Why? We all know that childhood experiences can determine a persons behavior and personality and that personal experiences as well as beliefs will influence your ideas about a certain subject. Hitler went through a lot of things in his childhood that molded him into the strong ruler that he became and events in his young adulthood that led to his hatred of Jews. Hitler’s childhood and young adulthood were a turning point in history because it ultimately led to his execution of the Holocaust.
How was his character molded ? • Hitler grew up with a violent , judgmental father who verbally and physically abused • Hitler learned from his father at an early age that the best way to get your way was through violence • He loved power and getting his way as a child. His mother spoiled him and when things didn’t go his way he would lash out • He went to school in a Catholic monastery and admired how the priests had so much control over the monks.
Experiences that formed him • Hitler’s father, Alois had spent his whole life moving up civil service ranks and expected Hitler to pursue the same career • After reading one of his fathers book about the military one day he discovered his passion for soldiering • Living in Germany for the majority of his life formed him into a German nationalists that would do anything to “protect his country” , keeping any and every threat from it • Hitler had relations with a Jewish woman who gave him syphilis, which gave him a dirty perspective of Jews
