Adolf Hitler

Hitler was born on April 20, 1889, in a small Austrian town called Braunau. Hitler's parents did have 5 children but only two of them survived Paula Hitler, and Adolf Hitler. Two of their other siblings died from diptheira and the other one died shortly after birth. Alois (Adolfs's father) was a very strict, hard tempered, and brutal man. He had an elder son from a different marriage who ended up in jail, and did not want Adolf to turn out to be like him. When Adolf was 13 his father had died from a lung hemorage.Adolf knew there would be no more arguing with his father over career choices, or any more harsh words. Adolfs father had wanted him to become a civil servant like he was, but Adolf wanted to become an artist. His grades were so bad in highschool that he was forced to leave school at age 16. Adolf decided to go to Vienna for art school, but he was rejected. At age 23 Adolf thought he learned all he needed to know.
