Adolf Hitler's hatred of Jews may stem from his errant belief that his mother was poisoned to death by a Jewish doctor, the author of a new book about the Nazi dictator claims.
In "November 9: How World War One Led To The Holocaust," author Joachim Riecker writes that the death of his mother, Klara, who was diagnosed with breast cancer, left an indelible mark on the then-18-year-old Adolf.
Klara's doctor, Eduard Bloch, had administered iodoform, which was the standard treatment for breast cancer at the time. She would die from the treatment in 1907, when she was just 47 years old.
"Hitler never forgave the Jewish doctor," Riecker told the British newspaper The Telegraph. "In conversations with aides such as Josef Goebbels he referred to the Jews as being like TB and himself as a 'healer' who had to stamp it, and consequently them, out."
