Selfishness. Evil is selfishness, pure and simple, when you just boil it down.
I mean, a lot of us see manifestations of evil when people hurt others for "no reason", but there's always a reason, and if you can't find it, then that's a reason in itself- just for selfish amusement.
And on the subject of Hitler, he was obviously selfish- his interests were for the blonde-haired and the blue-eyed, and his selfishness comes from the fact that he was so obsessed he thought he was the blonde-haired, blue-eyed God's gift to the Aryan race.
It is a way of life, for some people. Somebody who is so selfish that it has manifestations in other peoples' lives... that's not just a part of the "evil" person, that is them. It's who they are, an inescapable fact.
People are always wondering about the big "If there was no evil, then would there be good?", and I've always sort of thought "No, because 'good' doesn't even really exist, now. It's just a word we use to say 'not evil' in a world of abundant evil."
Evil... is selfishness.
