  1. More than twelve million people were killed in
  2. concentration camps, six million were Jewish. All of these
  3. horrifying events were consequences of the evening, April
  4. 20, 1889, when the one man responsible for all of this was
  5. born.
  6. Adolf Hitler was born into a loving family of small
  7. farmers and craftsmen. He had one half-sister, Angela, and
  8. one half-brother, Alois, Jr. Hitler's mother loved him very
  9. much and anyone could tell, because she showered him with
  10. affection.
  11. In his early school years, Adolf was a truly good student.
  12. He even took singing lessons and sang in the choir at a
  13. Benedictine monastery. He found the church festivals
  14. fascinating. His enthusiasm for the church soon began to
  15. fade, though. As his teen years approached, he began to
  16. rebel against the church and the career plans that his father
  17. had made. These plans were for him to become a civil
  18. servant, just as he had been. Hitler loved art and wanted to
  19. become a painter. He refused to go by his father's plans.
  20. This was just one thing that him and his father did not get
  21. along about. There really wasn't much they did agree on.
  22. Sometimes Alois criticized and even struck his son.
  23. Although they didn't get along very well, Adolf was
  24. devastated at his father's death when he was a merely
  25. thirteen years old. He even cried when he saw his body
  26. laying in the casket.
  27. Hitler was devoted to his mother and loved her deeply.
  28. She was very kind to him and encouraged to be an artist, or
  29. whatever else he decided to be. He even thought of himself
  30. as his mother's darling, and he carried her picture with him
  31. everywhere he went.
  32. In 1905, Hitler visited the country where he would later
  33. become dictator. While he was there, as a pale and sickly
  34. looking teenager, he stuck everyone as a shy and reserved
  35. young man. After that, he spent a few months studying,
  36. drawing in Munich, Germany.
  37. In October of 1907, he moved to Vienna, planning to
  38. study art. He applied to the Academy of Fine Arts Academy,
  39. but got rejected. The next year, in December, his beloved
  40. mother, Klara passed away. Later that year, he applied
  41. again for the art academy, but got rejected again.
  42. In the month of October, 1914, World War One broke
  43. out and Hitler joined the Bovarian Army. Hitler felt he needed
  44. to defend Germany, his adopted country. On August 4,
  45. 1918, Hitler was awarded the Iron Cross, First Class for
  46. bravery. Then, on June28, 1919, Germany signed the Treaty
  47. of Versailles, ending WW1.
  48. Several years later , in 1942, Hitler and his army
  49. shattered many lives by capturing and killing the inferior
  50. races the slowest and most painful ways possible. The
  51. inferior races, according to him were all Jewish people, the
  52. terminally ill, the physically and mentally handicapped, and
  53. anyone not of German descent. Hitler was a horrible and sick
  54. man, who brought on tough times for all people. Many
  55. people agree that it was very hard to speak up and if you did,
  56. you would get killed. Hitler even had doctors testing to find
  57. the most painful and horrible deaths on people.
  58. Hitler had a great relationship with his mother, but he
  59. and his father argued most of time. His father even beat him
  60. on occasion. Hitler was a scrawny and sickly looking boy
  61. who only had only one friend. He had gotten rejected from
  62. art school twice. All of this made him feel that he had no
  63. purpose in the world. Doing these horrible things probably
  64. made him think that he was making people feel the same
  65. way he felt all of those years and for a small amount of time,
  66. made him feel better about himself.
  67. I think that the German people were willing to follow and
  68. believe Hitler, because they had been through some rough
  69. times and would believe anyone who said that they could
  70. give them jobs and raise their income. They also wanted to
  71. hear that they were the best and when he said this, he won
  72. many Germans over.
