  6. Why did the people of Germony let Hitler do this to the Jews?

  7. I agree with Ryan's comment because it is true that a Jewish Teacher crushed his dreams, and that's why he has hate to Jewish, and any other race.

  8. People also saw Hitler as a politcal crackpot. I agree with anybody who also say's hitler was a politacal crackpot.

  9. It seems it was really easy for him to get a lot of power in not a lot of time.

  10. It is slightly scary to think that a man can manipulate a whole group of people. Propaganda was a great tool to brainwash people. Do you think that you would go with the flow or would you take a stand?

  11. Mark, Wow, great point. I really enjoyed the way you communicated that Hitler attempted to wipe out the Jewish people. The point that made an impact on me was the way you said, "at what cost." That was pretty powerful.

  12. Hitler gained more power by becoming Fuehrer and Reich chancellor by august of 1934.Hiler's dad aboused him witch made his brother run away at a young age.And Hitler also stole the freedom of many and took foundations for himself.

  13. Hitler had a rough childhood. His dad abused him and his brother ran away. Then Hitler started to dispise jews and others. Hitler gained alot of popwer when he became Fuehrer and Reich chancellor by August of 1934. Hitler stole the freedom of many and took foundations for himself.

  14. I heard that when Hitler was young his father came home and when he did he would abuse Hitler and his brother. His brother was so tired of it he ran away never to see him again! I think this is saying that Hitler got lots of his anger from his fathers treatment and from his brother running away!

    ReplyDelete
  15. Wow Mark i didnt know that when he went into office that he put 98 percent of jews in concintration camps.

    ReplyDelete
  16. As Hitler was in Germany, in 1930 he recruited members to join the Nazi party and gained 37% of the vote. As chancellor, in 1933, he ordered a boycott saying 'DON'T BUY FROM JEWS' on shops.This was the first 'good idea' from Hitler.

  17. i would take a stand cause im not going to let people sit there and distroy my life i would takee a stand and if i was to get seriously hurt or killed i would expect some one to stand up for what they belive in.

  18. Jessica I agree with you about how he got his anger from his fathers treatment this makes me feel bad for Hitler because if he didn't get treated like this he might not have been the angry man he was.

    ReplyDelete
  19. I wonder why Hitler only liked blond hair blue eyed people and Emarrero i would go with the flow becuase i would not want to be shot.I would most likely have more of a chance that way!I also think that he was not a crackpot but as someone with different thoughts!!

  20. wow alise i didnt know that. thats kinda crazy. wouldnt it be weird if some one was to say dont buy for alyssa! good information;]

  21. when hitler was growing up his childhood wasnt the best. His brother ran away and his dad abused him. But hitler did well in school and he wanted to be an artist but his dad wanted him to be in polotics. But hitlers dad died at the age of just 13. Then evrything went sour he started doing bad in school and eventually he dropped out at the age of sixteen. I think that hitler became in politics because his dad wanted to and he was mean to jews because of his childhood.

  22. i honestly don't get how the Jews didn't put Hitler on the spot. He said blonde hair, blue eyed people were perfect, but he had brown hair and brown eyes how could no body catch on to that?

    ReplyDelete
  23. Wow Mark i didnt know hitler had a sister way to go on reasearching so much information

  24. Adolf Hitler was born in a small town in Braunau-Austria. His father was Alois Hitler and his mom is Maria Schickelgruber. Believing Germany was destined for greatness the Nazi had 33% of the Reichstag on their side. He was seen as a chairsmatic speakerin order to boycott jewish buisnesses as one of the first desicions of Hitler.

  25. Sam you are right he did get alot of power but he got it because he was like a war hero he got the iron cross.
    (which is the german meadle of honor), finally when he was chancelor he was automaticly next in line to be the president.

  26. Hitler "different way of thinking" has led to a mass extermination of the Jewish populace

    ReplyDelete
  27. When Hitler was a kid he actually wanted to be priest. Had his art talent not surfaced he never would have met the jewish teacher, he never would have went to Vienna and he might not have became prejudiced about the jewish people.

    ReplyDelete
  28. Some interesting facts i learned about Hitler are...
    Hitlers young life was filled with joy and normal kid stuff untill... his dad retiered from the Civil Service when hitler was about 6.
    Another fact is during his child times Hitlers father died from internal bleeding in the lungs.
    Later his mother died from breast cancer.
    Man Hitlers life sucked mabey thats why he became who he was killing jews for really no reason, just because he thought they were bad...

    ReplyDelete
  29. Another reason he got into power was because he promised so much and fed off peoples fears. By blaming the Jews for every thing he created a scapegoat for germans to say its not my fault. Germans wanted their country to be great again and Hitler promised that with the extermination of the Jews

    Some thing interesting about Hitler is his personality. He was jealous of other people who suceed academically and he preferred to live in a fantacy world. Hitler alot of times felt like a failure. He was a great speaker and was able to talk people into doing what he wanted them to do.

  31. I agree with you mrs Gosser. Its really weird how like everyone started listening to this wack-o. I mean he may be an inspiration but really he wasnt. Telling people to not buy things from the jews,(alise) I mean thats just plane discrimination. No one should have listened to him. He was a bad infulence for childeren because, He got kids to join the milatary at a young age and thats not right, Having them even think about wanting to kill people, Thats not good. To i agree compleatly with you mrs Gosser!!!!.

  32. Thats cool Jason.I didnt know hitler wanted to be a priest.

  33. Hitler had a difficult childhood. Hitler's dad died from internal bleeding in his lungs and his mom died from brest cancer. His schooling did not go well eather. He dropped out when he was just 16 because of his grades. he tried to get into school for the arts and was rejected. After that he had no place to really call home up until the time he served in world war 1. He became interested in politics when he was a soldier and he saw how soldiers were mistreated. He was also mad about Germany losing World War 1. He wanted another war for revenge. I think that was the wrong way to settle this and it wasnt his problem. His popularity came from taking his racist ideas to the ordinary German people. He promised good things for the German people. He blamed everything on the jews and wanted to creat a master rece. He was able to build a powerful army after he came into power.

  34. ha.yes he wqas jelouse of people thats why he started all the madness.(Rachel)

  35. i think that Hitler was a cruel but yet Hitler has a good side of him Hitler was cruel by the harsh deaths of the Jews and Hitler was nice to the small non-Jewish children and to his german people. His advertisement and speeching realy helped him gain such power and popularity.

    That is true Jason he did like art so much that he tryed to get into a school for arts. But got rejected. Very cool fact Jason

  37. nicia i agree with you totaly. hitler was not blonde hair and blue eyes so i really dont know what he made a big deal about because obviously he was not special

    ReplyDelete
  38. He felt like a failure in alot of the things he tried to do. He was very jealous of people who did well. He HATED people who succeeded academically and preferred to live in a fantasy world. He was a very good speaker and was able to talk people into doing what he wanted. The German people did not have any food or jobs and were ready for someone to help them. The German people had faith in Hitler that he would change things. They did not trust the old government. He demanded that new elections be held. He wanted to change the government.

  39. Adolf Hitler was born April 20, 1889. He hated his father, his schools, but he loved his mother. His father abused him and his brother. When his father died, he felt he was free from his father's control. When his mother died, he lost the person he ever loved. As hitler grew older he decided he wanted to be an artist. He took an art exam and he failed it. He wanted revenge on the teacher who crushed his dreams and his teacher was Jewish. This may have been what caused him to mass murder other jewish people.

    ReplyDelete
  40. Hitler got so much power because Hitler basically brain-washed the people in Germany into thinking that the Jews were the problem. He convinced people to turn against them and that's how Hitler gained a lot of power.

    ReplyDelete
  41. This is so weird but cool I never knew that hitler was a mama's boy, and i can understand why he hated his father. I hate my father to but not for the reasons hitler hated his father. i think that after hitler was declared chanccellor. the mysterious fire that put hitler in emergency control, was a economic trap to put hitler in bigger power so he could try to start his own nation & politics under his rule. hitler got pretty far with this but he failed in the end...........

    ReplyDelete
  42. I've been wondering...
    I heard Hitler killed himself but why did he kill himself? Was he running from something? Was he tired of being himself? What happened there?

  43. Wow Alise, I did not know when he recruited people for the Nazi party he gained 37% of the vote

    hitler is some what like a role model for kids that dont do so good at most things, he wasnt very god at things,but he did almost succeed at creating his own nation.

    ReplyDelete
  45. Louis, I agree I think the Nazi's started the fire and they blamed it on the communists to get Hitler to gain more power.

    ReplyDelete
  46. Adolf hitler was born in 1889, and at the age of 6 he started elementary school and his dad retired from a pension in the Austrian civil service which meant that his father was going to be home more often and he was going to be more diciplined and well behaved at home.

    ReplyDelete
  47. When Adolf Hitler was a kid, he wanted to be a priest whis is weird because priests would never want to kill millions of people for no real reason. He was artistic and sang too. His father beat him a lot when he was a kid which I think might be part of why he was messed up when he got older, like maybe he was rebeling against his childhood sort of. He got interested in politics when he didnt get accepted into an art school and had to live on the streets. His hatred of Jewish people started then, even though artist he admired and his friends were jewish. He tranformed the german workers party into a real political party and was the leader. He later killed all of the leaders of the SA(his private army) to become the president, which made him a dictator.

  48. Sarah C,
    What kind of things did Hitler do to Brainwash the Germans into thinking Jews were the problem?

  49. Hitler got interested in politics after being a soldier in WW1, he saw how badly the soldiers were being treated so he wrote Mein Kamp the stuggle oh his life.

  50. Louis D,
    I agree Hitler is kind of a role model because he did try very hard for what he wanted, even though it was a really bad thing to want.

    ReplyDelete
  51. I think everyone thought he was a mean and cruel dictator b/c when he he entered WW1 he observed how soldiers were mistreated so that must have affected his future and how he treated people and how he thought they should be treated.

  52. Adolf Hitler was born on April 20 1889,As a child Hitler had pretty normal life, he took part in a boys' choir. I think hit was trying to find himself as a child but got in to must trouble that lead to the killing of thousands of people in Germany. He got into smoking and poltics and from then one it went bad from there. His personality to other was harsh and insenible bacause he did not care about who he was killing.

    i agree with you because i think that he got all that power because he brain washed people to think that the jews were the problem when all along it was him..

  54. I think that hitler commited suicide with his wife and kids b/c they were afraid that their allies were gonna get back at them for the millions of people he killed. That`s only what i read though.

  55. Hitler’s rise to power was very gradual; it took some time for him to gain all this power and for all the German’s to follow him. When I found out that Hitler’s father beat him it clicked in my brain that he didn’t go crazy on his own, it was part of his childhood along with getting rejected to an art school in Vienna several times. It wasn’t long before Hitler volunteered for the German Army, which led to him joining the anti-Semitic, nationalist, anti-capitalist and anti-Marxist party, which is a form of socialism. When this happened I believe he felt the sense of power and he wanted more power. Soon enough, he became chancellor with is an extremely high placement in the German Government, when the President died Hitler abused his power and named himself President which gave him all the power in the country because he had both a Chancellorship and Presidency Duties, soon enough the country was a dictatorship.

    ReplyDelete
  56. Thayra R,

    Yes! That is exactly why Hitler commited suicide, the Red Army(Russia and the US) were invading Germany and they basically had Hitler cornered. Hitler did not want to give anyone the satisfaction of killing him so he killed himself.

    ReplyDelete
  57. Ali C,
    I totally agree. After your dreams fall apart, especially such a horrible dream, what would keep you alive? He had no hope of ever seeing his dream come alive again. He had a wife of only a day, and no children. It was obvious that he would be put to death. His follwers would find a way out, but he knew the impossibility of escaping this fate.

    ReplyDelete
  58. Hitler’s childhood was very complicated. His father would be violent to both him and his mother. “I counted silently the blows of the stick which lashed my rear end.” He disciplined himself not to cry, and he counted how many times he was whipped when his father beat him. This could have something to do with what would happen in his future.
    Hitler’s peers say he was “too eager to please his superiors, but generally a likeable loner.” They also considered him brave. In an Army report, he was said to be “a born orator.” Hitler was delighted when he found he could hold the attention and sway them to his point of view with a strange audience. This would explain why the Jews went along with his plan in the first place. With the right words and attitude, he would have been able to make him feel safe.
    Hitler and the Nazi’s gained popularity fairly quickly. The Nazi’s were first known as The German Worker’ Party. They first placed an advertisement in an anti-Semitic newspaper, and Hitler insisted that they move to a beer cellar, which would hold about a hundred people. The committee members thought they might have trouble filling the place, but that proved to be no problem. Just over a hundred showed up to this meeting on October 16, 1919. Everyone was astounded when Hitler got up to speak. He spoke with a “highly emotional, at times near hysterical manner of speech making.” Hitler was the main attraction of the German Workers’ Party from then on. Hitler was able to understand how “a political party directly opposed to a possible Communist revolution could play on the fears of so many Germans and gain support.” He made the groups flag, which to this day remains one of the most infamous symbols, the swastika. This flag helped The German Workers’ Party gain popularity, and their fairly long name, National Socialist German Workers’ Party, was called “Nazi” for short. Their group went from a hundred member to over three thousand in less than a year (1919-1920).

  59. When you take a look at Adolf Hitler's childhood, your guess as to what he would be as he got older would never be an evil dictator. He went to monastery school and sang in the boy's choir. Hitler even dreamed of becoming a priest. I find this very surprising because people who consider being priests aren't people who kill massive amounts of people. Hitler also loved drawing and sketching. He began his political career when he failed an art exam and gave up on this dream. Adolf's crazy obsession with war and power started one day when he found his father's old military books. Hitler was very interested in the way war worked and longed for power. I think Hitler's father beating him when he was young contributes to how evil he became. Years later, when Hitler began to become more and more interested in politics and dictating, the Nazis started to gain power. They made a plan so that farmers and white - collar voters would support them in the election. Their advertising on how German people were the superior race gained some people's alliance. After Hitler was named chancellor, and later president of the country, he had a position of great power. This gave him the ability to dictate and begin what we know now as the holocaust.

    With his crazy ideas how do you think he was able to gain so much power and popularity?

  61. Sarah C - I didn't know that Hitler's art teacher was Jewish. I agree with you that this may be why he was so prejudiced towards the Jewish people.

  62. Hitlers father had abused his older brother and so he could not take it anymore;and so he had left.The beatings got passed down to adolf Hitler.In his youth he was a humming bird in the boys choir.In 1895(adolf was six)his father retired on a pension from the Austrian civil service.Adolf's father gave orders and he expected them to be obeyed.I think hittler got his abbusive ways from his father.I also think that because if his father treated him in a loving and caring way than the anger that was congered inside him would mostly likely not have came outand his brother probly would not have ran away.A skill that Adolf hitler had for a successful political carreer is that he was able to speak and people would listen but I don't know why people would want to listen to him.

    ReplyDelete
  63. I think that Hitler was able to commit such horrible crimes because during childhood, he was beaten by his father. When you're a kid, you learn a lot of things from your parents, like the way you should act. So if Hitler's father beat him up all throughout his childhood, I think Hitler would naturally assume that, that kind of violence was acceptable, that it was normal.

    Also, I think one of the reasons Hitler targeted Jews was because his mother who had died of breast cancer was treated by a Jewish doctor. Hitler didn't have a great relationship with his father, but he loved his mother, and her death greatly effected him.

    It says that Hitler was a great speaker, and that he could sway any audience to believe his opinions, but I think that the Germans were just looking for someone to blame. They lost World War 1, and that hurt their pride, so they needed someone to pin the blame on. It had to be someone else's fault, so when Hitler said it was the Jews fault for everything. I think the Germans just agreed and went along with it because they wanted to restore their pride. Because honestly, if you got into a fight with someone, wouldn't you rather pin the blame on someone else if you lost? Wouldn't it be easier for you, if you could just blame someone else? Hitler may have been a good speaker, but i think that it is not possible for someone to basically brainwash another group of people, just by speaking. Nobody is that good of a speaker!

  64. As a youngster, Hitler had a very rough child. Hitler's father, Alois Hitler was very stressed since he was in the Austrian civil-service and was used to having orders obeyed by his fellow "army buddies" that once he retired he wanted his childern to obey every order that was commanded. However, Hitler was never punished by his father. At first his older brother Alois Jr. had a vile beating from their father. At age 13 Alois Jr. ran away making Adolf Hitler the next target to a harsh beating. As time went on Hitler went to primary school, then eventually was sent to monastery school where he became apart of the boys' choir. Also he wanted to be a priest. he admired the way the church figures would speak out into the groups of people and inform them of everything like the news. In addition, Hitler would often play preist and have long sermons. As the years grew longer, Hitler was then 21. His mother and father had both passed away and Adolf had moved away to Vienna. Hitler was very fond of the arts and wanted to go to classical school instead of Technical school like his father so he could then become a civil servant. After being turned down at the academy of fine arts in Vienna Hitler then started to live in a homeless shelter for men. After being in the homeless shelter, Hitler new that his dream of being an artist was crushed into a million pieces. So by then he started being informed in politics. He always wanted to have a debate about what was going on when somebody else disagreed with Hitler he would then become very displeased and be angry. However, Hitler started to enjoy reading like he was gaining a passion for it. He would often read the daily news in the paper and went down to the library tp read political pamplets, and german mythology and history. I think that at this point of Hitlers life is when he started to seek power and attemped to gain more knowlegde about politics so he could slowly become at the topp of the political chain and suddenly become a great sorta evil Dictator. Also i think he has a good way of persauding to people to get people to agree with him and be on his side like allies and kill or punish anyone that disagrees with him in a cruel unusual way.

  65. Nia F,

    I totally agree with you. There is no way that Hitler was able to just be that great of a speaker to have all those people just follow in his every footsteps.Also, I never knew that the Doctor who treated Hitler's mother was Jewish.

    ReplyDelete
  66. Lizzie L,

    I think that Hitler gained all his powers with such "crazy ideas" because he didn't really tell them what he was going to do to them. Also, no matter what people want to believe Hitler was a great speaker. When he talked people actually listened partially because he shouted but also because he twisted and manipulated the words into other things. :]
    Hope that answers your question!

  67. Well with Adolf's crazy idea's like make germany raccily pure and religously pure.
    and he also said he would restore germany's honor by killing all the Jewish people in Germany thus making Germany perfect in his eye's, and in his eye's germany need's no jew's, no handicap's, no impuritie's like brown hair and brown eye's but yet HE had brown hair and brown eye's that is how he became famous lizzie.
    What kind of things did Hitler do to Brainwash the Germans into thinking Jews were the problem? you ask jackie. as i said to lizzie he he would make germany perfect again by executing all the jewish people in germany

  71. But, Ultimately Hitler had hate agianst the jews because A Jewish Teacher crushed his dreams of being a Artist. Originaly he wanted to be a artist, but I guess because of the bad comment about not being a good artist soured his brain and made him angry at jews and any other race.......

  75. Hitler was a cruel person to not inly Jewish people but to Asians, African americans, Hispanic, and brown hair and brown eyes. The Nazis held people in concintration camps, most of those people died in these camps. The Nazis had no mercy to any body and would kill any age even babys. Even though Hitler was most racial to Jewish people he was jewish himself! Nobody wants to have another Hitler.

  76. i wounder why Hitler wanted to be a priest? You think he would not want to be a priest beacuace of how evel he was.thats good to know that he had good art talent. in my opion i think he should have did something with his art talent instead of trying to take over germany!

    I agree with you. I don't agree with what Hitler did to the Jews, but in his childhood he did get beat. This may have been the cause of his madness. I wonder if there is anything else that happened in Hitler's childhood that would cause his madness.

  96. Jackie M,
    Hitler told the people of Germany that the Jews were to blame for the Treaty of Versailles. The Germans hated this treaty and wanted to get rid of it. Hitler's ideas about Jews were accepted because he made the German's think that they needed to get rid of the Jews. When Hitler promised to tear the treaty, he gained trust and basically "brainwashed" the German's.

    Hitler didnt just randomly commit suicide. he did it because he didnt want to be caught and taken in

    "death before dishonor" i guess...

  98. Joey f yeah hitler was smart but he used his intelligience in the wrong way. If he awould have been nicer to the jews and gypsies there would more peace in germany so people would have liked him more.

  101. Sarah C, you may be absolutely right about his Art teacher. He may have got an influence that Jews were cruel when he was a child. Nice job metioning that to his childhood cause that makes me wonder if Hitler really started it over that.

  102. Robert H,
    Hitler did alot of things to come to power, but one of the main ones was that he blamed the Jews for the Treaty of Versailles. The German's hated the treaty and when they thought they found out who did it, they started to trust Hitler. This gave Hitler alot of trust and he gained power.

  103. When discussing other topics, i learned the start to Hitler's hatred of Jews. He had wanted to go to an Art school but he was not accepted. The teacher who denied him was a Jew. It seems to me that Mr. Hitler is a very sore loser both about not getting accepted and losing the war.

  105. My reflection of this learning experience is that it has been very interesting. I knew alot about the holocaust already but by researching cooperatively with my peers more information was found and understood. Also, the class discussions were enriching and well sustained.

  106. The facts i learned about the holocaust are that in a propoganda, you could only read, see, hear, what the Nazi's wanted you to read, see and hear. I also learned that a typical day in a constersation camp is that they would have to wake up at 3am everyday. In the map and time line that Hitler's allies were Japan and Italy

    I totally agree with you about his father beating him, and about when your young you learn what your parents teach you. Like if your parents let say steal from a store than you think it's alright to do it because your parents did it. Another thing that he also did was he also beat his other son name Alois. He beat him really bad that, I think he got tired of his dad and, ran away so next in line was Hitler.

  109. at first i thought hitler was crazy because i didnt have this topic. but after reading this and talking to my classmates i have relized that hitler had a bad chldhood, and his father wasnt the best dad. but i still dont think that hitler should have killed these people. but i understand. i dont approve, i dont like him but its a good thing to know why.

    brittney keen!

    I also don't agree with what he did. No matter what happened, it didn't give him any excuse to kill millions of innocent people. His father beat him and his brother(who finally ran away), so this could contribute to his actions in his future. Also, the doctor who treated his mother and his art teacher were both Jewish. He failed the art exam, and his mother died in the doctor's care. Those elements would have definitely helped drive him towards what he did.

  111. Adolf Hitler was a psychologically demented in many ways. In his book Mein Kampf he stated that as a young man that he started to notice the differences between the Germans and the Jews and how they have adapted or evolved to almost look German.Over time he also started to state how much his observations had turned into hating the Jews just because they were different in his eyes from everybody else.My personal opinion about this situation and about Hitler is that he was being predjudice and incon+siderate because he didnt approve of the evolution of the Jews living in Germany and interacting and having the same priviliges as the Germans.

  112. MAxine or Siera How did Hitler get so much power?

    ReplyDelete
  113. I agree with you Brittney beacuse possibly his bad childhood could have led up to this anger and power against other people. He should have never mistreated those people like that but he probably remembered his childhood and thought about how his father treated him.

  114. Kelsey M,

    It wasn't just the jews it was many, many other races. Also...what are you talking about his place? Have you seen the inside of his house? Hitler wasn't exaclty "evil" he was just a little messed up in the head. When he returned from fighting in WW1 he started catagorizing people by their hair color, skin color, eyes, and body type.

  115. I never knew the art teacher that rejected him was jewish. i wonder what would have happened if he did get the job as an artist. would there have been a world war 2? would he have become the racist monster he was? would there be more jews in the world now?

  116. The only thing i really learned about his rise to power was i noticed that Hitlers mother's doctor was jewish, i wonder if he might of killed his mothers doctor or kept him alive to help his mother?

  117. what if his love was jewish? would he have been so determined to rid the world of everyone except for blond hair blue eyes?

  118. What i have learned is that Hitler was a powerful leader who disliked many races and killed them, He took control of most of Europe and controeld most of the societ union. Eventually he lost his power in 1945 and surrendered. He took his life with his wife Ava Brawn, he considered himself and respected leader, others believed he destroyed many lives.

  122. Yesterday I found out from amanda :)that the reason Hitler got into politics was because he failed an art exam and then he decided to go into politics because he was interested in war and his father was also in politics.

  123. nia i think you are right,but that dose not mean you cant possibly change.Obviousley Adolf hitler did not chhange because he had so much anger up inside him

  124. well rebecca it saiys that his fatha lliked giving orders and used to having them being obeyed.so im thinking that if hitler or his brother did not obey his rule he would get beat or he might have just beat them for no reason at times

  125. Hitler's youth was not expected to be the youth of a man who killed many people because of race, hair, eyes, sexuality, and religion. This is not and expected youth of a killer because he was a farm boy and at one time he went to a Monastery school wanted to be a priest plus he was in the boy choir. This kind of youth you would think of a person of saving lives not killing. But one down turn was when he found his dads WWI book and he was hooked on the war. I think his hatred toward other races because of the two political groups in Vienna that in persuaded him. One was lead by Georg von Schonerer and one lead by Karl Luger. I think that the Nazis and Hitler gained so much power by propaganda and Hitler’s great speaking ability. by sean h

  126. Something I learned about Hitlers rise to power is that he was a powerful speaker and would go to public places and give speeches and blame the Jews for most of the economic problems.

  128. oh wow. i never knew about the whole art thing and hitler getting denied. i wonder if that teacher had actually accepted him, world war II could have never happened.
    the teacher could have been the reaoson he was against jews.

  129. I learned that Hitler was failing almost all of his classes in school. On a scale of 1-5 (1-a little and 5-alot) how much do you think this affected his rise to power? I give it a 2.5.
