<br><p>"Was Hitler Jewish?" is a frequently asked question but it is one that requires clarification to answer correctly. In essence, it encompasses two related sub-questions: "did Hitler have Jewish origins/family members?" and "was Hitler himself Jewish?" </p>
<p>To begin with the second question technically, in order to be Jewish, one must be born of a Jewish mother, or convert to Judaism (of course, the Nazis had their own ideas on what made someone a Jew). Hitler was born to a Catholic mother, and obviously never converted to Judaism. During his lifetime he was more or less a lapsed Catholic, at times dabbling in various German pagan-mystic beliefs. Hitler became a vehement racist and anti-Semite, and promoting a vision of the "Jewish threat," he ultimately sought the extermination of the Jewish population of Europe. </p>
