Was hitler Jewish? Ive heard stories that he was?

I’ve heard stories that he was jewish as a child himself, I just want to know if this is true or not, and in no way is this meant to be racial or religious hate towards anyone.
To Hatikvah JPA,

My question in no way was ment to be, in any way again, offensive. I was clearing wondering the very possibility of him being Jewish. Why do I care? I love my fellow Jewish brothers and sisters, I however am a Christian, I may not be Jewish but I do however consider each person to be an equal of myself. I simply wanted to know the true religion of a man who should be and is damned a thousand times and casted into the deepest, darkest, most void, abyssal parts of hell. And, I’m only 15.

Why would you possibly care? Do you think it was Hitler himself that loaded the trains heading to the gas chambers? Do you think it was Hitler himself that went from house to house ordering Jews to clean their sidewalks — with their tongues? Do you think it was Hitler himself who did those medical experiments on twins?

Hitler may have been the leader in charge, but it wasn’t Hitler who committed the vast majority of atrocities. It was the common, mainstream German, Austrian, Pole, etc. and those who stood by in silence while those atrocities were being committed. Why does no one ever asks about *their* religion. What religion were the perpetrators? How can it be possible that so many people of *any* religion would commit those atrocities and/or stand by in silence while they were committed?

    No. The Jewish accusations were unfounded mudslinging by his political opponents.

    Your question is an example of why we need more education about the holocaust in modern society.

    Yes as many crypto Jews. His obsession with occultist symbolism and homoeroticism is indicative of his Jewishness.

    I think his great grandmother worked in a Jewish hosehold, and was raped by the Jewish master. So…

    Hello,

    Another myth for allied war time propaganda similar to the one that he had just one testicle.
    Hitler was born into a Roman Catholic family but he left the church and sacraments at a young age.

    Cheers,

    It does not matter what Hitler was. Jew, Atheist, Christian, or Muslim. It makes no difference. He was an abberation of human life. He simply doesn’t count for anything.

    Yes but he rebelled against his father by being a Christian. He hated his father very much

    There were some rumors that Hitler’s father was half-Jewish.

    Here’s a history of Hitler’s ancestry, and the rumors of his Jewish heritage.

    Nope..although there were rumours, even while he was alive, he had some Jewish distant family..

    Not by reasonable definitions of Jewishness. By the ridiculous "one drop of blood"/"Judaism is an ethnicity" definition, then maybe.

    The identity of his paternal grandfather is unknown. Adolf was enough worried that he had the Jewishness laws specifically exclude himself (and Jesus).

    But no, Hitler was not Jewish, he was Christian. I mean, he had a special exception for Jesus’ Jewishness written into his bigot laws.

    Hitler’s father, Alois Hitler, was an illegitimate child and, for the first 39 years of his life, bore his mother’s surname, Schicklgruber.[5] Alois’ paternity was not listed on his birth certificate, and has been the subject of much controversy. After receiving a "blackmail letter" from Hitler’s nephew William Patrick Hitler threatening to reveal embarrassing information about Hitler’s family tree, Nazi Party lawyer Hans Frank investigated, and, in his memoirs, claimed to have uncovered letters that revealed Ms. Schicklgruber was employed as a housekeeper for a Jewish family in Graz and that the family’s 19-year-old son, Leopold Frankenberger, fathered Alois.[5] No evidence has ever been produced to support Frank’s claim, and Frank himself said Hitler’s full Aryan blood was obvious.[6] Frank’s claims were widely believed in the 1950s, but by the 1990s, were generally doubted by historians.[7][8] Ian Kershaw dismisses the Frankenberger story as a "smear" by Hitler’s enemies, noting that all Jews had been expelled from Graz in the 15th century and were not allowed to return until well after Alois was born.[8]

    Nope, he was an atheist. He often called Christianity a disease that needed to be wiped out.

    I wouldn’t be surprised. I’ve heard the same stories. At this point we’ll never know and it really doesn’t make any difference.
    KARL MARX WAS JEWISH AND HE HATED JEWS.
    Marx caused far more deaths of Jews than Hitler could dream of.
    I cannot imagine why any Jews are anything but ultra conservative right wing republican. It makes no sense. Socialism, Comunism and modern US Democrat politics mean nothing but more persecution of the Jews in the long run.
    The only thing I think is more obscene than Nazism is the self loathing Jew. Like Marx.

    It has been told he was maybe 10 percent. I don’t remember which side it came from. He was raised a catholic. In his writeings he sounds very christian. And godly. But it doesn’t matter much as he was insane from syphlis. So, does that mean god is going to let him off the hook. Because he was insane.

    In fact Hitler states the extermination of the jews are his duty to protect the lord God, almighty from the jews in Mein Kampf, and several independent speeches.

  23. RC says:

    There is nothing to substantiate that Hitler was Jewish, nor that he was Christian.
    He did have a Catholic upbringing, which may have exposed him at an early age to antisemitism.

    But the greatest effect on Hitler seems to have been the book -with the typically long title for it’s day (20 words long)
    "The Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection or the Preservation of Favored Races in the Struggle for Life". by Charles Robert Darwin as well as his book "The Descent of Man".

    Hitler’s Mein Kampf was essentially a Social Darwinian blueprint.

    Hitler was Catholic all his life. He died one in good standing, he was never excommunicated. There were certain parts of Christianity he wanted to wipe out, but not the Church.

  25. A Trying Guy says:

    Some speculate because his grandmother refused to reveal the identity of her child’s father to her death.

    There was a suspicion that it was her Jewish employer, but there is no evidence of this, and Hitler certainly never spoke of it.

  26. John r says:

    There is debate over whether or not he had any Jewish blood. Some say his paternal grandmother (who was a house keeper[maybe for a Jewish family]) was impregnated by a Jew.Whatever his blood line,he was most certainly not a practicing Jew. Neither was his a Christian.Publicly he paid "Lip service" to Christianity because he feared the power of the Church. Privately he lamented that Germany was a Christian Country,because he considered it to be too meek and it’s link to Judaism. He appears to have believed in in god in some form though.

    Think we can all agree though,that he was scum.
