This thread examines the roots of antisemitism in Germany before and in the time of Hitler and how a Sanskrit word was hijacked to hide the dirty secret of Christianity i.e. Nazis and the christian connection. Let's begin.

Most western societies would lead you to believe that Hitler hated Jews solely on his "Aryan supremacy" doctrine and everything before him was hunky dory in Germany.

But let's take a peek at the history of antisemitism and how it was rooted in the Christianity of the nation.

Martin Luther in 1543 wrote this.

Was he the only one? Not by a long shot. Immanuel Kant wrote this in 1798 describing evils of jews.

George Hegel wrote this asking jews why don't they just leave the world?

Herder asks why don't they just become Christians? Sounds familiar?

Finally, after centuries of antisemitism, it was hardly a shocker that the nazis were so successful in Germany. Now, let's see how Hitler chose Hakencruez as his party's symbol.

Before going further, I'm posting a symbol of another part from Czechoslovakia which can be termed as predecessor of Nazi party. Does it look familiar? It should be.

There's literally no indication that Hitler or nazis were aware about the Hakenkreuz or its similarity with the dharmik Swastika. For them it was just cross.

We can debate the Christian angle of the nazis all day long but I think this image makes the connection clear.
