ABSTRACT
Anti-Semitism was an integral part of Adolf Hitler's political philosophy, which permeated everything associated with Nazism. After Second World War, Hans Frank, the Nazis’ top lawyer and governor general of the Holocaust's principal killing ground, the General Government, wrote in his prison memoirs, Im Angeschicht des Galgens, that in the early 1930s Hitler asked him to investigate the rumors about his Jewish roots. In time, Hitler came to despise Vienna and Austria and decided to move to Munich and Germany; prompting the move was a sizeable inheritance from his father's estate and an attempt to avoid Austrian military service. First World War was a “godsend” for Adolf Hitler. While Weimar politicians worked on the new constitution, the Allied powers put the finishing touches to the controversial Treaty of Versailles. Hitler later called it a “Diktat” and an “instrument of boundless extortion and abject humiliation” for the German people.
