Aim: How did Hitler persecute the Jews?

Hitler Gains Control of Germany

Some theories are:•His mother was reported as having worked as a maid for a wealthy Jewish family. She was fired from that job after becoming pregnant, and it was assumed that the father was the husband of the house. This would make Hitler part Jewish, through the father. •He was mentally ill. •His rejection from art school.

•THERE IS NO REAL PROOF FOR ANY THEORY!!!
