Hitler Never Killed A Jew He Actually Pardoned One But Gave Orders To Exterminate 6 Million Jews ! ringroad.com.ng
– After years of Nazi rule in Germany, during which Jews were consistently persecuted, Hitler’s “final solution”–now known as the Holocaust
Propaganda was as an important tool to win over the majority of the German public who had not supported Adolf Hitler. It served to push forward the Nazis’ radical program, which required the acquiescence, support, or participation of broad sectors of the population.
Combined with terror to intimidate those who did not comply, a new state propaganda apparatus headed by Joseph Goebbels manipulated and deceived the German population and the outside world. Propagandists preached an appealing message of national unity and a utopian future that resonated with millions of Germans. They also waged campaigns that facilitated the persecution of Jews and others excluded from the Nazi vision of the “National Community.”
Hitler was beaten by his father, Alois.
“His father had been a brutal, tyrannical man who tyrannized his entire family and beat Adolf [on a] fairly regular basis,” Jones stated.
However, Evans argued: “The claim that [Hitler] had an abusive childhood is based on speculation; there is no evidence to suggest that his father was more violent than other fathers of the time.”
The documentary painted a picture of Hitler as a lazy and arrogant student, who was embittered by his rejection by the prestigious Vienna Academy of Arts. It suggested that as a resentful vagrant living on the streets of Vienna he sold paintings, postcards and drawings, frequently through Jewish middlemen.

However, Evans, former Regius Professor of History at the University of Cambridge and the author of a number of books on the Third Reich, urged caution about some of these claims.
“It is true that Hitler did not visit any extermination camps, but he was sent, and read, the regular reports of the SS task forces who shot hundreds of thousands of Jews in pits behind the Eastern Front during the war,” he noted.
“The incident recorded by [Albert] Speer in which Hitler had the blinds on his train windows pulled down was prompted by a trainload of German war wounded,” Evans said. “Jews were transported for the most part in cattle trucks and would not have been visible from outside.”

He never visited a single death camp and would not speak openly about his plans to annihilate the Jews, but the Führer’s indelible imprint can be found at every stage of the ‘Final Solution’, writes Professor Ian Kershaw
The Nazi attack on the very basis of humanity, at its centre the Nazi “Final Solution” – the attempt to annihilate the Jews of Europe – is rightly associated for ever with the name of Adolf Hitler. The one thing that everyone knows about him is that he was the most radical of radical anti-Semites – a paranoid Jew-hater. From the beginning of his political “career” onwards he repeatedly spoke of the need to “remove” the Jews.
Once he became dictator of Germany, the “removal” of the Jews began, first from Germany, later from all over Europe. By 1941, “removal” meant extermination. Auschwitz emerged as the place where the most were killed: about one million people were murdered in its gas chambers.
What is surprising, then, is that Hitler never visited a single concentration camp, let alone death camp. He kept himself aloof from the dirtiest work of his regime. He did not speak about the “Final Solution”, even to his closest entourage, other than in vague terms.
He spoke publicly, and in the most vicious way, about the persecution of the Jews, but he never associated himself in plain language with their killing, as Himmler did. In October 1943 the Reichsführer addressed SS leaders about what it was like to see 1,000 corpses lying side by side, describing “the extermination of the Jewish people” as a “glorious page in our history that has never been written and is never to be written”.
No written order by Hitler for the Final Solution has ever been found. It is as good as certain that none ever existed. The distance that Hitler kept between himself and the actual killing has fuelled neo-Nazi claims that he was not responsible for the murder of the Jews, and that Himmler kept him in ignorance of what was taking place. In truth, however, Hitler’s indelible imprint can be found at every stage of the Final Solution.
His central role is superficially obscured by the deliberate camouflage language about the extermination used by the Nazi leadership; by his extreme unbureaucratic leadership style, and by the high premium he attached to secrecy. Orders on sensitive issues were passed on verbally, on a “need-to-know” basis. That the paper trail often stops before it reaches him is testimony not to his ignorance of the Final Solution, but to the way his dictatorship worked.
With Hitler’s takeover of power on January 30, 1933, a proto-genocidal elite, backed by the huge Nazi mass movement, gained control over a modern, sophisticated state. Its message was one of national renewal to be achieved through racial cleansing – at its core the “removal” of the Jews.
Hitler embodied this aim. His extreme anti-Semitism had been signalled for years in speeches revealing a genocidal mentality. He needed remarkably little personal involvement to preside over the persecution of the Jews. Even so, the key steps – a nationwide boycott of Jewish shops in 1933, the introduction in 1935 of the notorious Nuremberg Laws turning Jews into pariahs, and the terrible pogrom of November 1938 – needed his approval.
Six years after taking power, Hitler spoke menacingly in public about what would happen to the Jews in the event of another war. “Today, I will once more be a prophet: if the international Jewish financiers in and outside Europe should succeed in plunging the nations once more into a world war, then the result will not be the Bolshevising of the earth, and thus the victory of Jewry, but the annihilation of the Jewish race in Europe!” he said.
It highlighted a core element in Hitler’s mentality: his identification of the Jews with capitalism; with Bolshevism; with war. He held them responsible for Germany’s terrible suffering and vain sacrifice in the First World War. A second war would reverse that disaster and bring about Germany’s revenge. That was his thinking. He would return to his “prophecy” on more than a dozen occasions as the Final Solution took shape – invariably at key junctures.
One such was in the summer of 1941. Behind the German troops advancing into the Soviet Union, the security police “task forces” (Einsatzgruppen) had begun slaughtering male Jews. In July and August, after secret discussions between Hitler and Himmler, there was a sharp expansion of the killing, now extended to women and children, who started to be massacred in huge numbers. Reports had to be sent to Hitler.
Every Nazi leader accepted that only Hitler could take the major decisions. In August, he authorised the compulsory wearing of the “yellow star” by German Jews. In doing so, Hitler repeated his prophecy, pointing out that “the Jews will not have much cause to laugh in future”.
The following month, he ordered the deportation of German Jews. He had wanted to postpone this until the war in the east was over. It had been anticipated that it would take only a few months to finish off the Soviet Union.
By late summer, it was obvious that the bitter conflict would drag on. The Jews could not, therefore, be deported to the arctic wastes of the Soviet Union, to freeze to death or perish through starvation and inhumane labour, as the Nazis had foreseen. Another solution had urgently to be found. At precisely this point, Nazi propaganda distributed posters to all party branches carrying Hitler’s “prophecy”.
Genocide was now in the air – and started to be put into practice by a number of regional Nazi leaders. The move to all-out genocide was gathering pace. It received a big boost immediately after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor and the German declaration of war on America in early December 1941. On December 12, addressing his party leaders, Hitler again repeated his prophecy that if the Jews brought about another world war, they would bring about their own annihilation.
The Governor General of occupied Poland, Hans Frank, did not need any explicit order to know what was required. He went back to Cracow, evoked Hitler’s “prophecy”, and told his own minions: “We must destroy the Jews wherever we find them.”
By spring 1942, this aim was turning into a comprehensive programme. Speaking of the extermination of the Jews in the Lublin area, Joseph Goebbels, the Reich propaganda minister, wrote in his diary: “A judgment is being carried out on the Jews which is barbaric, but fully deserved. The prophecy which the Führer gave them along the way for bringing about
a new world war is beginning to come true in the most terrible fashion. Here, too, the Führer is the unswerving champion and spokesman of a radical solution.”
By summer 1942, with the death camps in Poland (now including AuschwitzBirkenau) working at full tilt, the Final Solution was extended to western Europe. Himmler, carrying the main responsibility for the implementation of the extermination programme, repeatedly insisted that he was acting on Hitler’s authority.
In a secret memorandum of July 28, 1942, for instance, he stated: “The occupied eastern territories are being made free of Jews. The Führer has placed the implementation of this difficult order on my shoulders.” There is evidence that he discussed extermination policy privately with Hitler.
Those directly involved in putting the Final Solution into practice, included Adolf Eichmann, who “managed” it, and Rudolf Höss, the commandant of Auschwitz, operated under the presumption that the orders derived from Hitler himself. So did numerous lower-ranking SS leaders, who had no doubt that they were fulfilling “the wish of the Führer”.
Hitler continued to be closely involved in the Final Solution. He was kept informed of the scale of the “removal” of the Jews, sometimes in statistical detail. His known “wish” to have the Jews “removed”, as laid out in his “prophecy”, set the guidelines for action. Within this general remit, a radicalising proposal would then be put to him to deal with some specific aspect of the overall problem. Hitler would give his approval. The action would follow. That was the pattern.
Though Hitler’s own actions are often hidden in the shadows, Goebbels’ description of him as “the unswerving champion and spokesman of a radical solution” to the “Jewish Question” was spot on.
There cannot be the slightest doubt: without Hitler, the creation of a programme, of which Auschwitz stands as the enduring symbol, to bring about the physical extermination of the Jews of Europe is unimaginable.

The one ‘noble Jew’
The program noted that Hitler had, in fact, shown mercy to only one Jew, Eduard Bloch. A Linz-based doctor, Bloch treated Hitler’s mother, Klara, when she was dying of breast cancer. When Germany annexed Austria in 1938, Hitler awarded him special protection and he was allowed to emigrate to the United States in 1940.
Hitler called Bloch “the noble Jew,” according to the documentary, and said, “If all Jews were like him, there would be no Jewish question.”
“Hitler’s very private act of mercy towards Dr. Bloch was not to be repeated,” Borman said.
