People who were interested in knowing---KNEW. I was--LONG AGO---a child. When I was a child there was lots of that "WHO KNEW?" BS going on (1950-60s)---believe it or not---it centered around the film "DIARY OF ANNE FRANK" which came to the single movie theater in my town----almost immediately after it was made---because one of the actors was local to that VERY WASP town. There were people who OBJECTED----they, simply, did not want that stuff shoved down their throats-----stuff about which they NEVER KNEW BEFORE AND DID NOT WANT TO KNOW---EVER. I asked my mom---"when did you know"? She told me about what she heard from family and locals -----She told me of specifics she
heard circa 1936 when she was 16----. My grandfather was functionally illiterate and my grandmother was "EDUCATED"--to the 8th grade----but THEY KNEW IN DETAIL----last letters-----hysterical efforts to GET THEM OUT. They knew. If they knew-----it was no secret
It is a tragic irony that the Zionists were more interested in how to steal Palestine than save Jewish lives:
“If I knew that it was possible to save all the children of Germany by transporting them to England, and only half by transferring them to the Land of Israel, I would choose the latter, for before us lies not only the numbers of these children but the historical reckoning of the people of Israel.”

I’ve been engaged in a long-term e-mail debate with anti-Zionists, associated with David McReynolds, a former leader of the War Resisters’ League and a tiny remnant that still calls itself the Socialist Party, USA. Seth Farber, one of the most vociferous (although not quite the nastiest) of my...

Additionally, you forgot to mention the many non Communist Jews who who stayed in Germany, served in Hitler's military(1) and were even high ranking National Socialist party members. (2)
As you may know, Hitler's Jewish driver stayed in Germany as did Hitler's Jewish doctor.
In addition to the Jewish friends Hitler knew in Vienna's art world, he shared the same birthday as a young Jewish girl who was a "Pen Pal" (3)
It seems rather obvious that Hitler didn't hate all Jews but, like most Europeans of the era, feared the threat of Communism which had a leadership that was 80% Jewish. (4)
In 1942, Chaim Weizmann, President of the World Jewish Congress and later president of Israel declared that the Jewish people were: "....the Trojan horses in the enemy's fortress." in a "... war is our war and that it is waged for the liberation of Jewry" (5) which led to the enmity and subsequent persecution of even non Communist Jews.
I am not trying to excuse the persecution of Europe's Jews but only to examine its roots and clarify Hitler's true sentiments toward the non Communist Jews in his life.

EXCERPT "The little girl was portrayed as Adolf Hitler’s favorite.
They shared the same birthday, April 20. She called him Uncle Hitler and was known as “the Führer’s child.” At a time when the Nazi leader was being presented to the world as a kindly figure, his personal photographer frequently snapped pictures of the two them holding hands, exchanging kisses on the cheek or just smiling at each other. Hitler refused to cut off contact with the girl even after he was told she had a Jewish grandmother." CONTINUED

Speaking at Moscow’s Jewish Museum, Russian president says politicians 'were guided by false ideological considerations'

EXCERPT "Russian President Vladimir Putin said that at least 80 percent of the members of the first Soviet government were Jewish.

"We are not denying and are not afraid to confess that this war is our war and that it is waged for
the liberation of Jewry... Stronger than all fronts together is our front, that of Jewry. We are not
only giving this war our financial support on which the entire war production is based, we are not
only providing our full propaganda power which is the moral energy that keeps this war going.
The guarantee of victory is predominantly based on weakening the enemy forces, on destroying
them in their own country, within the resistance. And we are the Trojan horses in the enemy's
fortress. Thousands of Jews living in Europe constitute the principal factor in the destruction of our enemy. There, our front is a fact and the most valuable aid for victory."
- Chaim Weizmann,
President of the World Jewish Congress, Head of the Jewish Agency and later President of
Israel, in a Speech on December 3, 1942, in New York.
