Quash Hitler's Anti-Semitism

Ok here's the TL so far. There was no WW1. Some time in 1915 Hitler emigrates to Britain as he is turned down by the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna for a third time. Here he attends an Art College in Wimbledon.

How might we quash his anti-semitism which had developed by the PoD? This isn't really a historical challenge but I need help coming up with an idea for a TL I'm working on.
 
Well, if you believe some Hitler's anti-semitism was either in its infancy or still undeveloped around this time. Maybe a Jewish teacher at the school taking pity on him or assisting him in achieving his exams will have him put in a new light. Either way, this will probably butterfly his rise to power, if you're trying to make a non-antisemitic Nazi Germany.
 
I can't recall properly but I think that in Mein Kampf, Hitler writes about how his 'debates' with the Jews in Vienna caused his realization they were 'evil'.
Basically they always came out on top in the debates and Hitler looked a cock.
I think this took place while he was at art college.

:)
 
If you want to have a nice little story, have him get assaulted. He was poor, so it's safe to assume he lives in a sketchy area. So a group of men, all with blond hair and blue eyes, attack him, steal what little money he has on him, and knock him unconscious. When he comes to, a Jewish man is helping him out. The man gives Hitler some money, and Hitler never forgets the incident. Maybe they become best friends for life (or 'bffls')? If you want to take it a step further, have it be a Jewish woman, and Hitler forms a short-lived but passionate relationship with her.

Either way, this will probably butterfly his rise to power, if you're trying to make a non-antisemitic Nazi Germany.

I think a German with no WWI isn't going to end up run by the Nazis, either way. ;)

I actually have something more... mundane(?) planned for him. Basically he attends the College and actually develops some quite good art skills, but also an interest in architecture and politics (the politics less relying on his education). He fails to find work in his academic field so, by this point he is legally a British Citizen, he applies for a job with his local constituency, maybe as a secretary or something, coz MPs don't have apprentices.

But I want to get rid of his anti-semitism before then.

I like that a lot. :D

I don't know if you saw it, so reposted.

Thanks. I was trying to think of something outside an academic setting. If he sees Jews doing superior work to him, he'll think "Those damn trickster Jews, trying to pretend they're better than me." On the other hand, if they're not doing as well as him, he gets to think "Ha! Look how the Jew does inferior work to a good Christian man!"

Hitler was a bit of a dick.

Yeh I only saw it after I posted. ;)

Well hopefully I can change that :p. But no that's good. I might use something like that.
 
This was actually written as a scenario in the Third Reich Victorium compilation, although it also has Hitler still becoming head of the nazis and later fuhrer etc, etc but more on the lines of Mussolini without anti-semetism.
They kerb-stomp everyone, basically.
 
One of the main reason's for Hitler's prejudice(not just antisemitism, but also anti-slav) was the aftermath of his being rejected from the Vienna School of Art he couldn't find any work. Hitler ended up in the slums of Vienna which, as many slums do, had a lot of that country's minorities in there. His time there(though I don't know of any specific events) made him hate slavs and jews, he might have already disliked them, but this is what brought it to "exterminate them" level so this is what needs to be dealt with.

I would say, if you want to get Hitler less/non anti-semitic then have him accepted to the art school(not too unreasonable, as from what I saw of his paintings his landscaping was fairly professional looking), that way he doesn't end up in the slums and instead deals with the liberal students of Vienna. Maybe afterwards he gains more interest in politics, and things go from there.
