Edward Bloch - asymilowany Żyd - był lekarzem w mieści Linz, leczącym młodego Hitlera oraz jego rodzinę, w szczególnością matkę, Klarę Hitler. Hitler miał się o nim wypowiedzieć - po anszlusie Austrii - w następujący sposób, zwracając się do magistrackiego urzędnika w Linzu:
"Powiedz mi czy mój stary, dobry doktor rodzinny Edward Bloch wciąż żyje? Tak, gdyby wszyscy Żydzi byli tacy jak on nie byłoby antysemityzmu"
Po anszlusie Bloch i jego rodzina - na rozkaz Hitlera - byli traktowani w sposób specjalny i włos im z głowy nie spadł. W 1940 roku Bloch wraz z żoną wyemigrowali do USA - bez żadnych przeszkód ze strony nazistów.

"I stood for a short time at my window full of anxious anticipation at the arrival. Standing up in his slow-moving car, Hitler saluted in all directions, including up at my window; I assumed that the salute was not meant for me but for one of my neighbors who was an enthusiastic Hitler-supporter. I was informed the next day that this “honor” was meant for me. Straight after his arrival at City Hall, the Führer asked after me.
Eduard’s daughter Trude later remembers that the following day a town councillor, Adolf Eigl, recounted Hitler’s very words to her: “Tell me, is my good old house doctor, Dr. Bloch still alive? Yes, if all Jews were like him, then there would be no antisemitism.” Trude can, she says, “swear to it.”In truth, this is not a new revelation. Eduard has already heard messages about Hitler’s continued fondness for him, from his patients who were Nazi “illegals” and who made the short journey from Linz to visit Hitler at his Alpine retreat of Berchtesgaden. He knows, therefore, that Hitler thinks him an “exception,” an Edeljude—a noble Jew. He has already been told verbatim what Hitler said about him: “If all Jews were like him, there would be no Jewish Question.”
