He wasn't Jewish. There were rumors that his mother was the illegitimate daughter of her mother's Jewish employer, but no serious scholars believe this. The most popular rumour is that his paternal grandfather was a Jew ... but serious scholars think it is an urban legend.

He had a Roman Catholic upbringing, so he should have known. However, at the time the Roman Catholic church in Austria was anti-Jewish, so it wouldn't have stressed the fact that Christ was a Jew.

No Hitler had no Jewish ancestry


Was Hitler himself a Jew?

No, that is just a myth, Hitler was not Jewish.AnswerNot necessarily true. Even Hitler didn't know for sure; he suspected that he had Jewish blood. His father's birth was recorded as illegitimate; his father's mother had left her job as a housekeeper in a Jewish household because she was pregnant with Hitler's father. As in many things, Hitler did not feel the need to comply with the strict rules for Nazi membership for showing proof of non-Jewish ancestry. He simply avoided any scrutiny of his ancestry.

Why did Adolf Hitler consider him self a German if he was Jewish?

Answer 1Because Hitler was NOT Jewish.One can be German AND Jewish. Hitler was Austrian anyway....While it is wholly possible to be German and Jewish or Austrian and Jewish, Hitler was Austrian and NOT Jewish. There is a rumor that he was Jewish, but there is no support to this rumor.Answer 2Whether Adolf Hitler was Jewish or not; it is to be recognized that it is the nationality to be German or not German while it is the faith to be Jewish or not Jewish. One can be German or Austrian while he/she is Christian, Jewish, or Muslim. One should not mix between nationality and religious faith.
