Hitler’s “Reasoning” for the Holocaust

Realistically Hitler had no reason for killing the Jewish people other than he didn’t like them, but he himself was fully convinced of the validity of his reasoning. He had four main reasons that would be logical were they true.
Hitler an the Nazis believed that the Jewish people were a weaker race then the Arians, and that they were holding Germany back from achieving its full potential. He said that they were parasites preying on the good will of the Germans, and that the Germans actually had to stand up to them.
Hitler also said that the Jewish people were a plague. Fearing this plague required extermination for the survival of their families. If a group of people were endangering the life of my family I think I would respond the same way as the everyday German people.
“The Jewish people are plotting behind our backs” was another excuse why the elimination of the Jewish people was necessary. “They are out to ruin us.” The Germans actually thought that the Jewish people were out to get them for no reason.
The final reason Hitler gave for the extermination of the Jewish people was that they forced Germany to go to war. No one really wanted to go to war and if your husbands, brothers, sons and friends were being killed because of something someone else did I would too be enraged.
All of the reasons come down to one; the Germans were scared of the Jewish people. That’s how all racism starts, it is with fear. Fear of being different. Fear of being an outcast. Fear of losing everything. When people get theses fears they have a need and a tendency to pass that blame on to someone weaker then themselves and try to justify it. holocaust timeline
When it all comes down to it the Jewish people did nothing wrong than be different and follow their beliefs, but Hitler and the Nazis used propaganda to its full capability and made it seem like the Jewish people had wronged the Germans.
People are all different. It’s the common bonds that we have that make us truly unique though. A smart white male, is completely different that a smart black male. They are so different yet so the same.

This acrticle isn’t so much inacurate, but it oversimplifies Hitler’s reasoning as expressed even in the first chapter of Mein Kamf. Hitler states that he originally wasn’t an anti-semite, but that certain “observations” led him to that conclusion…not that he had any statistical evidence on the matter to prove it by the way.
His rational began for him in school, where he was taught that every nation or peaople has a set of characteristics that make it unique. The rational then is that any group who’s philosopies and temperments not only are different, but are in opposition to the cultural norm will serve to drag the country down or create cultural pollution and chaos.
Hitler would, for example, read news articles that expressed views he felt went directly against the criteria representing the ideal German in all his glory. He also “observed” that invariably that authors of such “delinquent” articles were Jewish. The same held for movies that he found to be offensive and pornographic (though I’m sure they had nothing on Ron Jeremy and Al Goldstein). Finally there were certain high profile bankers and stock manipulators that were targeted (or stood out) because they were Jewish.
It is an understatement to say that Hitler didn’t like Jews. He really felt that in terms of the views they expressed and the very methods he observed Jews using, that indeed Jews were the very devils themselves. Hitler even went as far as crediting Jews for his own style of persuasion and discourse.
I agree with Hitler, in the sense that the same story repeats itself now a days… wars generated by political and economical interests, designed to feed the lust of money of international powerful bankers, and the people at the top of the top! who are, not coincidentally, Jewish.
wow this is one crazy man. the destruction of
13 000 000 people. he is crazy. >:(
I think that hitler was crazy hopeless fiend who was trying to get even with germany and tried to destroy millions of people trying to do so
I think that they still had no right in what they did. I dont care how many excuses they came up with it still doesnt make any since to kill that many jews for a stupid purpose!
I disagree with the reasonings.Hitler actually
killed them,because of his step father.His
step father was Jewish and his step father used
to beat his mother,and he HATED his step father,
so that is another reason of the holocaust.
Also Friedrich Nietzsche articles on the Aryan race also led Hitler to his conclusion that in order to reach a perfect society that he must purify his fellow germans. Jewish, gays, gypsies and others were among this tainted bloodline that Nietzsche said needed to be eradicated inorder to become perfect. Some even say Nietsche for saw the rise of Hitler.
Yeah this article is about right but not totally, and Hitler says he was a christain, he may be one but he doesn’t act like it its as if he’s from hell.Hitler is a crazed killing monster he
Wow! This article is intense. form what ive heard is that hitler was have jewish and the only reason he wantedthe other jews gone was because he was a neglected child.
Slightly wacky ideas here guys. Hitler was a really nasty piece of work and probably slightly ‘odd’ that is a given – but to blame ALL the problems of the decade. The war, the Holocaust etc. on ONE man; sounds awfully similar to the argument Hitler used in blaming the Jews. You must also consider the complexity in which the Holocaust developed (yes it didn’t spring up out of thin air)and that lots of people were involved. Active participants ranged from Himmler all the way down to Lithuanian Guards – remember in the last year of the war 1/2 of the SS were FOREIGN VOLUNTEERS (Notice the stress.)
Something to mull over. (Mark Mazower’s dark continent is a good source of information) In 1923, I believe, the Polish Government released an edict and programme of homogeneous Nationalization – in other words a purely ‘Polish’ state. Fair one, the rest of Europe were doing this at the time to follow the EUROPEAN ideology of having every person under his own national banner and lands. This Polish edict revoked the rights of all its Jewish inhabitants and expelled many more (forgive me for a lack of numbers and dates: but they are written by a professional historian from a primary source in either Mazower’s book or Norman Davies ‘Europe at War’). To look into the reasoning behind the Holocaust one must look at the prevailing culture – he must have support somewhere along the line. If ONE powerful man said the world was inhabited by aliens, you would laugh in his face.
As to the article itself, well done if a little simplistic. If applicable references would be good but otherwise nicely written. I like the marks around “reasoning”.

(and some Christians were ‘evil’ – look at the Crusades or the Inquisition (Especially the SPANISH!) )
All of the information that is presented in this article is “almost” completely right. Hitler’s step-father had a LOT to do with his hatred of the Jews. That was the first of many observances. However, the only huge GLARING problem with this article is the spelling of “arian”. It is Aryan.
Hitler hated the jews because for centuries jews have controlled all the central banks and monetary systems in the western world. Central banks have been controlled by a cartel of jewish banking families since at least the 15th century. Through manipulation of interest rates and lending rates to each government, they create booms and busts (great depression) and finance wars to benefit their socialist elite families and networks at the expense and death of the masses. Hitler was aware of this and thought the only way to protect Germany of economic manipulation was to eliminate the jewish race as a whole. It’s a lot deeper than “Hitler just didn’t like them”. Where do you think our gov’s get their money from today? Central banks. Who owns them all in the Western world? Jews.
i dont think hitler said he was christian, most likely they had said that he was an atheist,
he didnt believe in god
