I think Hitler himself as a truly evil person probably came later. ( even after Mien Kampf..
I would agree with that, but his trajectory was becoming clear as early as highschool. It may not have gone as far if he'd had other influences, but it would still have been the same general direction.
It is a reoccurring theme for mankind that we start with a reasonable idea and then take it to an unreasonable extreme.
a group who has a pattern of subversion and exploitation
I am pretty sure that statement can be said of any group that has ever existed.
It's human nature to look out for our own, and I really don't fault them for it.

I think Hitler himself as a truly evil person probably came later. ( even after Mien Kampf which was a much heated criticism of Jewish peoples in the Wiemar Republic and a criticism well deserved. Also not the first book of its kind to be written) I do believe he was very susceptible to more insidious ideologies that came as he surrounded himself with the likes of Goebbels, Himmler and others. I don't think he originally had genocidal desires and was probably rather easily swayed in opinion by those he trusted; unfortunately, those he trusted especially Himmler worked hard to drive the genocide and other evils. I'm not trying to stick up for Hitler in any way and the actions performed during the war and at an even greater level toward the end are not excusable at all; but, his questioning of certain institutions was nothing new even Martin Luther wrote a book called "The Jews and Their Lies" and other authors posed similar questions in other works throughout centuries. Those facts and the fact the Jews have been expelled numerous times throughout history doesn't make me see just an unfairly back luck group of people; but rather, a group who has a pattern of subversion and exploitation the populace eventually wakes up to.
