This is mentioned in Mein Kampf.
Ctrl+F that book for 'Esperanto'
Found it - in chapter VIII.
I think that it's a given that this is fucking stupid, preceded and succeeded by even more inane shit. So, focusing on Esperanto alone:
Even if Zamenhof wasn't Jewish, odds are that the Nazi would find a bone to pick against Esperanto. Esperanto's ideology of peaceful coexistence is in direct conflict with concepts like vital space / Lebensraum and ethnic supremacy, and nationalists in general hate when you look into the world outside your "nation".
It triggering Hitler is a good reason to learn Esperanto
Two of Zamenhoff´s children died in camps iirc
WOW. WTF.
