I have heard conflicting answers to this question. If possible, i woukd love to read Hitlers own words, or from contemporary Germans, why they hated the Jewish people.
I understand this type of thread can be controversial and volatile. I ask that we can keep respectful and kind. While controversial, this is also a legitimate historical question wirth pondering. Especially because it is rarely discussed from Hitlers point of view. Right or wrong, i want to know what HE felt about tge Hewish people. I would greatly appreciate any help, as it is difficult to find it in the dozens of speeches he made..
My personal note is that, while i do notice the amount of Jewish people in positions of power, my opinion of them is very high. They are hard working, family oriented people that treat me in my business very well! In fact i wish Christians learned a bit from them!
Pardon all my disclaimers. I just want some good clean historical information. Any you provide woukd be much appreciated!
Hitler was a corporal in WW1 whose higher ups would not put in for promotion because he had no leadership qualities! He managed to win two Iron Crosses, regardless.
Germany was winning WW1 in 1916 but someone approached the British government and asked them if they would like the US to join the battle. The Allies though that was a great idea but how could that be achieved - and what was required in return?
The preson who approached the government was Baron Rothschild. He said he would sort out the Americans if the British would let the Jews have Palestine for them to live in. See the Balfour Declaration.
After WW1, the Germans were subject to huge reparations. I believe they were still paying them in the 1980s. They also lost quite a lot of territory. There were many Jews involved in these decisions. The lost land meant that many Germans would now find themselves living in other countries like Poland and France. That provided the basis for Hitler wanting to get those people back into Germany later on.
Between the wars many Jewish people had control over the banks and the media. (Sound familiar?) There was rampant inflation. There were stories of people being paid on a Friday and running straight round to the shops to buy food for the next week. If they left it a few hours they would not be able to buy as much.
Cities like Berlin turned into a den of iniquity. LGBTQ etc could be found openly on every street cotrner and in every nightclub.
The global Jewish community then declared a trade war on Germany.
Apart from that I don't think he had much of a reason at all.
If you have the time, this series of films is excellent.
