    No. He was brought up as a catholic and practised his own version of "positive Christianity".

    No -- while there have been internet rumors about a grandparent who was Jewish, these have been debunked.

    From everything I looked up on the internet the idea comes from a book
    "Adolf Hitler, Founder of Israel" by Hennecke Kardel, a German born in 1922 –
    Claiming his mother was a Jew and a whore and he hated her for it.

    Hitler was raised as a Catholic. What he was later in his life, was a twisted bunch of narcissistic self-indulgence to whatever he liked to believe and thought was right.

    I have watched some reputable documentary's on this and more. I don't think he had any jewish in him, but there is ton's of proof and even his own soldier buddy (before he had great power) reported him for being gay.

    I would be very worried of a school teacher who did not know better.

    Because of budget cuts my girlfriend who is a teacher was required to learn how to play instruments, teach gym, know school law and special needs, including all the regular curriculum schools offer. We are Canadians and maybe that is not the case here, but I never expect a teacher to know all the facts pertaining to the lessons they are forced to teach. Anyway I'm going back to bed, my daughter woke me up when she fell out of her's and bumped her head. Scared the crap out of me!
