Adolf Hitler is a talented artist. His wonderful paintings attracted a lot of attention, people of different social strata admired them. But, as we all know, the artistic career has not developed very well. Hitler is better known to us in the form of a cruel conqueror and exterminator of entire nations, rather than a famous artist. I wonder why Hitler killed the Jews? Let's figure it out.
Founder of Nazism
We probably won't dive deeply into the biography of the famous conqueror of the twentieth century. But it is worth saying that perhaps not everyone knows - Adolf Hitler is the founder of the theory of Nazism, the foundation of which is racial hygiene. The main principle is the impossibility of mixing races. This suggests that no marriages were allowed between people of different races. The goal is to achieve the dominance of one single race - the Aryans. Hitler decided that it was the Aryans who should "stand at the head of the entire planet," since he considered this race to be the highest. In no case was it allowed to mix with lower races, for example, Asians. Of course, the struggle between representatives of different peoples is the most powerful engine of history. But Adolf believed it was worth stopping.
According to one of the famous historians, Hitler considered the white Aryans to be the purest, strongest and smartest. There was not a single drop of doubt in him that this particular race was the most civilized. The tyrant hated not only Jews. Negroes, Asians, and gypsies were under the string of negativity. But the only certainty was that it was the Jews who were the root of all evil. This served to further exterminate the people.
Adolf Hitler misunderstood the term "race" a little. For him, the Jews just belonged to a separate race, which is trying, let's say, to "get through" to the Aryans, mix with them and thereby destroy them without leaving the purebreds.

Psyche
After the end of the war, there were rumors that Adolf Hitler suffered from some mental abnormalities. Allegedly, it was not possible to explain his actions in another way. But in fact, according to his associates, there was simply no evidence of mental illness or madness.
Historian Ricky Peters declares with absolute certainty that Hitler was psychologically healthy. Perhaps some slight manic syndrome was still present. However, it is not surprising, because this is the diagnosis that psychologists make to many modern people.
In fact, if the tyrant visited a psychiatrist, the psychiatrist would easily identify him with some personality disorder. The evil and cruel character in some incomprehensible way helped the conqueror find a common language with people, while masterfully manipulating them. Of course, very few people can succeed. Political affairs came first, followed by family, happiness, and similar human feelings.
The rise of anti-Semitism
Deviant and dissocial personality are not the first reasons for the emergence of hatred of the Jewish people. Adolf Hitler only "fit" into this trend. In the prime of his power, the conqueror was not alone in disliking the Jews. Anti-Semitism existed even before his birth, but, of course, heyday fell on the years of the "barbel" rule. In general, Jews at all times were persecuted and exterminated, so they were no stranger to such an attitude towards themselves. But Hitler managed to move to a new level of extermination, killing thousands of people in a day.
Another answer to why Hitler killed the Jews is the fact that the latter were trying to "take over" the world. Such information appeared from intelligence protocols created on the territory of our country in the nineteenth century. If you believe them, then there is a real conspiracy of the Jewish estates.
A. Hitler's book Mein Kampf (My Struggle)
“Adolf Hitler had no doubts that the Jews had created a kind of world network, their own habitat. There they develop ideas for dominance in our world. Hitler tried to legitimize the genocide with the help of written protocols, which, however, he did well,”says Klaus Christensen.
During the First World War, Hitler stood in the ranks of the soldiers of the Bavarian regime. When the war ended, he made the bold claim that the Jews were the main culprits in Germany's defeat. This conclusion was due to the fact that it was they who occupied leading government posts. They simply betrayed the German army by stabbing them in the back.
The Nazis are "glad" of the impending crisis
In the early thirties of the last century, every country was plunged into a great depression. Of course, Germany was no exception. Thanks to this economic crisis, the world was dominated by huge unemployment, accompanied by various troubles in social strata. At such a time, it was most convenient to form views on the "careless" Jews, which Hitler did. He became the head of the National Socialist Labor Party.
“The Germans believed that such a party would help improve the quality of life, therefore Nazism was accepted without contempt of conscience. At that time, the racial aspects were only in Hitler's Mein Kampf, which translates as My Struggle. Consequently, until the mid-thirties, little was known about racism. Only after Hitler took the helm did anti-Semitism become widespread."
Jews were required to wear the Star of David patch
In 1932, party elections were held, in which the German communists, along with the National Socialists, received the majority of the votes. Adolf Hitler is now Chancellor. This served to the fact that the future conqueror and his associates actively advertised anti-Semitic views and beliefs. Special campaigns were created that simply humiliated the Jews, considering them an inferior race.
The main slogan is "Germany for the Germans!" flashed on every corner. He called on the Germans, which is first of all necessary for the purebred Aryan race to survive. Other peoples, and especially Jews, must definitely be weeded out.
Of course, there is also a downside to the coin. In addition to supporters, there were also opponents. They believed that it was cruel to destroy entire nations for the sake of purebred people. Everyone chooses their own destiny. With such people Hitler dealt with radical methods.
Crystal night
One of the famous events of the extermination of Jews was the so-called Kristallnacht, which took place in November 1938. In just a few hours, shops belonging to the hated people, cemeteries, synagogues and so on were wiped off the face of the earth throughout Germany. Of course, the methods used were very different: from the usual execution to the destruction by gas and burning of premises.
Jews in the Auschwitz concentration camp
Some Germans rebelled against the actions of Adolf Hitler, but this gave them absolutely nothing. The persecution and extermination continued, each time receiving great support from the population. A few years later, those close to the commander sent millions of Jews to camps, where they dealt with them with the most cruel methods. Even after the war was over, huge investments continued in the construction of camps and weapons of murder for the Jews. Although the money had to be spent on more necessary things and simply save resources, which were absolutely not enough.
