Mein Kampf

Even his own words provide some direct evidence to attest; "Hitler placed in Mein Kampf a classic passage, one that explained how and why he constantly wove together[]French, Marxism, the Berlin government, and Jews" (Flood 592). Hitler did not hate Jews as much as he seemed to; he merely used Jews as a visible scapegoat so as to begin his own rise to power in the shattered remains of post-World War I Germany.
             In order for him to use Jews as a scapegoat, however, first he must make them out to be the source of all problems in Germany, and later on, the world. Before he can equate being Jewish with his (Hitler's) enemies, he must first ensure that all Germany hates Jews. He begins his assault against Jews in the chapter "Transformation into an Anti-Semite": "By their very exterior you could tell that these were no lovers of water[]all of this could scarcely be called very attractive; but it became positively repulsive when, in addition to their physical uncleanliness, you discovered the moral stains on this chosen people." (Hitler 57). In a single page, Hitler had already condemned Jews as not only being physically corrupt and unclean, but morally corrupt as well.
             This is just the beginning. He goes on to verbally trash everything which Jews have accomplished, saying that "there has never been a Jewish art and accordingly there is none today either; that[]architecture and music, owe nothing original to the Jews" (Hitler 303). Not only is the Jew useless and corrupt, but the very nature of the Jew actually forces him to be corrupt. "Existence compels the Jew to lie, and to lie perpetually, just as it compels the inhabitants of the northern countries to wear warm clothing" (Hitler 305). Not only were Jews evil, they were also the reason behind which Germany was attacked and defeated by the English and French forces. "The annihilation of Germany was not an English interest, but primarily a Jewish one, just as today a destruction of Japan serves[]the interests of the leaders of the projected Jewish world empire" (Hitler 638).
