The Rise of Hitler
Exactly how did Hitler come into power? What drove him to become the way he was? Why did he kill all those people? In this report, I'll examine these questions and many others. Hitler was born on April 20, 1889 at Branau am Inn in Austria-Hungary. He went by his mother's last name Schicklegruber until 1876 when he took the name Hitler. He spent much of his childhood in upper Austria linz. He had a terrible record in school. He stayed in school until 1905 when he was 16 years old. He aspired to become an artist and applied for entrance into the Vienna academy but was rejected for lack of talent. Hitler's mother passed away five years after the death of his father. The death of his mother was an important event because it helps to explain his anti-Semitic views. His Mother Klara was diagnosed with breast cancer and treated with a kind of iodine. Their family doctor was Jewish and his name was Edward Bloch. Klara died on December 21, 1907. On Christmas eve Hitler went and thanked Bloch for doing all he could and then Bloch gave him the bill.

"Mein Kampf" states the ultimate goal is to eliminate both from the face of the earth. "Mein Kampf" details Hitler's anti-Semitic beliefs. From 1921 through 1923 the value of German currency dropped dramatically. They owed over seven billion dollars to American investors. This made German citizens lose faith in their government. Hitler and the nazi party realized it was time to strike in November 1923. Hitler and comrade Erich Ludendorff led an attempt to overthrow the government. This attempt to overthrow the government was known as the beer hall putsch. The beer hall putsch failed miserably and Hitler was convicted for accounts of treason. Hitler was sent to Landsberg prison for a five year sentence. Hitler only served six months in jail. After Hitler's outburst ended, Drexler hurried to Hitler and gave him a forty -page pamphlet entitled "My Political Awakening". He urged Hitler to read the pamphlet and invited Hitler to come back. Hitler read the pamphlet. He was delighted to find the pamphlet, which was written by Drexler, reflected his own political thinking. A few days later, Hitler received an unexpected postcard saying he'd been accepted as a member into the party. He was asked to attend an executive committee meeting, which he did. At the meeting he was joyfully welcomed as a new member although he was actually undecided on joining. He decided to join the party after thinking about it. ith Jewish peoples and began hating Jews. For the next few years, Hitler made his living writing postcards for advertisements. Hitler took charge of party propaganda in early 1920. Hitler recruited young men he had known in the army. He was aided in recruiting efforts by Ernst Rohm, who was a party member and would play a vital role in Hitler's eventual rise to power. Many people were joining the German worker's party. He tried to get invitations printed at a stationary store. He got more to come to monthly meetings. He placed an advertisement in a anti-Semitic newspaper in Munich. He moved meetings to a beer cellar that could hold one hundred people. Some members were concerned they might have trouble filling the beer cellar, but one hundred showed up.
