Adolf Hitler was born in Braunau am Inn, Austria.(Dorpalen Microsoft Encarta 98) Eighteen ninety-nine was the year of his birth. He was a poor boy and a high school dropout. He was rejected twice from the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna for lack of talent.(The Volume Library 2 Pg. 1745) At age 25, Hitler eagerly volunteered to serve in W.W.I. His fellow soldiers were unlike him. They would always talk about bad food and women but he would prefer to discuss history or art. Despite his early luck during the first two years of the war, he was later injured twice and decorated twice with the Iron Cross.(AOL 12/15/98 Hitler In W.W.I.) After the war, Hitler joined a growing Nazi Party and soon became its leader. By 1930, he helped make the Nazi Party the second largest in the country.(The Volume Library 2 Pg. 1745 When he organized an uprising he was placed on trial for treason. He didn't try to deny what he had done, but openly declared that he wanted to overthrow Germany's new democratic government. Hitler was allowed to use the trial as propaganda for the Nazi party. In the end he wound up with a five year sentence and poss

In 1939, Hitler launched what would become World War II by invading and conquering Poland.(Crozier Pg.146) But even before he started W.W.II he began his war against the Jews. It started on April 1, 1933. He ordered that no one should buy anything from a Jewish store for that day. He was pleasantly surprised when almost every German listened. By the end of April Jews were not allowed to work in government jobs, slaughter animals, and be admitted to German universities.(Rossel Pg. 32) Once he started conquering other countries he forced them to pass laws like the Germans against the Jews. He would spread lies of anti-Semitism making other people feel hatred against the Jews.(Rossel Pg. 50) At this time Jews were being sent to concentration or death camps and also walled in ghettos. The biggest ghetto was in Warsaw, Poland. About a half million Jews were squeezed into a few city blocks. Conditions were horrible and epidemics spread quickly since there were so many people placed in such a small area. As you could imagine life was not pleasant in the Warsaw ghetto or any of the other ghettos.(Rossel Pg. 57) If you could imagine, concentration camps were even worse. Auschwitz was the largest camp in Europe. Almost 2 million people were murdered there. The prisoners there were fed a thin, hardly nutritious soup. Sometimes they wouldn't get food in for days. They were also forced to do labor to support the German army. Life was a living hell. That's if you were not killed as soon as you got there. If you were not useful to the Germans, they would send you to be killed. Usually they would exterminate large groups of people at one time by placing them into gas chambers. The gas chambers were originally Hitler's idea. He got it from remembering a gas attack during W.W.I. Now you can see how sick his mind was. The concentration camps were the "final solution" of what to do with the Jews.(Rossel Pg. 72)

In conclusion, you can see Hitler, although completely evil, had a huge influence on the world. He caused nothing but destruction. Nothing that he built or instituted remains today. The Jews and Germans today are scarred and will never forget their roots. Hitler was a murdering, hateful, sinister man.

ible parole in six months. While in jail he was accommodated well. He even had his own secretary, Rudolph Hess. Hess wrote down every word out of Hitler's mouth. Eventually, this turned into Hitler's book, Mein Kampf.(My Struggle) In this book
