Adolf Hitler had Jewish, African ancestors, show DNA tests
Tue, Aug 24 12:04 PM
London, Aug 24 (IANS) Nazi leader Adolf Hitler possibly had Jewish as well as African ancestors - communities whom he had pledged to exterminate, new DNA tests have revealed.
Daily Express Tuesday reported that samples taken from Hitler's relatives link him to both the -Jewish community and people from North Africa.
Jean-Paul Mulders, a journalist, was able to investigate Hitler's DNA after he managed to lay his hands on a serviette dropped by the dictator's great-nephew Alexander Stuart-Houston who lives in New York. A serviette is a small square of cloth or paper used while eating to protect the clothes, wipe the mouth and hand.
He got a second sample from an Austrian cousin of Hitler, a farmer known as Norbert H, the media report said.
The DNA tests threw up a startling result.
It revealed a form of the Y-chromosome that is rare in Germany and the rest of Western Europe, but common among Jewish and North African groups.
Experts now think that Hitler had migrant relatives who settled in his homeland.
Mulders said both the test samples had a form of genetic material known as Haplop group E1b1b, proving an 'irrefutable link' to the Nazi leader.
'It is most commonly found in the Berbers of Morocco, in Algeria, Libya and Tunisia, as well as among Ashkenazi and Sephardic Jews. One can from this postulate that Hitler was related to people whom he despised,' the Belgian journalist was quoted as saying.
Ronny Decorte, a genetic specialist in Belgium, said: 'Hitler would not have been pleased about this.
'Race and blood was central in the world of the Nazis. Hitler's concern over his descent was not unjustified. He was apparently not 'pure' or 'Aryan'.'

Samsung Corby Plus
It was lightly drizzling and there is cool breeze… it’s Saturday, and after office got over, Raj took me to Poorvika for getting me a mobile…
That small shop is loaded with nearly fifty people… everyone selecting their favorite mobiles… the sales person show as many models and none inspired me… I said no to all the models shown… at last Raj lost his patience and he selected and bought me his favourite one – the Samsung Corby Plus… I don’t like as it has touch screen and qwerty keyboard.
Whenever I doesn’t like some thing Raj likes it a lot… we both were different extremes and don’t have anything in common except for the love we had on each other. I kept my face like a GEM (Ginger Eating Monkey) : - ( and kept silent. I never uttered him a word while he was putting bill and waiting for the memory card to be loaded with songs… I saw a kid running here and there when his parents are choosing mobiles. At last when their purchase is over they are offered with a Tiffin box, key chains, mobile accessories and a smiley ball.
This smiley ball in yellow color attracted me more than the new Samsung Corby Plus. I asked Raj to get me that… he started laughing and told you are not a child and I wont get it to you.. I kept my face like crying and told that I want it for sure… he looked at me angrily and went to pay the bill.
Hmmm... I thought its over and he won’t get me that… after the mobile is packed and all the formalities over, Raj slowly asked the sales person “Is this smiley ball for sale?” the sales person said no and offered us two balls instead of one… I was very happy to see those balls.. Raj told with a wishful smile to the sales person that the ball is for my baby… the sales person asked how many year old is your baby… Raj suddenly told 24 years old : - ) you know what, he meant me only :- ) and after getting the ball he did all tricks to made me laugh… I laughed like a child non stop on that day… I have no words to thank god to give such a wonderful man to me as my better half…
