Adolf Hitler's Treatment of Jews

Adolf Hitler's Treatment of Jews Hitler's views on Jews were plainly stated in Mein Kampf (My struggle), written while he was in jail for political violence. In Hitler's view, Jews could never be converted, because Judaism was a racial designation. Jews were parasites who infiltrated the societies in which they lived, living off of the work of others. Hitler convinced fellow Germans that their only hope of reviving a vital German culture was to marginalize, then exile and exterminate the Jewish population. Hitler won support through a combination of intense patriotism based on the concept of Aryan superiority, promises of prosperity, denunciations of communism, and antisemitism. Through a series of increasingly drastic measures, Hitler stripped Jews of their rights as citizens. He excluded them from most professions and stationed brutal guards outside Jewish-owned shops to scare away customers.

Antisemitism played a major role in Adolf Hitler’s thinking and in the Nazi ideology. Read here what inspired Hitler's hatred of Jews and what life events played a role in its development.

School for Barbarians by Erika Mann; Thomas Mann (Introduction by) Published in 1938, when Nazi power was approaching its zenith, this well-documented indictment reveals the systematic brainwashing of Germany's youth. The Nazi program prepared for its future with a fanatical focus on national preeminence and warlike readiness that dominated every department and phase of education. Methods included alienating children from their parents, promoting notions of racial superiority instead of science, and developing a cult of personality centered on Hitler. Erika Mann, a member of the World War II generation of German youth, observed firsthand the Third Reich's perversion of a once-proud school system and the systematic poisoning of family life. This edition of her historic exposé features an Introduction by her father, famed author and Nobel laureate Thomas Mann.
