Hitler contracted syphilis from a Jew prostitute, and this could have led to the Holocaust

A brief encounter with a Jewish prostitute may have led to Hitler’s genocidal Holocaust, claim psychiatrists.

…

According to a report, mental and behavioural disturbances triggered by the advanced stages of the disease could have resulted in Hitler targeting Jews and the mentally retarded.

There is “ample circumstantial evidence” for the theory, according to a team headed by psychiatrist Dr Bassem Habeeb.

He said: “If Hitler’s life is looked at through the lens of a syphilis diagnosis, one clue leads to another until a pattern of infection and progressive infection emerges, a disease that may have defined him from youth as an outsider and that progressively ravaged his body and mind.” [ Did Hitler unleash the Holocaust because a Jewish prostitute gave him syphilis? ]

That’s interesting. I was very disturbed when I saw the The Pianist in which the German soldiers treat the Jews as if they are insects. Considering the kind of cruelties perpetrated at that time, and with so much vehemence and hatred, did an entire portion of the German population contract syphilis? I don’t think he personally raped and killed and scalded people or peeled off their skin; the others did. I think there was something deeper than a disease. It was something like a mass-demonization.
