Why did Hitler kill the Jews????
106783
After Germany's defeat in world war one, then the great depression hit the world. As people lost a lot of money in the stock market, many went bankcrupt. In many countries, those least affected were the money lenders, who most people turned to sell their jewellery and expensive paintings and furniture - just to buy bread and potatos. The money lenders were mainly Jews.\n\nIn Russia, at this time the Czar (king of the country) would routinely arrest the jews and made them suffer just becuse they were rich - this was just to get at their riches. These were called pogroms - another word would be rape and ethnic cleansing...\n\nOf course - I am not arguing whether these riches were made honestly or not, but often people are jealous of others who are doing well while you seem to be losing everything. I guess it human nature...\n\nIn Germany, after the war, things were really bad, they had to pay compensation to many countries for the war damage (called war reparations). This cost so much that the economy was doing really badly. The Germans felt that they were superior than everyone (scientifically and culturally) and hated the fact that they had to pay so much money to other countries.\n\nHitler came onto the scene - with forceful speeches about what a great country Germany was, without focussing on why they were really defeated in the first war, they claimed that - "since we are superior than everone we must have lost the war because we were sabotaged from within our borders - who did this evil thing - must be the jews - they anyway have strange customs and are so rich..." etc\n\nSo once they had a scapegoat, it helped unify the nationalist and made them begin the war mchinery. the rearming of Germany actually reduced unemployment - so actually people were feeling things were getting better.\n\nThen once Germany was war-ready, they launched the war...the rest is word war II and the holocaust...\n\nThe holocaust was a product of a bureaucratic tragedy that emerged from the discussion of the "final solution" as more and more jews were arrested in occupied countries. The Aryan story was just an attempt to unify the Germanic people and nordi people against everyone else, when in fact the slavs and present day Indians are more Aryan than the Germanic peoples, since Aryan people first emerged from the Central Asian steppes (near Mongolia).\n\nInterestingly Hitler's grand mother was a jew. So its quite clear that Hitler was quite insane. I mean its like klling your own family.

Adolf Hitlers father was not jewish. He wanted to eliminate the jewish race, because: (VERY SIMPLIFIED: After WW1 germany was ruined, but the jewish population were richer than most, as they were the bankers, shopkeepers, etc. Adolf eventually persuaded the germans into thinking it was the jews fault that germany was poor.\n\nAlso hitlers mother died of lucemia and her doctor was jewish.\n\nThere are dozens of other factors, and hitler also exterminated, prostitutes, gays, cripples, gypsies, bums, blacks, asians, anybody who wasn't german. (Although hitler was from austria)

Primarily because it was popular to do so at the time.  Hitler believed in a conspiracy theory that said the Jews wanted to take over the world.   Hitler wrote (well he dictated it and it was heavily edited) called Mein Kampf - My Struggle in English, that does shed some light on his anti-Semitism (hating of the Jewish people)  I've included some resources below that may help you in your research. \n\n(I am not Jewish, but in an effort to be unbiased I must disclose that I do have Jewish relatives. The links I provided I have found personally useful and I find their coverage of the Holocaust to almost universally accepted.  There are however small groups which feel that the Holocaust never happened.  You will have to draw your own conclusions.  I was not alive then but the historical records and primary source material I have consulted have convinced me of the horrible reality of the Holocaust or Shoah.)

If Hitler had believed in Jesus and was a true follower of Christ he wouldn't have murdered millions of Jews, Socialists and Gays. He wouldn't have sent people to war, he wouldn't have violated every commandment there is... he was a kind of Anti-Christ and if he goes to heaven, I'd volunteer for hell.

The Nazi's wanted to be the dominent race and rule the world. The Jew's were an easy target. The Nazi's viewed them as inferior and were determined to wipe them out. It didn't work. There were a lot Jew's killed but the Nazi's died out. The Jew's are still here.

Tha was why Adolf Hitler intended to eliminate them in the world during WWII.

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. \n\nWho wrote the following???\n\n"""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!"""\n\nIt was Martin Luther, one of the founders of the Protestant movement in Christianity!

Hilter didn't just hate the Jews and black people, he hated Catholics, German's who helped people flee from his wrath, people with disablities (even if you walked with a limp). If you even had a sixteenth of Jewish blood in you, you were consider Jewish. According to the Holucust Mesume in Washington DC, he wanted to create the ulimate race of Germans (blonde hair and blue eyes). Hilter was an interesting chararter. A bad apple that's for sure. He was brought to power by promising the people of Germany food and bring the country's economy back up. After WWI German suffered greatly from debts and such. So of course they would listen to the devil himself if he made such promises. I hope this answers your question.

I think a better way to put this is who killed more people in a genocide, the nazis or the russians.  The answer is the russians killed many times the number of people that the nazis did.  We should have destroyed both of these leftest causes while they were still relatively young (nazism is often misidentified as right wing where it was, actually National SOCIALISM).  Probably, it would have been much more wise to allow Hitler to wipe out the Russians, probably expending much of his military power to do so, and then mopped up the floor with him afterward.\n\nThere was nothing good about either regime.  If Hitler didn't force us to stop him militarily by invading all of his neighbors, the government was well on its way to collapse all by itself.\n\nThere is a saying that virtue is its own reward.  But, what is not said is that evil is its own punishment.  Values that are evil lead to destruction and eventual death of those who adhere to them.  This is a repeating pattern in human history.  Unfortunately, evil people rarely give their victims the luxury of waiting around until the bad guys off themselves.

When Hitler was killing 10's of millions in Germany, why was he never arrested.  \n\np.s. don't mean to cause offense to any one but this needs to be discussed.

Not that those clowns are as competent as the Germans, but there is a "Mein Kampf" analogy.  Ten years before he did it, Hitler said "I am going to take over Europe and kill all the Jews."  People like Chamberlain basically said "you don't really mean that."  Oh yes he did.\n\nIf you want to be some kind of moral relatavist like Chrissy Hynde and say that we are no better than them, then fine (it's really not).   But if I may quote Winston* "If self preservation is an instinct you possess, pretty please, with sugar on top, clean the fvcking car."\n\nGood, bad,or indifferent, these people want to kill us.  They especially want to kill people like Chrissy Hynde, which is funny.  We need to kill them before they kill us, hopefully after they kill Chrissy, but those animals are so indiscriminate that you really can't count on that.\n\n*Wolf, not Churchill

Well, just to help you a little here, Hitler did not believe in Jesus.  He felt Christianity was weak and didn't want his power being challenged by religious authorities.  (If the basis of your question is, "Is it alright to kill those who don't agree with you?" I hope you know the answer already.) \n\nHitler wanted to exterminate every Jew on earth, not change their minds.  His reasons for killing Jews (which is part of what makes the Holocaust so remarkable) had nothing to do with their beliefs.  It was all about their birth, and many secular and converted Jews were murdered alongside their orthodox counterparts.\n\nYou should really read up more on the holocaust.  It is possibly the worst thing in human history, and the only thing we can do to prevent something similar is to know how it happened the first time.\n\nP.S.- Here's the really tough question you might want to ponder; After ordering the murder of twelve million innocents and waging a wart to conquer the earth, if Hitler had recanted on his death bed, would G-d have forgiven him.

Hitler famously said "I decide who is Jewish or not." In this case he was being purely pragmatic - the man he was referring to was a General in the Luftwaffe, although there were at least two Generals in the Wehrmacht who were of Jewish origin. \n\nHitler may have been an insane racist but in some circumstances he was a pragmatist. On the other hand it can be argued that his antisemitism was purely a cynical political strategy to unify the German people by playing on Germany's history of anti-Jewishness. However, history shows that Hitler's personal feelings towards Jews verged on the pathological and lead directly to the Holocaust.

some kill because they have perverted the Word by misinterpereting it.  in the old testament, David, for example, would kill to rid the world of evil that had become interwoven into he fabrics of a certain race.  He would kill to purge.  this is a very serious calling, however, and probably will not be used in today's context.  only God Himself can ask a man to do this, and that man would be given the means to do so without breaking any of God's laws. (remember, the commandment said not to "murder", not "kill")  God will rarely tell one of His children to kill under the new covenant; He would rather see them saved, since now it is possible for all men to come to Him.  \n\nreally, for the most part, today people kill in the name of God because they have misread or misinterpereted the Scripture, and are extremists anway.  (ie. hitler)\nvery perverse people reside in this world.
