After Adolf Hitler and his Nazi Party rose to popular power in January of 1933, the Jews of Germany, and later all of mainland Europe, would be living in a deadly, deadly society. These years, later called the Holocaust Years, would see the Jewish population of Europe being exterminated, as part of Hitler's "Final Solution" in dealing with what he called the Jewish problem, in his rhetorical speeches of hate against Jews. At 1933, there had been well over nine million Jews living in Europe. Before the war began, 1939, most Jews had already begun to be sent to concentration camps, transit camps, or forced to live in ghettoes. After June of 1941, when the Soviet Union was invaded, Hitler sent out the infamous Einsatzgruppen, his "mobile killing units," who killed an estimated one million Soviet Jews. By the end of World War Two, after Hitler's suicide and the overthrow of the Nazi regime, approximately six million Jews, almost two-thirds of the entire European Jewish population, had been murdered.
Common sense tells us that the reason behind Hitler's programs of mass-extermination were fueled by his hatred of Jews. And, indeed, hatred and loathing played a major role in his demagogical speeches to the German people. Hitler started what can easily be considered one of the greatest waves of hatred by one group of human beings towards another group. There is no doubt at all that Nazi Germany was a profoundly anti-Jewish state, due in no small part to Hitler's many speeches and Nazi state-run propaganda. But what about Hitler himself? Did he truly hate Jews as much as he seemed to? Or was there perhaps, in his rants against the Jewish people, a hidden, practical, political reasoning behind them?.
After careful examination of the situation, Hitler's own words in Mein Kampf, and the words of those who knew Hitler, it can be concluded that Hitler's constant diatribes against the Jewish population was not fueled by hate alone or possibly even in large part, but by political reasons.
