Hitler: The Pathology Of Evil

I'm reading this book called Hitler: The Pathology of Evil 

Here's what I know so far:

Hitlers grandmother was knocked up by someone (no one is really sure who that is).  He has been believed to have been Jewish. However, there was never any proof to that story, but enough speculation that most people believed it to be true.

Hitlers father was so determined to be successful because he had no father i.e no inheritance. He was greedy, abusive and selfish. He wanted his sons to follow in his footsteps and become officers of the civil service. He beat his children (especially Hitler) and their mother. Hitler blamed his fathers behavior on the speculation of him being half Jewish. Hitlers mother treated him like an invalid and indulged his every whim. He was by far her favorite. When she eventually died of cancer, Hitler blamed his father and his supposed Jewish decent. 

I started reading this book in hopes to understand where hate comes from and why people hate.  But the more i read the more ridiculous it gets. Hitler believed that his father was Jewish and that is what caused his evil behavior. Not only has that never been proved, but what gets me is what gave him a reason to blame the Jewish race? Why not Austrian? 

So although the book has begun to explain to me Hitlers circumstances, there is still no logical reason for Hitlers evil ways. I do believe that hate is taught/learned. No one is born hating. Babies cant help but love and children don't even realize that people are different colors until it is pointed out to them. 

Ahhh, to have child-like faith and innocence.  How amazing would the world be if children ruled?? there would be no war and no hate. only love. Ever watch children at the park? They instantly bond and declare everlasting friendships, even if they only last for that afternoon. Then imagination takes over and they are flying to the moon and going to the center of the earth to battle dragons. When do we lose that faith and trust? When do we start to take ourselves so seriously? 

Children love unconditionally and with out question. It is adults that teach them different. In most case we do not do so intentionally, but children see and hear more then we think or expect them to.  And they understand way more then we give them credit for. 

The Holocaust has shaped the world in a way. When I think of Jews i think, Holocaust, Hitler, and genocide. I can see the pictures in my head. I lost my child like faith long before i discovered that book, but i knew even then that i would never look at the world the same. I couldn't understand how some one could hate so indefinitely and so completely. Even today ten years later I can't understand. The world sees the Holocaust and all to often doesn't realize that the Holocaust wasn't the first nor the last Genocide to occur. I guess that's my point, the world needs to know that blind evil hate still runs ramp id in the world today. What can we do to stop it?
