Why did Hitler Hate Jews? The answer to our query about Hitler's hate is typically fashioned around incomprehensible, even fantastically irrational singularities such as his failure to gain a seat in the Vienna Academy of Fine Art. Other, equally inane reasons are frequently offered to account for his hate. Such explanations skirt an all too apparent truth: a small minority of radical Marxist Jews of his era were prominent in numerous upheavals of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. This book identifies both the players and the events that led to Hitler's loathing and it rejects the simplistic and often highly fanciful claims of those who argue that the roots of his hate are attributable to a single event or experience, or are simply unfathomable. Hitler was a despicable man and fully deserves the odium he engendered. Still, he also had positive qualities that endeared him to his entourage and his people. In addition to explaining Hitler's hate, this book paints a somewhat different picture of Hitler: in particular, it highlights some of the positive qualities of the man, his entourage, and his people.
