Destroying The Grave Of Hitler's Parents

In 2012 a shocking news story hit the world as it had emerged that Adolf Hitler's parents gravestone had been removed and destroyed following the end of the lease of the grave. Alois Hitler was Adolf's father, and he died in 1903 and was then buried inside of the grave in Leonding. But then following the death of Hitler's mother Klara, she was also interred alongside Alois her husband.
But later the gravesite of Hitler's parents became a place of pilgrimage and Adolf Hitler himself visited many different times even when he was the Dictator of Nazi Germany. However some have said that his mother would turn in her grave if she knew what became of her son, but what is the story with the destruction of Hitler's parents grave?

Although they are Not responsible for what Hitler did. Having a marker or their bodies buried there was causing too much trouble because of neo Nazis as he said in the video, so it makes sense to remove it in order to stop that and the bodies so there's nothing there anymore for neo Nazis to visit.

In 1906 Klara Hitler would notice a lump on her breast. She chose to ignore it. This would prove to be a fatal mistake. It wasn’t until January of 1907 that she chose to seek medical attention from the family doctor, Dr Bloch, after developing severe pain in her chest. His prognosis was grim with only a sliver of hope if she were to get a mastectomy. The Hitler’s, Adolf included, agreed. “[Adolf Hitler’s] long, sallow face was contorted. Tears flowed from his eyes. Did his mother, he asked, have no chance?” - Doctor Bloch Tragically, the surgery only revealed more devastating news. Her cancer had metastasized. Hitler, who had been living in Vienna at the time, returned home. For the next few months, Hitler became her caretaker. He would cook, clean, and sleep in a chair beside her bed just in case she required anything. “The face of the boy was streaked with tears, and his eyes were tired and red. He listened until I had finished speaking. He has but one question. In a choked voice he asked: "Does my mother suffer?"” - Dr Bloch, Despite her terminal condition Dr Bloch suggested a final treatment option. There was an experimental form of chemotherapy known as iodoform. Adolf agreed. Every day iodoform soaked gauze would be applied to her incisions in an attempt to burn away cancer cells. The treatment left her in excruciating pain and unable to swallow. “An anguished grimace would come over him when he saw pain contract her face. There was little that could be done. An injection of morphine from time to time would give temporary relief; but nothing lasting. Yet Adolf seemed enormously grateful even for these short periods of release.” - Dr Bloch Klara Hitler would quietly pass away the night of December 20th, 1907. Hitler was griefstricken. It would be hours before he allowed the neighbours to remove her body as he sat by her bedside sketching her. “In all my career I have never seen anyone so prostrate with grief as Adolf Hitler.” - Dr Bloch Adolf was 18 at the time of her death. "I shall be grateful to you forever." - Adolf Hitler’s parting words to Dr Bloch As is often pointed out, Dr Bloch was Jewish. Hitler would go on to refer to him as the “noble Jew” and personally exempted him from a majority of the discrimination that others in Germany faced. This included keeping his license and money when he moved to America. As a personal consequence, Hitler would go on to develop a fear of cancer. Believing that eating meat, alcohol, and smoking were all major contributors. As chancellor of Germany, he led one of the largest anti-smoking campaigns of that time and often encouraged those around him to quit. Hitler would carry a photo of his mother until his own death on April 30th, 1945.

[@genosho5574]

I'm a german funeral director. Graves here are not eternal, they're usually rented. Usually graves of historical relevance get granted eternal lease. With this one I think the cemeteries authority was quite glad to get rid of. I can tell you however that even with the removal of the gravestone their remains have surely not been removed. If the grave got a fresh lease, their remains got simply moved deeper in the same grave. Nobody get's thrown away here. Not in germany, nor in austria.

Hi mate, thanks for this! Thanks for clearing this up.

[@JJ12502]

Who will destroy gravestone of my family and others?

[@elzaaltmann]

Same with my great great grandfather in Holland. Once fees were not paid.......

[@martinstock]

@@JJ12502 There is the option to renew the lease of the grave. If the lease is not renewed the one who made the last rental contract has to clear the grave (above surface, i.e. removing the gravestone and plants). This person could even keep the gravestone and put it up in the garden or elsewhere. But this is not common. If this person asks a company to remove it - they will do it most practically. If it is a larger gravestone which was put up on a casted concrete foundation it is difficult to remove it in one piece (it wasn't delivered in one piece either). Thus they will most likely disassemble (destroy) the gravestone to remove it. But it is of course possible to do this differently if someone pays for the extra effort.

At least those people are already dead. I think its MUCH worse to make people dig thier own Graves, murder entire villages, burn people alive, force people into gas chambers, starve people to death etc.. While grave desecration is horrible and continues to be a trauma for the decendants of those whose graves were destroyed, especially for those that were forced to help in the destruction (example - using the grave stones of a nearby Jewish cemetery to pave the road at Plazow) there are worse things that can happen to you.

Stalin was pretty shitty but ultimately he was less destructive on his own. Whereas Hitler was ideologically driven, Stalin just wanted to be a playboy with a big house, nice food, and whoever knows how many whores. A lot of the death under the Soviet Union can't be attributed to just Stalin; his fellows and subordinates were responsible for a bunch of it. However, in the case of Nazi Germany, Hitler personally ordered many of the repressions and killings of civilians, and arguably put the entire thing in motion (whereas Stalin owed a lot to fellow Bolsheviks).

In my area, you buy a plot and when you die, you are buried there. There is no lease or continued payments. A cemetary groundskeeper mows and weeds the graveyard and families can put things on the grave. You see American flags, Texas flags, confederate flags, Irish flags, little toys, rocks, flowers, plants in planters attached to the headstone. I can’t wrap my head around having to continue to pay a lease on a grave.

[@lindaoneil5085]

This is necessary in some countries that are overcrowded and living space is at a premium. Having plenty of space to bury the dead is not a problem in the US, but many European countries and Latin American countries lease grave plots for x number of years. Once the lease has expired, if the family cannot or will not renew the lease, the remains are exhumed to make room for a new occupant. The previous remains are disposed of in a common grave. In Germany, the lease on my maternal grandparents' graves recently expired, and my Tante Hilde renewed the lease for another 30 years.

[@WyattRyeSway]

@@lindaoneil5085 …I never thought of that. I live in Texas so land is in abundance. In the eastern US, in the original 13 colonies, large cities like NYC, Boston, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Providence etc have a premium on space too. I wonder what they do? I figured they buried a person and it was theirs for all time (given the really old grave markers, that’s what I think but could be wrong). Interesting the way different cultures have to do different things. Thanks for taking the time to answer.

[@bettycaudill3299]

That's what happened with his sister. She was buried near his retreat. Then when no one paid the rent on it someone else was buried on top of her grave.

In Europe, because of the limited space, graves are generally recycled. By law (in Germany), a grave can be reused after 30 years, either by the family who owns the grave plot, or anyone who purchases it. Burials are always in wooden caskets and bodies are not embalmed,so after 30 years, there isn’t much left. I worked as a back-hoe operator for a small German construction company and my side job was gravedigger. The only things I ever dug up from a 30+ year-old grave were the casket metal fittings and an occasional rib bone.

[@GeeB1]

You don't embalm the bodies in Europe? Really?

[@Nick_B_Bad]

That’s just plain wrong.

[@SDD3204]

Nothing strange at all. This is normal in Germany and Austria. It is quite normal for the memorial and remains to be very well cared for for a generation or two and then be removed after a time unless someone pays rent for the plot. See other YT videos which indicate that the majority of Nazis remains have now gone the same way.. What I do find a bit odd is that the oval memorial was not installed straight!

[@Jean-rg4sp]

Some Christians take the words of their fourth-century Nicene literally and would consider the treatment of mortal remains such as happens in Austria and The Netherlands as a blasphemy by implying a heresy in the words: *we look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. Amen.*

[@JS-wp4gs]

No it isn't normal at all

[@Jean-rg4sp]

What about the Christian belief in "the resurrection of the body" in the last days, I wonder. I quoted the Nicene Creed in a previous comment but it got removed for some reason.

[@MarvinHartmann452]

This is normal since they want to remove all traces of native European people, I'm sure Arab and African tombs will be left alone.

Thank you for sharing this video. Very sad that someone would even think of disturbing the grave. Hopefully they were reburied with dignity. Very disturbing that they were allegedly dug up 🤔 It's important to keep your morals no matter what occurs. It's not easy as we're all confronted during our lifetime with difficult moral decisions. Thank you for sharing. God bless 🙏

[@gunterangel]

Actually only the tombstone and gravemarker were removed. The bodily remains itself, if there are any left after a rest of nearly 120 years, were left undisturbed. It is only that their resting place is now anonym, so that neo-nazi-"pilgrims" have no goal for "pilgrimages" anymore.

[@keithwald5349]

I've read what appeared to be legit journalism pieces about the remaining descendants of hitler (I don't capitalize it). If I recall correctly, he had a couple of grand nephews - or something like that - living in the US, at least into the 2000's. They had evidently changed their surnames (of course!) and I think chose to end the family line with themselves. Of course I don't know for sure if it's completely factual, but it's interesting to think about. That man rightly holds a special place in the history of monsters.

[@HowieHoward-ti3dx]

Well read The Bad War and you will see who really the evil monster was. Not Hitler!

[@codemancz798]

They're not his descendants, Hitler never had any children. They are however descendants of his brother.

Just Google "Hitler's relatives". A brother had two sons to two different women. A sister had two daughters and one son.

For the creator of this video: The Nazi party under Adolf Hitler adopted a symbol that became infamous for its association with tyranny, genocide, and hatred. This symbol, known as the Hakenkreuz (German for "hooked cross"), was a modified version of a hooked cross that appears in various cultures. It's important to understand that the Hakenkreuz is distinct from the Swastika, a sacred symbol in Hinduism, representing peace, prosperity and well-being. Conflating these two symbols is deeply offensive to Hindus, a community with a long history of persecution yet a continued commitment to peace. It's crucial to respect the distinctions between these symbols and recognize the harm caused by misrepresenting the Swastika.

[@thesemyths3597]

'Lay' is the past tense of 'lie' and is commonly used incorrectly in American idiom. And the plural of Hitler is Hitlers, not Hitler's, as it is not possessive. Therefore the subheading at 08:34 should read 'Do the Hitlers still lie inside?'.

It is European tradition to re-use graves. After a lease is up, a new grave is dug. Any remains are set aside. After the new grave is completed, a small hole is dug in the bottom, and any previous remains are placed there, to remain after the new coffin is placed. After over 100 years, there eill be very little left of a previous person.

[@daver8521]

Yes, but there is usually an option to purchase the grave in perpetuity if the family can afford it.

Most graves in Europe end up this way they are rented and when no one pays the rent up you come and are disposed of most people are buried in the town’s cemetery where relatives can walk to leave flowers or say a prayer but after a while no one remembers them and the rent payments stop the population in Europe is rather dense so farmland is important and no one has these private cemeteries where supposedly your body will stay forever but even in America most are eventually abandoned many family graves in the country are just plowed over when the property is sold and the land is needed remember in Europe 500 years is a little while back and most villages are thousands of years old
