Hitler's Personal Contacts with Jews

In the United States, the publishing house TrineDay has released an extensive book devoted exclusively to Hitler’s personal contacts with Jews or people of Jewish descent. The book is titled Hitler’s Jewish Biography and was written by Thomas Frederik. Across ninety chapters, it presents numerous Jewish individuals with whom Hitler apparently maintained friendly relationships. The work is based on authentic historical sources that can be independently verified.

For example, Hitler had a Jewish landlord (Hugo Erlanger), a Jewish bodyguard and personal chauffeur (Emil Maurice), a Jewish clairvoyant who predicted his future (Erik Jan Hanussen), and a Jewish private cook (Marlene von Exner). When the latter was dismissed after her Jewish ancestry became known within Hitler’s circle, Hitler reportedly expressed considerable dissatisfaction and promised, as a parting gesture, to protect her from persecution.

There were even prominent Jews whose services were employed in support of Hitler’s political successes. A notable example is Margherita Sarfatti. She was the daughter of a Jewish banker and, for many years, Mussolini’s mistress, helping to pave the way for his political rise. When Hitler later sought to forge an alliance with Mussolini, the Italian dictator initially kept him at a distance because he strongly disliked him. Only after Sarfatti was enlisted, through Hermann Göring, to influence Mussolini on Hitler’s behalf did Mussolini grant Hitler access, leading to political and military cooperation between the two leaders.

In short, this book adds a new dimension to everything we already knew about Hitler. How many of you were aware of this?

I did not know any of this but it is not surprising to me at all since I grew up Black in the US. I have been around white people my whole life who despise Black people but like or work well with me or other lone Black people. It’s part of an ideology of hate to make exceptions for one or two people. In a way, you become the exception that proves the rule.

That’s a very interesting way of looking at it.

It makes sense: I’ve known people who were saying racist things about other cultures as a whole, but then were perfectly happy to be friends with people from those cultures on a one-to-one basis.
