HIEU 158 Chapter 3: Rees -- Chapter 3
Document Summary
The prison hitler was sent to was very plush. He laid out a blueprint of his anti semitism for people to see. He made up a false narrative of his life before the war and even after it in order to make himself look more heroic. He calls for the jews to be gassed. Not quite implying mass murder, but rather that the jews should"ve been the ones to die in wwi, not germans. Still just wanted to take away their citizenship. He appealed to christians and the traditional christian based anti semitism by implying that he was christian. He wasn"t really, he didn"t even really like christianity. He needed the christian parties on his side. His basis for hating the jews was racial, not religious. He believed that they were bad because of their race, which made conversion as a form of penance impossible. He saw them as one of the most pure races and therefore in direct.
