Were any relatives of Hitler Jewish?
ANSWER PERSON RESPONDS: Although I’ve heard the common story that one of his grandparents was Jewish, this is apparently just a legend. See the following article: “Hitler’s Family Secret: A file recovered from the Nazi Archives tells of a Gestapo investigation into the Fuehrer’s murky family history” by Ben S. Swearingen, in *Civilization: The Magazine of the Library of Congress* Vol. 2, No. 2, Mar/Apr 1995, pp. 54-55. Online through Academic Search Elite or in bound periodicals at C582x.
