Hitlers Relationship With the Jews

Mehr Singh

For the Jew was still characterized for me by nothing but his religion, and therefore, on grounds of human tolerance, I maintained my rejection of religious attacks in this case as in others. Consequently, the tone, particularly that of the Viennese anti-Semitic press, seemed to me unworthy of the cultural tradition of a great nation -Adolf Hitler

Nazi Immigration Laws

PARAGRAPH 4 Only those who are our fellow countrymen can become citizens, only those who have German blood regardless of creed can be out countrymen, hence no Jew can be our countrymen

Aryanism
A race that Hitler considered superior to all, they were easily identifiable as those with Blue eyes, Blonde hair

Why Did Hitler Hate the Jews?

Religious Reasons

The Ten Commandments have lost their validity. Conscience is a Jewish invention, it is a blemish like circumcision. - Adolf Hitler

"Once, as I was strolling through the inner city, I suddenly encountered an apparition in a black caftan and black hair locks. Is this a Jew? was my first thought." "For, to be sure, they had not looked like that in Linz. I observed the man furtively and cautiously, but the longer I stared at this foreign face, scrutinizing feature for feature, the more my first question assumed a new form: is this a German? "...the more I saw, the more sharply they became distinguished in my eyes from the rest of humanity..."

Rich, but Thieves?

"His is no master people; he is an exploiter: the Jews are a people of robbers. He has never founded any civilization, though he has destroyed civilizations 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. - Adolf Hitler

Unifying Germany

In Todays World
it might be noted that much of Hitlers rhetoric about the Jews was based on exactly the same assumption that Leftists to this day use in talking about racial matters. They constantly claim that the proportion of (say) blacks in the general population should be reflected everywherein every occupation and in every institution. If there is a smaller proportion of (say) blacks in banking than there is in the general population, this is taken as proof that there is discrimination against blacks in banking. Hitler used exactly the same argument about Jews. As they are in America today, Jews in prewar Germany were very much overrepresented in the top echelons of German society. So, in good Leftist fashion, Hitler took that as proof that good, ordinary Germans were being systematically excluded from such positions in society by malign Jewish machinations. If Hitler was illogical in such thinking, so are most Leftists today. And in fact complaints about Jewish over-representation in (say) top U.S. universities do rumble on at a low level among Leftists today. - arnoldhateshiscountry45

And thus comes the fact there lives amongst us a non-German, alien race -Adolf Hitler
