Hitler

Hitler Adolf Hitler Adolf Hitler was born on April 20, 1889 in Branau, Austria, a small town across the inn River from Germany. He was the third son of Customs Official, Alois Hitler, and his third wife Klara. Alois moved his family into Linz, Austria where Adolf attended school and church regularly. Young Hitler was a good student until his mother's death when Adolf was only sixteen, and having his dad die just two years prior, he dropped out of school and made his way to Vienna, Austria to study art but poverty and rejection forced degradation that gnawed at his soul. He found relief in hatred in trade unionists and Marxists and thanks to the propaganda of Karl Lueger, in the hatred of Jews. Hitler identified all that he wanted and couldn't have; wealth, power, culture, and made them the root of his evil. Later Hitler explained this in an excerpt from Mein Kampf, "Gradually I began to hate them. I was transformed from a weakly world-citizen into a fanatic anti-Semite." Thus, he built his defenses against hopelessness, helplessness and fear.
