The roots of the zombie claim that Hitler had 'Jewish blood' (The Washington Post)

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov cited an often-debunked claim about Hitler's ancestry. Here's where that story comes from.

His study, arguing that more credence should be given to Frank’s account, was published in the Journal of European Studies. To top it off, the son of Frankenreiter — the alleged grandfather — would only have been 10 when Alois was born. Frank claimed that he discovered that Hitler’s paternal grandmother, Maria Anna Schicklgruber, gave birth in 1937 to Hitler’s father, Alois, while working as a cook for a Jewish family in Graz, a city in Austria. Schicklgruber was 42 at the time. Hitler cited his grandmother as a source of the story — but she had died 40 years before he was born.) During Hitler’s rise to power, the missing information about his grandfather led to speculation about a possible Jewish ancestry. The source of this story stems from a documented fact: Hitler’s father was born out of wedlock and Hitler’s grandfather has never been revealed.
