Why did Hitler Kill The Jews?




The article, "Why did Hitler Kill The Jews" is an excerpt from the Holocaust survivor, Alexander Kimel. It is an article written based on his opinions and feeling towards one of the most famous killer in the world, Adolf Hitler. The article is basically about the reasons why Hitler hated and killed the Jews. During the killing or as known as The Holocaust, the Jews were threaten like animals because their life seems worthless in Hitler's view. They were stripped of their possessions, walled in ghettos, powerless and docile. In addition, the Jews were powerless and did not own anything. It other word, they were not a threat to Hitler's rule.

The writer think that Hitler was sick and and paranoid man with full of delusions. Alexander Kimel did mention that Hitler believed that he can rebuilt the world. Hitler thought he must do something in order to change the world into better place to live without the Jews. The writer stated that Hitler's behaviors which are paranoia, delusions and paresis was caused by the syphilis. I never know about this until i read this article and then i decided to make some simple research regarding the matter. It looks like there are many theories regarding it. Some of them can be accepted and some of them seems like trying to condemn Hitler. But for me, I think the theories discussed can be accepted because my research shows that syphilis is one of the most feared diseases during that age and have a big potential to change Hitler's character. According to Dr Theophanous, Hitler's bizarre belief that syphilis was a hereditary disease that was originated and propagated by the Jews and resulted in insanity and mental retardation' could be the reason he attempted to eliminate the mentally retarded. His doctor, Theo Morrell noted his parkinson's disease, severe gastric crises, skin lesions and violent mood swings as evidence that he had contracted syphilis - as well as 'sudden criminal behaviour, paranoia, grandiosity and mania, all of which changes show in cases of neuro-syphilis.

So as a conclusion, i think there is a big chance or possibility that Hitler's behavior was caused by syphilis and i think the theories can be accepted.
