CHILDHOOD Adolf Hitler was born in Braunau am Inn, Austria, on April 20th 1889 to Alois Hitler (who, as an illegitimate child, had previously used his mother’s name of Schickelgruber) and Klara Poelzl. A moody child, he grew hostile towards his father, especially once the latter had retired and the family had moved to the outskirts of Linz. Alois died in 1903 but left money to take care of the family. Hitler was close to his mother, who was highly indulgent of Hitler, and he was deeply affected when she died in 1907. He left school at 16 in 1905, intending to become a painter. Unfortunately, he wasn't a very good one. VIENNA Hitler went to Vienna in 1907 where he applied to the Viennese Academy of Fine Arts but was twice turned down. This experience further embittered the increasingly angry Hitler, and he returned when his mother died, living first with a more successful friend (Kubizek), and then moving from hostel to hostel, a lonely, vagabond figure. He recovered to make a living selling his art cheaply as a resident in a community 'Men's Home.' During this period, Hitler appears to have developed the worldview that would characterize his whole life: a hatred for Jews and Marxists. Hitler was well placed to be influenced by the demagogy of Karl Lueger, Vienna’s deeply anti-Semitic mayor and a man who used hate to help create a party of mass support. Hitler had previously been influenced by Schonerer, an Austrian politician against liberals, socialists, Catholics, and

Adolf Lanz Ostara was the work that instilled in Hitler an antisemitism and belief of entitlement of the Aryan race. 21. Wagener’s portrayal of an artist as a misfit from the bourgeois society who can only depend on himself while only pushed forward by the desire to control and manipulate inspired Hitler’s patterns of leadership.
Once, Adolf Hitler said, “It’s not the truth that matters, but victory.” Obviously, this quote shows that Hitler’s mindset was directed towards winning, and not his moral values. He made false accusations about the innocent Jews, killing over six-million of them. These false accusations were simple, repeated, and, eventually, people believed it. The rise of Hitler and the Nazi Party affected how people viewed the Jews at the time. To begin, events in Adolf Hitler’s life lead to his viewpoints and affiliations. Secondly, the creation of the Nazi Party was critical to the formation of Germany’s point of view. Lastly, Jewish people had been used as scapegoats for the loss of World War I and Germany’s economic crisis.
" It is clear to see Hitler was influenced by many powerful forces and areas. The most influential time was when he lived in Vienna.

Hitler was born on April 20, 1889 in Austria. Both his parents died when he was a teen; his father died from a pleural hemorrhage and his mother died due to having breast cancer. Hitler took his mother's death very hard and when she died, he temporarily lived in a homeless shelter ("73 Shocking Facts About Adolf Hitler"). He had dreams of being a priest as a boy but then grew to love the idea of becoming an artist, so he attempted to enroll into the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna twice but got rejected both times. Hitler then became the Chancellor of Germany where his racism and racist policies led to the murder of eleven million people.
Many wonder what the notorious Adolf Hitler must have endured that led him the become such an evil, careless person. He is infamously known as the main perpetrator of the Holocaust in which roughly ten million people died. Although his exact reasoning for intolerance is, and always will be, unknown, we can infer his motive probably began for reasons such as his failure to become an artist, his abusive father, and his public relations with anti-semitic leaders.
In 1908, he was 18 years old to move from Litz to Vienna. He toured through the streets of the beautiful city, but with his pockets and wallet empty. When he had nowhere to sleep, he often took his belongings to the nearest homeless shelter, and if there was no where else, he would be under a shaded bridge. Hitler failed the art test to get into a school of arts in Vienna not just once, but twice. He was also not built for a good job which left his pockets empty, until some jewish companions of his offered a job to make postcards and sold out to tourists. He had visions of Germany, some with Austria incorporated into them, at the time he still had many compliments to say about Jews. However, the city's rampant strains of anti-Semitism, which became popular bitterness of the rich Jewish Middle Class Man that had arisen under Franz Josef I, the clement and, effectively, the final Habsburg emperor. Hitler studied the memorizing style of the city's favored socialist, anti-Semitic mayor, Karl Lueger. Who knows what this could have led
Nazi ideology was derived from the intellectual and political underworld of pre-1914 Germany. Before 1914, this far-right ideology which was heavily focused on anti-Semitism, remained on the political fringe and had little influence on domestic policies. Hitler himself, for example, although later greatly influenced by the Austrian anti-Semitism of Karl Leuger (1844-1910), was a failed art student and architect whose personal apathy prevented him from enjoying the bourgeois (upper class) lifestyle that he craved. He, like other failures in the German and Austro-Hungarian empires, found in anti-Semitism a

He never completed high school but he applied for admission to the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna (Funk & Wagnalls New World Encyclopedia). He did not receive admission because he apparently lacked talent. He lived in Vienna until 1913 on an orphan’s pension and the earnings he made from his drawings. He read often and developed contempt for Jews and democracy. Hitler volunteered for service in the Bavarian army during World War I. He was a dedicated soldier, but he was never promoted higher than private first class because his supervisors thought that he did not have the potential to be a leader. After Germany lost the war in 1918, he remaining in the army until 1920. His commander made him an education officer, with the order to immunize his charges against pacifist and democratic ideas. He joined the nationalist German Workers’ party in September
The origins of Hitler’s anti-Semitism are widely debated by historians. Common theories include: a self-loathing for Hitler’s own partial Jewish identity, reaction from hysterical trauma suffered from mustard gas in World War I, sexual fantasies, and a persecution complex. According to Ian Kershaw these theories offer “…differing degrees of plausibility but ultimately amount to no more than guesswork.” Kershaw argues that the only thing that can be presumed about the foundations of Hitler’s hatred is his low self-esteem, his frustrations of being a drop-out, failed artist, and being an outsider of society. On top of this, Hitler was reading pan-German anti-Semitic newspapers and admired deeply the Austrian anti-Semite and pan-German Leader Georg von Schonerer and anti-Semitic demagogue Karl Lueger, mayor of Vienna. All of this coupled with Germany’s defeat in World War I led Hitler to find a justification for the world, as he saw it, falling apart. So, he turned to demonizing the Jewish community while working for the educational unit in the German army. In this unit, Hitler found his talent for demagoguery. Hitler made a concerted effort at accusing Jewish finance capital of being
