Reason+for+Persecution



Lifestyle Many influences throught Hitler’s life may have caused him to hate the Jews. ** As Hitler was growing up, he didn't really have any real family to support him. His first mother had died from breast cancer while he was still in his teen and his second mother was abused by his father so she left them. His two brothers died of the measles and he rejected any form of love from his father. However most of the time he received no love because his father beat him as well. Hitler never made big attempts to have fun or make friends. Hitler’s decision to persecute the Jews was partial to the fact that he did not have a good lifestyle growing up. ** Prejudices When Germany did not have the strength to be victorious in WW1 Hitler blamed it on the Jews. He claimed that the Jewish and homosexual communities were the weakness in Germany. Hitler was a very patriotic man and for him to think that one race of people was the reason for Germany’s sad state after World War one was devastating for him. This built up anger slowly grew into a fiery hatred that was not only based on this but on common stereotypes. Other people in the German community looked down upon Jewish people and homosexuals. But Hitler took this to a whole new level when he issued the Nuremberg Laws and the persecution of all Jews. He claimed that he wanted to purify Germany and make it the best country in the world. This is how he justifies his terrible actions.
