like that!. Saddam Hessian, Mussolini, Hitler, Osama Bin Laden, Robert Mugabe!.

And for all you anti war protesters you may even put George Bush in there as well!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Who cares!? He did not operate in a vacuum!. “All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good people do nothing!.” British statesman Edmund Burke

“Indifference in the face of evil is complicity with evil!.”

Remaining passive in the face of human suffering is a sin against both man and the Creator!. Rabbi Shmuley Boteach

In the judgment of Konrad Adenuaer, first chancellor of the Federal Republic, writing in 1946: “The German people permitted itself to be nazified without offering resistance-yes, even with enthusiasm!. Therein lies its guilt!.”

“Do not stand by while your brother’s blood is being spilled!.” Leviticus 19:16

The Vatican failed to support the mainly Catholic Center Party in Germany, a potential rock of democratic principle amid the sea of fascism, which had been such a force against Bismarck’s Kulturkampf!? The Vatican’s then-Secretary of State Eugenio Pacelli, later Pius XII, never approved of democratic groupings independent of the Holy See, and was content to see the Center Party dissolved!.

"The United States not only insisted upon its immigration law throughout the Nazi era, but administered it with severity and callousness!. In spite of unprecedented circumstances, the law was constricted so that even its narrow quotas were not met!. The lamp remained lifted beside the golden door, but the flame had been extinguished and the door was padlocked!."

Book Review: “Holocaust's Bystanders” by Steven Welch
Friedlander paints a damning portrait of the conduct of the bystanders!. Passivity and indifference predominated, but in many cases the Nazis could count on the active support of non-German authorities and their security forces in facilitating the annihilation process!.
As he points out, "not one social group, not one religious community, not one scholarly institution or professional association in Germany and throughout Europe declared its solidarity with the Jews"!.
Friedlander is especially critical of the failure of the Christian churches, Catholic, Protestant and Orthodox, to respond to the onslaught against the Jews!. He identifies the virulent anti-Judaism cultivated by Christianity over centuries as a major contributor to the anti-Semitic culture that, he argues, took hold in Germany under Nazism but also flourished in the rest of Europe as well!.
The fact that Christian churches shared with Nazism anti-communist, anti-liberal and anti-materialist views rendered the churches incapable of coming to the defense of the Jewish population!.
Pope Pius XII comes in for heavy criticism for his "selective appeasement" of the Nazis!. While the Pope sought in some cases to raise objections to Nazi measures, his concern did not extend to the mass murder perpetrated against the Jews!. The Pope's silence stands as a disturbing example of the broader moral failure of the European and American spiritual and intellectual elites in the face of the Holocaust!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

He falsified a "pure" family tree for himself, but in fact there are some questions about his heritage!. His grandmother may have been a prostitute, leading to rumors that his grandfather may have been Jewish!. And although he led the Germans and promoted the idea of "Deutchland uber Alles (Germany over all others), he was in fact a failed Austrian artist!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
