<Reminds me of the way the rich minority are treated today.> In both instances it is theft of property by majority rule and toughest guy wins, but there's a difference between being taxed heavily, which one can avoid by not achieving anything, and being shipped to an extermination camp, which one could not avoid. While I object to heavy taxes and wastrel government spending, I don't put myself in the same category as people being murdered. But your point is right - governments and mobs seem to need a rallying point against something/somebody and it's founded in greed and envy, which derives from the animal world where found wealth is something to be fought for, taken and opposition murdered.

Thanks for the suggestion. Google has the low-down on Adolf's mother's sickness and death, and a LOT more besides: historyplace.com <The next day, Christmas Eve, Hitler and his sisters paid a visit to Dr. Bloch and settled the medical bill. The doctor gave the family a break on the charges considering the many home visits he had made to his patient. Adolf Hitler expressed profound gratitude to the doctor. "I shall be grateful to you forever," Hitler told him. Now, with both parents gone, Hitler once again set his sights on Vienna and the art academy. He moved there in February 1908. But in that beautiful old city things would go quite poorly for Hitler. He would eventually wind up sleeping on park benches and eating at charity soup kitchens. His years of misery in Vienna would also be a time when he formulated many of his ideas on politics and race which would have immense consequences in the future ... > Here is the crux. Adolf was of course not really grateful to the Jewish doctor for giving him useless treatment and then charging like a wounded bull, albeit with a "break on the charges", even if he felt it at the time. So, while his mother was dead and the rich Jew took his money, he gets to sleep on park benches and eat a charity soup kitchen. Plenty of time for reflection on the injustice of the world. I can see some resentment afoot. More clicking at that site and I can see how he formed his ideas: historyplace.com < Hitler took to selling his own paintings to mostly Jewish shop owners and was also assisted by Josef Neumann, a Jew he befriended > Jews had money, he didn't. Envy. Greed. Psychological problems from childhood and the rest is history. Mqurice
