King Herod the Great was hated by the majority of Jews, not only because he was imposed on Judea by conquest, but was also a despised Idumean.
He sought to ingratiate himself with the Jews by worshipping their God while in Jerusalem, but ingratiated himself with the Romans by worshipping the pagan gods while in Caesaria. He rebuilt the Jerusalem temple, which did please many of the Jews.
In later years, the Jews sought to claim Herod as one of their own, because he had built the important coastal city of Caesaria. Although the majority of the Caesarian population was pagan, the Jews hoped that if the Roman emperor agreed to their claim on the city, based on Herod being acknowledged as a Jew, the city could be taken over as a Jewish city.
Answer:
Herod refurbished the Holy Temple at the advice of the Jewish sages (Talmud, Bava Batra 4a), but he also killed many Jewish people (ibid 3b).
One reason was that Herod the Great was not a Jew. His father was an Idumaean (an Edomite), and his mother was an Arab. Also, Herod's excessive brutality was condemned by the religious leaders. Add to this, that Herod was a supporter, and had the backing, of the Romans.

Humayun, Akbar, Jahangir,Shah Jahan mughal emperors who tolerated all religions. Akbar is also known as the tolerant ruler. He never forced anyone in his kingdom to change his religion. He even removed Jazia (tax paid by the hindus for pilgrimage centres).
The Nazi's didn't really associate them with communism and capitilism. It was my understanding that the Germans didn't like the Jewish people because when the world including Germany suffered from the great depression, the Jewish people were able to stay well- off because they owned their own little stores. So the Germans were angry with them and thought that they were the reason every thing was bad with their economy. On the night of broken glass the Germans went to Jewish shops and destroyed them.
No. It is an unsupported claim. Hitler's father, Alois, was registered as an illegitimate child with no father. Alois' mother (Hitler's great- grandmother) worked in the home of a wealthy Jew at the time she got knocked up, which is where the rumor started. There is no scientific or genealogical proof that Hitler was of Jewish descent.
The Great Depression had a huge impact on millions of people. It changed their lives by teaching frugality, patience, and learning to give to others.

His great-great-grandfather, M.H. DeYoung, was Jewish. I don't think his other family members were Jewish.
The Jewish belief in the chosen people influenced the laws to a great extent. They believed in being governed directly by God which is what formed most if their beliefs and laws.
People got killed in the Holocaust because the were Jewish. Hitler (the guy who was behind the whole plan of the Holocaust) blamed the Jewish people for everything like World War 1, , the Great Depression, World War 2.
According to Jewish law, you are only Jewish if you have a Jewish-born mother, or if you convert.So if your great great grandmother was Jewish, and she had a daughter (who was your great grandmother), and she had a daughter (who was your grandmother) and she had a daughter (who was your mother) then you would be Jewish. But your great great grandfather has nothing to do with it.Even under Reform Jewish law, which recognizes you as Jewish if your father is Jewish, they would not recognize "patrilineal descent" past one generation (in other words, you're not Jewish if your father's father was Jewish).
Some people were just blessed with great voices from God and others werent, that's what I think.
