Hated and killed Jews. Check.
Was interested in satinism. Check.
Yep, he's evil alright.
So any one of those thing make one totally evil? Even by, say, Hitler's definition?

Then a lot of people would still disagree. Meaning is effectively decided by committee, no one agrees on the qualifications for evil. That doesn't mean that evil doesn't exist from view point to view point just that the word itself has little or no meaning.
