Title: Why the Holocaust Happened
Description: This is the first and only work that recognizes that the Holocaust wouldn't have happened if Hitler had not wanted it to happen; and that then scours through all of the written and all of the reliably transcribed statements of Hitler, from his earliest to his last will and testament, so as to identify how he personally viewed the Holocaust, and whether and when and why he came up with the intention or perhaps even the plan to do it. What is reported here is that he came up with the theory behind the Holocaust in the Fall of 1919 when he first entered politics. He searched at that time within "The Bible -- Monumental History of Mankind," in order to find the source of "original sin," and he went to Genesis 3 and interpreted it in the ordinary New Testament way, which (in accord with Matthew 23:31-38, John 8:44, Revelation 20:1-7, and other passages) equated "the Jew" with the snake or Satan: he concluded then that original sin came from the snake, so that the father of all Jews caused it. 

For many years, Hitler had tried without success to find the source of a painful ailment he suffered, and he tried physicians, and even leeches to remove what he thought might be poisons in his blood, but all to no avail. Finally, giving up on doctors' help, he concluded then that God must be punishing him for his share in original sin. (He thought himself to be a good Christian, so that God must be punishing him only for this.) There had been a legend in the town where he grew up, saying that he was the illegitimate son of a certain Jew; he actually was not, but he never knew that. He now concluded that the only way he could expiate his "poisoned blood" from the snake would be to exterminate all Jews, so he entered politics in order to do that and establish (Revelation 20:1-7) a "Thousand-Year Reich" in which pureblooded Christians or "Aryans" would rule the world for a thousand years, because all of the snake's toxic blood would have been eliminated from the Earth.

A good summary of this book is at http://hwarmstrong.com/why-the-holacaust.htm. As that summary makes clear, the reason why the anti-Semitic passages are in the New Testament is that the New Testament was written by followers of Paul, who had never met Jesus, and who, starting in the year 49 or 50 (when the surviving letters from him started to be written by him), had actually become inimical to the Jewish sect that Jesus had started and that Paul was trying to extend to Gentiles. Paul's followers represented Paul and his hostility toward Jews, and did not represent Jesus. None of them ever had met nor heard Jesus. But of course, Hitler never knew that. To him the Bible was the "Monumental History of Mankind." And that's why the Holocaust happened -- that, and Hitler's malady, of course, plus his misconception that the source of his malady was "poisoned blood" inherited from a Jew.
