Doesn’t change the many PUBLIC pronouncements that Hitler made to the Nazi’s and the German people that cited “the blood upon the Cross” as the reason to hate and kill the Jews.

What reason do pagans have for hating Jews? Their book (not that they have one) doesn’t call Jews God’s chosen people, neither was their titular head killed by any sort of Jewish actions; those are the #1 and #2 reasons that antisemitic Christians hate Jews.

Why would a pagan hate a Jew?

Ask the Jews.

Persecution of Jews by Roman Pagans

* 70: The Roman Army destroyed Jerusalem, killed over 1 million Jews and took about 100,000 into slavery and captivity.

* 113: Jews in Cyprus, Cyrene, Egypt and Mesopotamia revolted against the Roman Empire. This caused "the death of several hundreds of thousands of Romans and Jews." Judaism was no longer recognized as a legal religion.

* 132: Bar Kochba led a hopeless three-year revolt against the Roman Empire. Many Jews had accepted him as the Messiah. About a half-million Jews were killed; thousands were sold into slavery or taken into captivity. The rest were exiled from Palestine and scattered throughout the known world in what is called the "Diaspora."

* 135: Serious Roman persecution of the Jews began. They were forbidden, upon pain of death, from practicing circumcision, reading the Torah, eating unleavened bread at Passover, etc. A temple dedicated to the Roman pagan god Jupiter was erected on temple mountain in Jerusalem. A temple of Venus was built on Golgotha, just outside the city.

* 200: Roman Emperor Severus forbade religious conversions to Judaism.

Next question?

If you read much of Hitlers writings you would know that he respected the power of Christianity as Christianity had been able to overcome the weaker Norse/Germanic paganism. This is also why Hitler wasn't nearly as enamoured with Nordic paganism as Himmler was.

This doesn't mean Hitler liked Christianity, he respected it for its power to overcome Norse/Germanic paganism while simultaneously despised it as being soft. When studying the occult aspects of Nazism, you will find that considerable energy was spent by the Nazis digging into non-Nordic paganism in search of Aryan knowledge and powers missing in Nordic paganism that the Nazis intended to introduce into their Norse-Nazi hybrid.
