Hitler's revenge


If you ask everyone about Adolf Hitler, I am sure that the answer would probably be…“oh, yes! The one that is cold-hearted, a very cruel man”. That will be the thing that would split from our mouth if we are talking about Adolf Hitler. He is the one man that is known for his cruel dictator leadership during the World War 2. He has caused the murder of millions people and also being referred as one of the cruelest man in the world.

    Adolf Hitler was born on 20th April, 1889, in the small Austrian town of Braunau near the German border. Both Hitler's parents had come from poor peasant families. His father, Alois was an illegitimate. Hitler was never proud of his family; the only person that he is closed with was her mother, Klara Poelzl, whose death in December 1908 was a shattering blow to the adolescent Hitler. 

    That is about Hitler that we all know, the question now is about his hatred towards the Jews. Why did he have to kill millions of Jews during his reign? Is it reasonable to kill that many people? And what has happened back then, that could cause such hatred inside of him? I was wondering about it so, I did some research and here is the information that I’ve got.

    In 1908, he started to develop hatred towards the Jews after a Jewish doctor, Eduard Bloch, unsuccessfully treated his mother who was stricken with breast cancer and died. Also, when he cleared the snow-bound paths of beautiful town houses in Vienna where rich people lived, he saw that only the Jews lived in these homes. By 1910, his mind had become warped and his hatred of the Jews, known anti-Semitism had become set. He hates them even more when the Germany is defeated in World War 1. Hitler blamed the Jews for the collapsed of the monarchy and the ruination of millions.

    In my opinions, all these reasons are quite unreasonable for killing millions of innocent people. His hatred started with his own personal assumption towards the Jews. Even though, he has experienced bad incidents caused by some of the Jews, he can’t simply assume that all the Jews are the same. The moment he started to hate the Jews was after the death of his mother, whom a person that he loves so much. Witnesses say that he spent hours, just staring at her dead body and drawing of it as she lay on her death bed. To make it worse is the coincidence in which the doctor that treated his mother is a Jew. Therefore, it sounds more like a personal revenge after all. What say you?
