RIZAL-HITLER-ZEDONG CONTROVERSY

Mitschek, Ariane B.BSE-ENG2A

Do you see any resemblance?

ADOLF HITLER – SON OF JOSE RIZAL?

• The argument is that Rizal had a German connection: He studied in Heidelberg University, and being the Pinoy Don Juan he probably sired a son (why not a daughter?) who turned out to be Adolf Hitler.

• This rumor began circulating because of an educational film about Nazism and World War II. In it, a framed photo of Rizal was found hanging on Hitler’s bunker.

• This poses the question, “Was Hitler a fan of our national hero or was it something more?”

Manuel Quezon III had his research and got the following facts, first about Hitler:

1) Adolf Hitler was born on April 20, 1889 (that means he could have been conceived sometime in August 1888), in the little village of Braunau, near the German- Austrian border.

2) He was born an Austrian until the 1930s.

3) The name of Hitler's mother was Klara Polzl.

4) At one time, she was a maid in Vienna.

5) Hitler always considers a town Linz, in Austria as his hometown (on his Political Testament he referred to " my hometown of Linz on the Danube").

• 6) Hitler's oldest brother, Gustav born on May 17, 1885, and his sister Ida, born in 1886, both died before he was born.

7) Bavaria was considered the "cradle" of Nazism.

8) The Nazis made Japan one of the Axis powers. At one point they tried to prove that the Japanese were Aryans, to make the Japanese members of the "master race."

Now combine those with some facts of Rizal's life below:

1) On February 1, 1886, he left Paris for Germany. He went to Heidelberg, Wilhelmsfeld, Munich (in Bavaria), all somewhat near a German–Austrian border; on August 9, 1886 he left for Leipzig ("visiting various German cities along the way," one book says), arriving there on August 14. In October he went to Dresden and then to Berlin.

2) In Berlin he finished Noli Me Tangere. One of the book’s characters is named Maria Clara.

3) On May 11, 1887, Rizal began his Grand Tour of Europe. He went to Dresden, Teschen (now Decin in the former Czechoslovakia), Prague, and then Brunn (where he lost a diamond stickpin), and Vienna (where he got back his diamond stickpin, which was found by maid in the hotel he stayed in Brunn) in Austria.

4) On May 24, 1887, he left Vienna by riverboat to see sights on the Danube River (on the boat he saw paper napkins for the first time). His voyage ended at Linz.

• 5) From Linz he went to Munich and other German cities.

6) Rizal was in the German Empire, sometimes past the German-Austrian border, from February 1886 until he went to Switzerland in early June 1887.

7) Rizal was again in Europe from May 24, 1888, until October 18, 1891. He was in London, Paris, Brussels, Madrid, Biarritz, Ghent. He was in Europe during the time Hitler was conceived and when he was born.

8) Rizal in 1888 had an affair with a Japanese woman, Seiko Usui, when he visited Japan. She had an only daughter, Yuriko, by a foreign husband some years after her encounter with Rizal. Yuriko later married the son of a Japanese politician.

PUT ALL THESE INFORMATION TOGETHER AND YOU MAY BE ABLE TO CONCLUDE THE FOLLOWING:

1887May 11-Rizal went to Brunn where he lost his diamond stickpin, and Vienna, where a maid from Brunn gave it back to him.

Klara Polzl was a maid in Vienna.

1. Hitler was conceived either in 1887 when Rizal passed through Linz or other towns (such as Brunn - How do you think he lost the diamond stickpin? And who was the "maid" who found it later and gave it to Blumentritt who forwarded it to Vienna?) near the Austrian border.

1887 May- according to travel buddy Maximo Viola, he spent a night with an unknown Austrian woman.

Hitler's oldest brother, Gustav born on May 17, 1885, and his sister Ida, born in 1886, both died before he was born.

2. Hitler’s older siblings were fictitious, to cover up his mother’s being pregnant with him. In other

words, Hitler was actually born before 1889.

1887 May 24- he left Vienna by riverboat to

see sights on the Danube River (on the boat he saw

paper napkins for the first time). His voyage

ended at Linz.

Hitler always considers a town Linz, in Austria as his hometown (on his Political Testament he

referred to " my hometown of Linz on the

Danube").

3. Klara Polzl’s affair with Rizal may have centered around Linz, which is why the Hitler family moved there later (so Mama Hitler could live where she had An affair to Remember), which would explain Hitler’s fondness for the town.

1888– Rizal had an affair with a Japanese woman, Seiko

Usui, when he visited Japan. She had an only daughter,

Yuriko, by a foreign husband some years after her

encounter with Rizal. Yuriko later married the son of a

Japanese politician.

The Nazis made Japan one of the Axis powers.

At one point they tried to prove that the Japanese

were Aryans, to make the Japanese members of the

"master race."

4. Seiko Usui’s only daughter was not really fathered by her husband, Alfred Charlton. He was simply a front. Yuriko, you see, was Rizal’s daughter! And Hitler knew she was his half-sister. She used her influence on her brother Adolf to persuade him to enter into an alliance with Japan (making it one of the Axis powers). Which is why Japan invaded the Philippines! Yuriko made it clear to Hirohito that Hitler would appreciate it if his ally were to take over his father’s homeland.

Jose Rizal was educated in Europe and he spent a great

deal of time in Germany. To this day, he is revered with a street and statue in Wilhelmsfeld. In

fact his novel, Noli Me Tangere, was first published in Berlin in 1887. Rizal certainly made an

impact in Germany.

Bavaria was considered the

"cradle" of Nazism.

5. The reason why Hitler wanted to become dictator of Germany was because his natural father had spent some of the most interesting years of his life there!

ANALYZATION

1. Hitler was conceived either in 1887 when Rizal passed through Linz or other towns such as Brunn – how do you think he lost his diamond stickpin? Who was the “maid” who found it later and gave it to Blumentritt who forwarded it to Vienna?

Adolf Hitler was conceived in the year 1888 because he was born on April 20, 1889. Rizal and Klara Polzl have no connection with each other. They didn't have any relationship even a simple friendship.The author also assumed that the diamond stickpin might have been found by Klara Polzl because she was a maid, but she didn’t work in the hotel where Rizal and Viola stayed. She was hired as a maid by Alois Hitler in 1876. Thus, the maid who found the diamond stickpin was not her.

2.Hitler’s older siblings were

fictitious, to cover up his mother’s being pregnant

with him. In other words, Hitler was

actually born before 1889.

During the winter of 1887-1888, diphtheria struck the Hitler household, resulting in the deaths of both Gustav (8 December) and Ida (2 January).

3. Klara Polzl’s affair with Rizal may have centered on Linz which is why Hitler’s family moved there later, so Hitler’s mother could live where she had an affair to remember, which could explain Hitler’s fondness of the town.

Linz became special to Adolf Hitler because that was the place where he, his girl sibling and mother lived. The place with many memories of his childhood life.

4. Seiko Usui’s only daughter was not really fathered by her husband, Alfred Charlton. He was simply a front. Yuriko, you see, was Rizal’s daughter! And Hitler knew she was his half-sister. She used her influence on her brother Adolf to persuade him to enter into an alliance with Japan (making it one of the Axis powers). Which is why Japan invaded the Philippines! Yuriko made it clear to Hirohito that Hitler would appreciate it if his ally were to take over his father’s homeland.

In 1897, a year after Rizal’s martyrdom, Seiko married Alfred Charlton, British chemistry teacher of the Peer’s School in Tokyo. Mr. Charlton died on November 2, 1915, survived by Seiko and their child Yuriko.

5. The reason why Hitler wanted to become dictator of Germany was because his natural father had spent some of the most interesting years of his life there!

Do you see any resemblance?

MAO ZEDONG – SON OF JOSE RIZAL?

Mao Zedong was born in 1893, in Hunan province, which is near Hong Kong. But Jose Rizal was in exile in Dapitan at that time (1893). He couldn’t possibly have jumped into a boat and rowed to Hong Kong without being caught. He did pass through Hong Kong in 1888 and 1891, but he never seemed to have visited other parts of China.
