Also the Final Solution was pushed upon him by these people. He used the rich Jewish community as a scapegoat during elections. This then snowballed into an evil thing, take their money for the war effort, etc... Hitler had never really intended to wipe them out though, that was more to do with the sick machinations of his backroom staff.
But he has some severe "short man" syndrome. I mean he was partly Jewish, 5 foot nothing and dark haired and he got to rant about tall, blonde Aryans...
