TIL Hitler saved 1 Jew from the Holocaust: a doctor who treated his mother for cancer
Imagine being hitlers favorite Jew. It’d be terrifying.
The doctor treating his mother happened earlier in history than I expected:
*In 1907, Hitler’s mother, Klara Hitler, was diagnosed with breast cancer. She died on 21 December after intense suffering involving daily medication with iodoform, a foul-smelling and painful corrosive treatment typically used at the time and administered by Bloch. Because of the poor economic situation of the Hitler family, Bloch charged reduced prices, sometimes taking no fee at all. The then 18-year-old Hitler granted him his “everlasting gratitude” for this*
> Despite the obvious affection Hitler showed to Bloch, historian Rudolph Binion believes that he was one of the contributing factors to Hitler’s antisemitism that later resulted in the Holocaust.
I don’t understand this part, and there’s no further explanation. Why would this man whom he chose to protect have contributed to his antisemitism?
Should this be called “saving” or “sparing”?
Fuck you, fuck you, fuck you…you’re cool…fuck you, fuck you, fuck you….
This Hitler dude must have been a really cool guy to have saved people from Hitler, not as cool as the guy who killed Hitler though.
Who doesn’t love a feel good Hitler story.
Incorrect. Hitler saved a couple Jews from the Holocaust. Those are the doctor mentioned here, but also included his former commanding officer in the German Army during WW1.

Another was a little girl named Rosa Nienau who Hitler personally called his “dear little sweetheart”. Rosa did not survive the war, sadly, though not due to the Holocaust. She passed away due to Polio. It’s interesting in Rosa’s case, to note that Hitler is said to have commented that he loved having the little girl visit his estate the Berghoff, until as he put it “some busybody with nothing better to do, found she was not of pure Aryan descent.” Sure, it’s Hitler, but you can’t help but chuckle at picturing the annoyance in the statement.
Hes real life anakin skywalker
Spared, not saved.
He also saved hundreds more who were World War 1 veterans.
“And whoever saves a life of Israel, it is considered as if he saved an entire world.”
*Except Hitler*
This wasn’t the only Jew Hitler had a positive relationship with. Believe it or not, the soldier who recommended Hitler for a Iron Cross during World War I was Jewish. His name was Hugo Gutmann. Though he lost his German citizenship after the Nazis came to power, Hitler made sure he still got a pension for his service in the war.

Seems like Hitler was a believer in “Scratch my back, I’ll scratch yours”,
Probably another bit of evidence for the possibility that while Hitler was incredibly evil, he was not strictly speaking a psychopath or incapable of empathy. Arguably that makes him much worse.
Between this and killing Hitler, what a swell guy!
/S
Bender: “All those times I said “Kill all humans,” I’d always whisper “except one”.”
He saved him from being shipped off to a death camp. When Gobbels angrily asked why he was to be spared he replied “**I** decide who is a Jew”. Supposedly Hitler was angry with Gobbels for weeks.
Fookin’ hero
Did Hitler really pull a “yOU’rE nOT LiKE oThER JeWiSH PeOPLE”
Idk if saved is the right word
“spared” is the word you were looking for.
Somehow Hitler being a hypocrite makes the holocaust just that much worse.
“See I’m not racist, I have a Jew friend!”
We should put up a statue of him because he also killed Hitler
Confirmed; the same guy who killed Hitler also saved a Jew. Oy what a mench!
