Perhaps not personally, but he certainly gave direct orders to do so in the wake of Hindenburg's Death with the Night of the Long Knives, as far as orders that actually survived goes. Naturally he didn't write the Holocaust orders down, why that might backfire on him. The guy in my icon, though, actually did kill people directly in his pre-1917 days as a poet and bank robber.
The satire in question, if done of Jews, would not be treated anywhere near as sympathetically as that of Arab Muslims. This is because, of course, European stereotypes of Jews showed where that eventually ends up and without a bunch of Jews in Europe but with Israel European hatred of Jews fixates on the 'next best thing.' While of course the Islamists are banking on the Europeans proving as moronic as the USA did, which given the opprobrium over the Danish cartoons and the later revival of fascism in Europe seems to be working pretty well thus far.
