why did adolf hitler become totally obsessed with killing all jews in the world?

[Dave L]

Yet many are coming to Jesus...

Does this not mean we are to love them into the kingdom like any other peoples?

It's about religion, except for the way racists see it. They drop Judaism and embrace Christ and Christianity.

 

[Pope66]

The link on Hitler speech is why Hitler was obsessed with killing all the Jews in Europe

 

[JohnDB]

Two reasons Hitler disliked and focused on the Jews.
Earlier in Adolf's life he was a devout Christian and the nation was Lutheran. Adolf even considered going into the priesthood. Martin Luther was a brilliant man who later in life went crazy and believed in anti-Semitism. Adolf was a devout follower of Martin's works.
On top of the above reasons the Jews had been through several Inquisition's and had survived. They had regularly become wealthy through pawn shops and loans. (In a time period when manufactured goods were extremely expensive) The "man on the street" usually had some sort of goods he had pawned or sold at a huge discount to a pawn shop. Resentment towards the Jewish lenders was high especially since the Jews were rather cliquish and closed their shops on Saturday. None went to the local church.

So, during the economic hardship the reparations levied against Germany from WWI, Hitler's propaganda gave the people a common enemy to focus on for all their troubles that many could agree with. No one was particularly fond of the people who had repossessed homes, luxury goods, tools, and family heirloom pieces.

Today,
Jews in a community tend to behave collectively very differently. They do build hospitals when there are none. Libraries and schools as well for the communities they live in. Open to all the areas inhabitants. They also will set up banking...but no pawn shops. (Daniel from the Old Testament is still a hero)
Indeed...when I visited the nation of Israel the most honest vendors I worked with was the money exchange people. (A bad rep will make you honest)

 

[Albion]

why did adolf hitler feel strong desire to kill all the Jewish people in the world?

It's not certain that he did. He was willing to have Europe's Jews deported to somewhere else, but in one of history's sadder moments, no other countries, ours included, were willing to take them in a big bloc. Nor was that very feasible. So then is when the "final solution" came to the fore.

As for the question about "why?" he was hostile towards the Jews, his own explanation was that the country, Germany, had been betrayed into the arms of the Allies by internal traitors, i.e. she had not lost World War I on the battlefield, but had been stabbed in the back by politicians at home.

While this theory was not unique to Hitler, it had quite a following during the tough days of the 1920s. And more to the point, his perception was that the people who did this betrayal were mainly Communists and, by the way, Jews.

Nothing happens apart from God. Make sure you have your "facts" straight.

I am curious as to what you think I have misspoken about.

 

[Hmm]

So, according to you, the Holocaust was carried out, by Hitler, at God's bidding, as a punishment for Jewish failure to believe in the Son.

I've never met someone so openly and blatantly anti-Semitic.

OB

I agree with you. He's a disgrace and well done on drawing that out. I am surprised that his anti-Semitic remarks are allowed to stand.

 

[Dave L]

What resources document your understanding of history?

Anti-Semitism has been a shameful blot on Christianity since the very beginnings. It finds its roots in the Bible itself. One of the evangelists writing of the trial of Jesus has the Jews demanding his crucifixion and saying "His blood be on us and on our children." I simply cannot believe that any Jew would ever say this. Mostly I think they mourned him in a reigned manner as just another on the long list of failed messiahs.

 

[JohnDB]

What resources document your understanding of history?

None.

I was remembering from my discussion with Jewish Rabbi and history I have personally researched. (And I don't remember the sources)

But what I have said should be easily found if you wished to look instead of treating me like some kind of research professional writing a thesis paper with all the footnotes and bibliography pages. That's not me.

If the OP really wanted that kind of answer they would do the research for themselves. Since they just wanted a simple, direct answer to a simple direct question that was what I provided.

You need reliable generally accepted history. And then document your opinions.

I did respond with generally accepted history. And as far as documentation I was answering the OP and not you. Because if the OP required documentation I wouldn't have responded to begin with.

It, and obviously, wasn't ALL the people, rather only those bought off by the religious leaders ..

 

[Dave L]

Scripture quotes them as saying that. Is it wrong?

But documentation suggests it is an established fact. Not speculation.

 

[Rachel20]

Many possible reasons at the human level. At the spiritual level, maybe just one - destroying the Jews is Satan's only hope to prevent his fate? If there's a prerequisite for the Lords return that rests solely on the Jewish nation calling out to Jesus as Christ, then Satan may reason he can prevent this if there is no Jew left to call out.

The prerequisite verses, notice the "till" in both:

For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord. Matthew 23:39

I will go and return to my place, till they acknowledge their offence, and seek my face: in their affliction they will seek me early. Hosea 5:15

So whatever motivated Hitlers hate in his own mind, we know Satan stirred it up for his own purpose. Even all the hate in the world today, motivated by various reasons at the human level (politics, race, class, gender, etc...), could be ultimately laser-focused against Satan's real target - the Jew. It wouldn't be a bad strategy, but will fail.

Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time. And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man child. Revelation 12:12-13

And if ye will not for all this hearken unto me, but walk contrary unto me; Then I will walk contrary unto you also in fury; and I, even I, will chastise you seven times for your sins. And ye shall eat the flesh of your sons, and the flesh of your daughters shall ye eat. And I will destroy your high places, and cut down your images, and cast your carcases upon the carcases of your idols, and my soul shall abhor you. And I will make your cities waste, and bring your sanctuaries unto desolation, and I will not smell the savour of your sweet odours. And I will bring the land into desolation: and your enemies which dwell therein shall be astonished at it. And I will scatter you among the heathen, and will draw out a sword after you: and your land shall be desolate, and your cities waste.” Leviticus 26:23–33 (KJV 1900)

 

[Rachel20]

Here's a sample of God's judgement on the Jews in OT times.

Did it seem to you that I deny God's judgements on Israel? I'm aware of those verses, and also those that show God's plan to save her.

Speak ye comfortably to Jerusalem, and cry unto her, that her warfare is accomplished, that her iniquity is pardoned: for she hath received of the LORD'S hand double for all her sins. (Isaiah 40:2)

For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in. And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob: For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins. As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, they are beloved for the fathers' sakes. For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance. For as ye in times past have not believed God, yet have now obtained mercy through their unbelief: Even so have these also now not believed, that through your mercy they also may obtain mercy. For God hath concluded them all in unbelief, that he might have mercy upon all. Romans 11:25-33

Thanks for the citation. Note that it was not "all the Jews". At that point in history less than half the Jews lived in Judea and Galilee and only a fraction of them had any knowledge of Jesus.
