Kotler is a product of the Hitler youth. He learned to be cruel there. His father is deemed a traitor and it is hinted that his father is a Jew. Kotler would most certainly hate himself for being part Jewish. He would be hiding it all his life. This would explain his violent reaction to Jews in general: Kotler hates himself.
