A friend told me me a week ago that it is possible that Hitler is Jose Rizal's son. I myself would never believe it. But, could anyone here tell me that's it true. If it is, don't you it's ironic that Hitler tried to push his "White Power" ideology only to find out that he himself was not from a 100% "white" race.

Well if there is some kind of an evidence to prove it then maybe I would believe it. I hope there is none so our national hero would not be tainted by Hitler's bad reputation in History. But I sincerely doubt if there is any traceable traits from him to Rizal.

Actually, I read a book which says that Hitler was not really behind the massacre behind the Holocaust. According to the book, German psychiatrist are the ones responsible for initiating the order to kill the Jews and other people subjected to be executed by Hitler's henchmen. Before they would kill their "subjects", they would do experiments with them like testing them for some new biological weapon. I'm not sure if it's true, but its a medical book by the way. I forgot the title. Anyway, I certainly hope that Rizal have nothing to with Hitler.

You do have a point there. Let's just hope that there's not a single strand of Rizal's DNA in Hitler's genes. thanks for posting.

Yup and I think this are just one of those that are what they call as Urban Legends. I have been looking for the website and I seem to have traced the sources of the two posts above and it seems that it came from those that want Rizal's image tarnished. I guess this are just one of those block propaganda's made before he was made a national hero.

Jose Rizal and Adolf Hitler - Photos of Jose Rizal and Adolf Hitler... there is zero resemblance...
I hope someone would finance a DNA test to prove or to disprove this... but then... if Hitler was indeed Jose Rizal's son... then his physical features should show a little of that facial features... and looking at his pictures... i do not see any resemblance to Jose Rizal... This is a very interesting theory... but i don't think a lot of Filipinos would even accept that our national hero gave birth to the greatest tyrant of all time... I uploaded an image of Jose Rizal and Adolf Hitler... and there is no resemblance at all...

I won't argue with that. The only resemblance I can see is the hairstyle. But, come to think of it, during their time it was one of the most common hairstyles among men. lol

I heard that long ago, according to those historian there's a huge possibility about it because Rizal travels a lot and he did a great job with girls!lolz! Anyway, all of these are just speculation and maybe a gossip, there's no proof to back up their theory.
