![]() ![]() ![]() Sources of Hitler’s anti-semitism: Because we have very little reliable information about Hitler’s early life, it is hard to determine exactly when he became a confirmed anti-semite. He wanted to study art, and moved to Vienna after his mother’s death in hope of being accepted to art school, but was turned down for lack of talent. As a young man, he showed no special talents. He had a closer relationship with his mother, and her death from cancer when he was 17 was traumatic for him. Hitler’s father was an illegitimate child and it is uncertain who his father was, but there is no evidence for the legend that this unidentified grandfather was Jewish. He was the son of a local customs official and his much younger third wife. Hitler’s origins: Hitler was born in a small town in Austria in 1889. It was the combination of his virulent hatred of Jews and his success in creating a political movement that was able to seize control of Germany that made the campaign to exterminate the Jews possible. Adolf Hitler (1889-1945) is unquestionably the central figure in the story of the Holocaust. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The schools in our community have many of these books in their libraries so they must approve of them as well.
