Why did Hitler "slaughter" Jews during World War II?

Hitler was an extreme racist and anti-Semitic. In Mein Kampf, he wrote: "The biggest antithesis of Aryans is Jews." He regards Jews as the enemy of the world, the root of all evil things, the root of all disasters and the destroyer of human life order. These views became the theoretical basis for Hitler's subsequent slaughter of millions of Jews in an attempt to exterminate them. The reasons can be seen from the following four aspects:

1. Historical reasons. Historically, Europeans have held prejudices against Jews. In order to clarify the problem, it is necessary to make a simple institutional review of the history of the Jewish nation. The distant ancestors of the Jews were the Hebrews, a branch of the ancient Semitic people. Before BC, their ancestors once lived in the land of Arab Malestan. In the 1st century AD, after the Roman Empire captured Pakistan, Jews held many large-scale uprisings against the Roman occupiers, but they were all brutally suppressed by the Roman rulers. Until the Jewish uprising in 135 A.D. failed miserably, in this more than a century, the Roman rulers slaughtered millions of Jews, and finally drove all the rest out of the land of Malestan, making them scattered to the backward small-scale agricultural and pastoral society in Western Europe. Land was regarded as the most precious wealth, and commerce was an industry that people despised. After the Jews fled to western Europe, the local feudal owners discriminated against them very much, forbidding them to occupy land and allowing them to run businesses only. I don't know whether the historical fault educated them, or whether the hardships of life and death whetted them, or whether it was the opportunity given by history. In short, the historical aggregate composed of all these things has cast the characteristics of Jews and made them smart and strong. They not only thrive tenaciously in difficulties, but also become rich gradually.

from 13th to 15th century, Europe began to enter the capitalist society, and the local emerging bourgeoisie had a conflict of interest with the emerging Jewish capitalists who made a fortune through business, and the bad luck came to the Jews again. The conflict of real interests and the difference of religious beliefs forced a large number of Jews to flow to Eastern Europe and American countries, and started the second Jewish escape in history. Unfortunately, this anti-Jewish consciousness has actually evolved into a cultural deposit, which has been "inherited" to modern times in some countries and regions. Especially in Germany and Austria after entering this century, anti-Semitism is increasing day by day, among which Hitler and his followers are typical representatives.

2. Religious complex. Christianity is the most widely spread religion with the largest number of believers in the world. In Europe, especially in western Europe, people generally believe in Christ Jesus. Although the Old Testament, one of the Christian classics, was originally a Jewish classic, there is a close historical relationship between the two religions. However, according to Christian teachings, Judas, one of Jesus' 12 disciples, sold the son of God for 3 pieces of silver coins, and the Jews crucified Jesus, which caused Christians' emotional hatred of Jews. Therefore, it is difficult for Christians in Europe to accept Jews in religious feelings. This socialization of religious feelings has gradually evolved into a popular social mentality of hating Jews. Similarly, this social mentality is also a cultural precipitation. Generations are "inherited" and gradually combined with social economy and politics with the passage of time, making it a potential social and political force that can be used at any time. When this potential thing is used by a political careerist (s), it will erupt like a volcano and become a crazy social driving force.

It should be noted that at that time, nationalist thoughts prevailed within the German and Austrian nationalities, and the original religious feelings intensified under the actual conflict of interests, which made people's existing anti-Semitic feelings more intense, thus intensifying their hatred of Jews. Under the influence of this social atmosphere, Hitler's view of "hating Judaism and anti-Semitism" gradually formed, and quickly became the dominant of this social sentiment. On the one hand, the social sentiment of hating Judaism and anti-Semitism in Germany and Austria at that time greatly stimulated his political ambition, which made his nationalist thoughts expand viciously, created social value orientation and cultivated political power for his future policies and measures of hating Judaism and anti-Semitism.

3, the needs of reality. In the late 192s and early 193s, the world economic crisis broke out, which severely hit Germany, making its industrial production fall back to the level at the end of last century, and its national strength gradually declined. The profound economic crisis not only intensified the domestic class contradictions, but also stimulated the monopoly bourgeoisie's ambition to expand abroad. "The German nation must find a way out from the plundered land and production space." Hitler's idea of striving for the world was supported by the German monopoly bourgeoisie. However, the implementation of the evil plan to build a Germanic empire of the German nation requires huge funds to provide financial guarantee. In the case of declining national strength, it is natural for them to reach out to rich Jews.

In addition, Jews living in all parts of Europe are not only rich, but also have higher quality than other nationalities. Faced with such a nation, Hitler and his followers felt both hatred and timidity. In their minds, the Jews, a special social group, are a serious threat to their dream of "the Third Reich". These undoubtedly aggravated Hitler's hatred and political jealousy towards Jews. In addition, the social and political life in Germany at that time was completely in an extremely crazy symptom, which made Hitler's anti-Semitism view not only have a proper social environment, but also quickly become crazy.

4, violent morbid psychology. Hitler was the illegitimate child of a small official of Austrian customs. He lacked a good education since childhood and wandered the streets of Vienna and Munich all day in his youth, which made him selfish and arrogant. As one of his childhood class teachers later recalled, "Hitler lacked self-control, at least he was regarded as stubborn, headstrong, self-righteous and grumpy." In addition, he suffers from spasmodic neuroticism, and he goes crazy and even squats on the floor to chew the carpet. It can be seen from relevant historical materials that rage is a typical feature of Hitler's character. For example, one day in 1942, a surgeon of Nazi German Armed Forces, Zall Boroch, was ordered to meet Hitler. Hitler's dog swooped on the doctor, and he was scared out of his wits. The doctor was forced to talk to him in a low voice. Soon, he quietly lay down beside the doctor, put his forelegs on his knees, looked at him meekly, and made fun of him. Hitler was furious when he saw this scene: "It is the only creature who is completely loyal to me, but you cheated it and I want to kill it." The voice is getting louder and louder, and it is almost to the point of screaming. I am afraid to shout and threaten to imprison the doctor. Things like this happen from time to time. The rage is like jealousy, which makes him vicious and cruel. Hitler is a political madman with serious pathological psychology.

The above four reasons, if we look at any one of them in isolation, can hardly constitute an extinct vendetta against Jews. Only when these four reasons are integrated can we produce certain social effects that make the Jewish nation doomed, and Hitler is the leader who skillfully combines these four reasons.

First of all, the Nazi Party advertised that the German nation was an excellent nation and regarded the Jewish nation as an inferior nation under the banner of nationalism and socialism, which were popular in Germany at that time. In order to confuse people and deceive the German people, Hitler carefully packaged this theory of racial discrimination from two aspects. First, according to his own social logic, he was afraid to extract some words and phrases from predecessors' discussions on population issues out of context and piece together a theory of racial superiority and inferiority, thus creating a theoretical basis for pushing Jews into inferior races. The second is to use the anti-Semitic consciousness and religious complex deeply rooted in the hearts of Germans and Austrians to advocate the fallacy of "Jewish plague". After Hitler's deliberate "grafting", this theory is no longer racial discrimination in the general sense. He used historical and religious factors to create a broad social foundation for his extermination of Jews, making this theory more universal and inflammatory. As soon as Hitler came to power, he was able to successfully carry out a set of anti-Semitic policies that persecuted Jews crazily, which undoubtedly benefited from his absurd theory. Secondly, the Nazi party also used the psychology that the broad masses in Germany hated the Versailles Peace Treaty at that time to incite revenge and transfer this emotion to the Jews.

Among these four reasons, the realistic need is the most direct factor, and the other two reasons are also very important. Without historical reasons and religious complex as the leading conditions, it is hard to imagine that even if the reality needs it again, it will reach such a crazy and cruel level. Only when these four reasons are integrated, the terrible and disgusting driving force full of blood is produced.

any historical event is the product of the combined efforts of various related social factors, or it is created by current events. During World War II, 6 million Jews were killed, and Hitler was the culprit. Hitler's unique racial hatred and political jealousy towards Jews is a special reflection of the morbid psychology of political lunatics. The "bacteria" that led to Hitler's serious morbid psychology came from historical prejudice and religious complex, which happened to be bred by the German social environment at that time. To be exact, Hitler's serious morbid psychology and the crazy morbid state of social and political life in Germany at that time were complementary. On the one hand, crazy morbid psychology is the adhesive of historical prejudice, religious complex and practical needs; On the other hand, the aggregation of these three reasons pushed Hitler's crazy and morbid psychology to the extreme, which led to the great tragedy of human history.

"Remember the past, and learn from the future". History is a mirror. I hope the world will be flat forever, so that all ethnic groups can live under the same blue sky in equality and harmony.
