Adolf Hitler, Jewish and Unknown Facts-Why Hitler killed Jews?

First of all, Adolf Hitler was not a German. Though he spoke German, he was from Austria. It is said that it is not unknown who is Hitler's father. There is a doubt that he actually might be a Jew.

In Austria, Adolf Hitler had many good Jewish Friends. In the process of growing up, it is said that many Jewish friends helped him. Adolf Hitler wanted to become an artist but he was mediocre. When Hitler went to an Arts School, he was rejected there and advised that he can not be a good artist.

There is a line of argument that Hitler thought that Jewish people did not want him to be Artist as the board of admissions was all Jewish. So, there could be that Hitler wanted to take this revenge in its worst form.

It is said that when Adolf Hitler attacked Austria, he ordered to destroy completely his native village where he was born and spent his childhood. The story is that he feared that his father might be a Jewish one and he hated his father, the Jewish and any attachment to his father and father's home.

As a mode of justification of killing of Jewish, Hitler developed the "Aryan Race Theory". Hitler considered that the Germans - Aryans were the Pure Race and the people with the best race. As per Hitler, Jewish were the people with inferior race. Jewish Race did not deserve to live and Hitler blamed Jewish for the defeat of Germany in World War I (WWI). These are the explainable but possible reasons why #Hitler committed the most heinous crime in Human History. For Hitler, the Aryans were the Master Race and Jewish People did not fit into his "Concept of Master Race".


As per the report on Daily Mail, an English News paper, it might be that it was convenient for Hitler to put a blame on Jewish. The Daily Mail Report says, quoting a history book, "At the time almost half of all German private banks were Jewish owned, the stock exchange dominated by Jewish stockbrokers, almost half of the nation’s newspapers were Jewish run as were 80 per cent of chain stores. It became fashionable to decry the loss of the war on Jewish financiers."

It is said that Hitler was always against Communism and blamed Jews for Russian Revolution under Lenin in the decade of 1910s. Many Communist philosophers had Jewish Links.

Therefore, there were possibly many reasons why Hitler was against Jews. But, whatever the reasons might be, he indulged in undeniably the most atrocious crimes in Human History.

Adolf Hitler, Jewish, Nazism and Communism- Some thoughts - I

As a part of my research work in Human Rights, I got chance to visit different places in Europe. In a period of long time, I visited various Jewish Synagogues, Jewish Museum and Holocaust Museum in different parts of Europe.

When I was in Nepal and India, I learned that Hitler was a bad guy. Adolf Hitler wanted to take revenge of Germany's defeat in the First World War (WWI) and grabbed power by raising German Nationalist Slogans. We read that Adolf Hitler put blame on Jews for the loss in WWI and killed many of them. We learned these things but actually could never feel how painful the Past might have been to People of Europe and Jews in particular.

Surprisingly, in India, when I was studying, some of my classmates reviewed the book "Mein Kampf" supposedly the biography of Adolf Hitler. I read that Hindu Nationalist's Party Rastriya Swayam Shewak Dal ("RSS") in India considers Adolf Hitler a disciplined nationalist leader which is unbelievable. I never read Mein Kampf and to my knowledge, a German State Government holds Copyright over this book and does not allow it to publish in Germany. That means it is as good as banned in Germany. When I was in India, I could see that "Mein Kampf" was freely published, sold and distributed in every book shelves and it is surprisingly one of the most sold books.

The Problem is that in the eastern part of the World, we do not understand and realize the havoc created by Nazism practiced by Adolf Hitler.

In my student days, I also got a chance to read a book called "A Diary by a Fourteen Years Old Girl". The book was prepared by collecting the diary of Anne Frank who had to hide along with her parents as they were all Jews. In the diary, Frank writes how the whole family had to struggle to survive. Imagine a pain of a young kid which is only 14 years. The book sheds light on what Adolf Hitler was trying to do - by killing Jews and spreading antisemitism - in history, to be termed as "holocaust". Then, there was a movie called "Life is Beautiful" which I watched to understand more about Jewish's sufferings. That was my understanding of Adolf Hitler and his policies of destruction.

Later, when I started travelling to Europe, I could visit Jewish Museum and Synagogue in Budapest (Hungary), Jewish Museum in Amsterdam (The Netherlands), The Anne Frank Museum in Amsterdam (The Netherlands), The Dachau Concentration Camp in Munich (Germany), The Topography of Terror  Museum (Berlin, Germany). These all visits enlightened me. They told the same story in different language, from different viewpoint, through various audio - video, contemporary news papers of those times, through image, arts, photography. In silence, these huge materials speak the same language - the fear, trauma and the annihilation of human civility and modernism. It is undisputed fact that Adolf Hitler murdered Six Million People and mostly Jews. Then, We must ask another question- Why? Why Adolf Hitler Killed so many Jews? 

I will write what I think about it in my next post. Before I conclude, there are laws in many countries punishing the denial of holocaust. Holocaust denial is explicitly or implicitly illegal in 17 countries: Austria, Belgium, Canada, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Hungary, Israel, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, and Switzerland. It is also to be noted that Adolf Hitler did not kill only the Jewish people. Hitler targeted Communists, Homosexuals, Jipsy, Roma and Sinti, Russian Prisoners of Wars etc. However, the killing of Jewish has outnumbered the others and has gained many significance and received wide attention.

Some of you my ask a question. Was Hitler a Communist?Actually, No. Hitler was never communist. In fact, he killed many communists in Germany and elsewhere. Later, Hitler breached the pact with Communist Russia and Communist Russia (then USSR) had to fight against Hitler. In my Berlin Trip, in the Museum called "Topography of Terror", I saw a pamphlet of 1930-40 where Hitler blamed Communist for fire in Reichstag. Therefore, we see that Hitler was anti-communist and killed many communist People also.

My Berlin, Germany Trip - II Part - Final

On the Second and Third day of my Trip, I could cover the following places.

1. Check Point Charlie and the Museum

2. Open Free Berlin Wall related information Site

3. The Museum made by collecting the belongings of People who were killed while crossing Berlin Wall

4. The Berlin Wall

5. The Gallery of Photos on GESTAPO Site

6. The Topography of Terror

7. The "Story of Berlin" Museum and Bunker to withstand Nuclear Explosion.

From the list above, I would like to discuss little about Point No.1, and Point No. 4,5, and 6.

1. Check Point Charlie and the Museum

If you have read my first post here, you understand that Berlin was divided in East Berlin and West Berlin. The Berlin wall was created to check the people fleeing from East Germany to West Germany. The Check Point Charlie is a technically Customs/Entry Point from Communist East Germany to US Controlled West Germany. In Check Point Charlie, the US Soldiers were stationed till unification of East and West Germany. There are still road signs preserved on the street, and old USSR and US Armies memorabilia are sold on the streets. You can read more on this here. See some Photos below:

As seen from the West Germany Side-the border point when you cross to the Soviet Side

Before Berlin Wall was erected, it was a barbed fence to stop East Germans to cross to West. Russia and Eastern Blocks did not want People to flee to West side.

These People were here in Check Point Charlie Museum. If you can recognize  there is a photo of Former Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf. Next time, when you visit here, you will see a Photo of "Nepali Poet".

The photos below are from the Topography of Terror Museum which documents how Hitler exterminated Jewish, Communists, Socialists, Trade Unionist, Russian, Roma and Sintis. The Museum is located on the site where there was a Secret German Police called GESTPO's Office during Hitler's days. More on Gestapo and Topography of Horror, you can read here and here. GESTAPO was referred as SS during Nazi Time and some of the exterminations carried out by Nazi were not even known by lower rank SS Soldiers/Police.

My Berlin - Germany Trip

Hello All/Guten Tag,

This post is about my recent trip to Berlin. I hope you will enjoy reading this. In this blog, I have also included my few experiences from my Munich Trip which I had taken few months ago (About Munich Trip, I would write in some other blogs). Here it goes the details and the photos:

Berlin, the capital City of Germany is on the north side of Germany. We took GermanWings, low cost carrier of Deutsche Lufthansa. The flight was short and comfortable with Airbus A319 Plane.

The model of the Germanwings Airbus 319 with which we flew:

Germanwings.Airbus.319 to Berlin

Berlin has three main Airports - one yet to be opened. GermanWings operate from Berlin Tegel (TXL). The transportation within Berlin is very easy bus Bus, S-Bahn (Sub-Urban Bahn/Metro Train), U-Bahn (Underground Bahn/within City/Urban Area Metro Train) and by Trams (Short Distance Small Trains). 

We discovered that Berlin offers variety of Tickets/Passes to you and you can buy it depending on the length of your stay. Of Course, you can travel by buying ticket each time you board Bus or Train but if you are staying there for whole day or more than two days and will be utilizing public transportation very frequently, then, it is better to buy day Tickets/Passes. These Passes will save your money and are hassle free. We bought a day pass of Euro 6.50 for Zone AB of Berlin and started travelling around.

If you buy day Ticket from Bus Driver, the ticket for Zone AB for a day looks like this and you need not have to stamp:

In the above Picture, you can see Two Day Tickets of Berlin AB Zone

In the above Picture, you can see the Two Day Tickets of Berlin AB Zone.

After buying a day ticket in Berlin Airport (Berlin Tegel - TXL), we started our trip. Our first trip was to "The Brandenburg Gate (German: Brandenburger Tor)". You must have heard India Gate, or Gateway of India, or Arc de Trump (in France). These all are gates honouring soldiers and the Brandenburg Gate is another such gate in Germany. If you would like to read more on this and the history associated with the Brandenburg Gate, you can look at this Wikipedia Page. 

I must say that even at the end of March, Berlin was very very cold, wet and was snowing. The wind was blowing very badly at Berlin and it was difficult to hold camera on hands to click photos. Even the Camera Quality was bad and I have taken few photos. Some of such photos are here:

In the last image, you can see two people dressed as soldiers and holding flags of United States of America and Communist Flag of USSR. This is in total the history of Berlin - a very painful history. The guy who is holding US Flag is dressed like US Army and the another is dressed like Soviet Army. Germany suffered heavy loss on First World War (WWI) and when Hitler tried to take revenge of that in Second World War (WWII), it suffered again. Thereafter, the big powers divided Germany in East Germany and West Germany. Even the Berlin City was divided in East Berlin and West Berlin and East Berlin was ruled by Soviet Forces and West Berlin was further divided in US ruled areas, UK ruled areas and France ruled areas. At the height of the Cold War in 1960s, Berlin Wall was created by Soviet Forces/Eastern Bloc so that people will not flee from East to West. As per history, the wall was just next to this  "The Brandenburg Gate" and the then US President Ronald Regan delivered his historic speech just next to the wall urging USSR Communist General Secretary Gorbachov to bring the wall down, to demolish it.

Ronald Regan says, "Tear Down this Wall". The Speech was made at 1987 and the Berlin Wall was demolished after fall of USSR in 1989. The Berlin City has major Museums and History covering the pain of Hitler's terror and Cold War on which I shall write more later.

After visiting "The Brandenburg Gate", we headed to see Bundestag (German parliament)/Reichstag. The building is a simple one in terms of architecture but has a very historic place as Hitler, during 1930 and 40s had complete control over it while spreading terror. Near to it, there is a Office of German Chancellor  Both photos can be seen below and there is no barricade or presence of any heavy security forces in stark contrast to India and Nepal or other poor third world countries.

German Parliament.Bundestag.Reichstag

Office of German Cancellor

You can see in the photos gloomy and cloudy day and the snow all around. It was very difficult to take photos in minus 5 degree centigrade and when it was raining and snowing.

You can read more about German Parliament from Here.

On the very first day after visiting Bundestag, we headed to Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe. It is not a cemetery but around 2000 box/stones erected to remember the Six Million Jews killed by Hitler and Nazi. You can read more on this here.

I will be writing more about #Hitler, anti-Jewish and #Nazism and #Berlin, #Germany more on coming days. If you like this post, do not forget to say hello!

Auf Wiedersehen (is German for goodbye). :))

पेरिस भ्रमण - फर्केर हेर्दा - भाग एक

केहि दिन अघि पेरिस (Paris - the capital of France) , फ्रान्सको राजधानी जाने मौका मिल्यो। यो मेरो दोस्रो पेरिस भ्रमण थियो। मैले काम गर्ने एनजीओको रिपोर्ट सबमिट गर्न भनेर मा पेरिस पुगेको थिए। काम भयो दुइ चार दिन निरन्तर। अनि अन्तिमका तिन दिन पेरिस हेर्ने अवसर मिल्यो।

भनि हाले पहिले पनि गएको थिए यहि वर्ष मार्च मा। तेती बेला पनि मिलेको थियो दुइ दिन पेरिस हेर्न र मुख्य मुख्य ठाउ हरु हेरिसकेको थिए। यसपटक पनि तिनै मुख्य मुख्य ठाउहरु हेरे। तर पहिलेको तुलना मा बढी समय पाए। पेरिसलाई गहिरिएर हेरे। नजिकबाट बुझ्ने कोसिस गरे। दोस्रोपटक भएर होला - ट्राभेलिंग अलिक इजी लाग्यो। त्यो पेरिसमा दौडने सर्प जस्ता मेट्रो ट्रेन हरुका कनेक्सन राम्ररी बुझे। आज तिनै अनुभब हरुका बारे लेखने जमर्को गरेको छु।

पेरिसलाई कला (Arts) , संस्क्रिती (Culture), आर्किटेक्चर (Architecture) र फेसन (Fashion) को सहर भन्दा रहेछन र यो साच्ची नै तिनै कुरा हरुको प्रतिनिधित्व गर्दछ।

कुरा सुरु गरौ फेसन बाट। पेरिस साच्ची नै स्वतन्त्रताको प्रतिक हो। यहा मान्छेको कला लाइ निर्बाध देखाउने अवसर छ। यो अवसर आज बाट हैन। यो धेरै पहिले बाट स्वतन्त्र हो र धेरै नै फेसन का ब्रान्ड हरु पेरिस मा ओरिजिन भएका छन्। ति राम्रा र चिटिक्क मिलेका भवन हरुमा रहेका आकर्सक सपिङ्ग मल हरु हेर्दा लाग्छ - सबै कुरा यहि बाट किनी हालु। तर मूल्य यति बढी कि किनी हाल्न चाही नसकिने। हेरेरै चित्त बुझाए मैले चाही।

कला र आर्किटेक्चर मा चाहि यो सहर संसारकै सार्है राम्रा सहर हरु मध्ये अग्र स्थान मै आउछ। कुरोलाई अघि बढाउ  यहि बाट पेरिस मा के के देखियो र कसरि पेरिस घुमियो भन्ने बारेमा.

म पेरिस सहर ट्रेन बाट छिरेको थिए। पेरिसमा गारे डेल इस्ट (Gare De'l Est) , गारे डेल नोर्ड (Gare Del Nord)  अनि गारे डेल ल्योन (Gare Del Lyon) जस्ता प्रमुख ट्रेन स्टेसन छन्। तपाइँ कहा बाट आउनु भएको हो त्यस्कुरामा डिपेण्ड हुन्छ ट्रेन कहा रोकिन्छ भन्ने। म 250 - 350 किलोमिटर प्रतीघंटा को गतिमा दौडने टिजिएफ़ (TGF) (फ्रान्सको ट्रेन) चढेर गारे डेल इस्टमा उत्रिए रातिको 11.30 बजे को लोकल समय अनुसार।

हामी चार जना थियौ। होटल गारे डेल इस्ट र गारे डेल नोर्ड दुवै ट्रेन स्टेसन बाट नजिकै पर्ने गरि बुक गरिएको थियो। चार जना एउटै रुम मा रहने गरि होटल तिन दिनका लागि बुक गरिएको थियो। तिन दिनको 440 यूरो। के सार्हो महँगो। हिडेर नै होटल जाने प्लान थियो तर रातको 11.30 पिअम मा पुगिएला न पुगिएला भनेर ट्याक्सी लिने बिचार गरियो। ट्याक्सी लिएर होटल पुगेउ। नजिकै रहेछ। मात्र 6 युरो को बिल थियो। ट्याक्सी ड्राइभर ले फ्रेन्च मा के के भन्न थाल्यो। अलि अलि बुझियो। डेढ़ भाडा लाग्छ भन्ने रातको समय भएकाले। कनी कनी ड्राइभरले बिल दियो लेखेर 9 यूरो 40 सेन्ट को। मैले तेस्का हातमा 10 यूरो थमाए र भने मर्सि (Merci in French means Thank you! धन्यबाद )

युरोपका आफ्नै भाषा छन्। इन्ग्लिश युरोपको भाषा हैन। फ्रेन्च हरु ता एङ्ग्लिश पटक्कै बोल्दैनन। थाहा पाएको थिए मैले। सिके दुइ चार सब्द र तेसैले काम चलाए। 

राति गइयो र होटल मा सुतियो। बिहान उठियो र होटल मै आठ यूरो पे गरेर ब्रेकफास्ट गरियो अनि 9 बजे तिर बिहान घुम्न निक्लेउ हामी। सनिबार को दिन थ्यो त्यो। 

सबै भन्दा राम्रो पक्क्ष पेरिसको के हो भने यसको चारै तिर मेट्रो ट्रेनको राम्रो कनेक्सन छ। अझ हामि ता पेरिसको हार्ट मै बसेका थियेउ। हाम्रो होटल बाट केवल दुइ सय मिटरको दुरीमा दुइवटा मेट्रो स्टेसन रहेछ। त्यो बिहान थाहा पायेउ। होटल ले दिएको फ्री को म्याप हेरेर। अनि होटल को रिसेप्सन मा अंग्रेजी बोल्ने मानिस रहेछन तिनलाई सोधपुछ गरेर। पेरिसका प्राय सबै होटल मा फ्रीको म्याप पाइन्छ यो राम्रो कुरा हो।  

हामि बसेको होटल बाट केवल दुइ सय मिटर को दुरीमा रहेका दुइवटा मेट्रो स्टेसन हरु Grands Boulevards (Paris Métro) (More from Here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grands_Boulevards_(Paris_M%C3%A9tro)  and
