He made people suffer. That is why. Suffering is malignant. Evil is malignant. There is no positivity that comes out of it whether it be pleasure, education, growth, etc.
Torture is always an evil, because it is a direct violation of one's being and is the act of suffering to the extreme.
If Hitler is not evil, then NOBODY IS..and what we call "evil" is just a word for the things we do not accept.
Some people may argue that Hitler was insane, and therefore he could not truly be held accountable for his actions. Other people will argue that he knew full well what he did, and deserves to be looked at as the lowest form of human being.
Who knows....but what he did constitutes as evil in every diverse definition of the word.
