    ASCENT OF EVIL THE STORY OF MEIN KAMPF STUDY GUIDE To order this and other programs call: (888) 570-5400; (310) 839-1500 www.epfmedia.com © 2017 EPF Media All Rights Reserved ASCENT OF EVIL: THE STORY OF MEIN KAMPF – STUDY GUIDE Ascent of Evil: The Story of Mein Kampf is the story of the autobiographical manifesto written by Nazi Party leader Adolf Hitler while imprisoned following his 1923 failed coup attempt in Munich. In Mein Kampf , Hitler outlined his political ideology and goals for Germany. Today, Mein Kampf is still available in libraries, on the Internet, at universities and even at bookstores worldwide. Yet much of the history of this 720-page, two-volume screed is now forgotten. Using historical footage, photographs and interviews with scholars, Ascent of Evil plunges deep into the infamous blueprint for evil’s dark secrets and reveals how this book came to be written and its impact on world. Hitler’s Early Life Adolf Hitler was born in Austria in 1889 to Klara and Alois Hitler. His father died in 1903, and his mother in 1907. After his mother’s death Hitler moved to Vienna, hoping to pursue a career as a painter, but he twice failed the entrance exam to the Vienna Academy of Fine Arts. He spent the next six years struggling to make a living through watercolor painting and other odd jobs, sometimes homeless or living in hostels. In 1913, Hitler moved to Munich, Germany, in order to avoid being drafted into the Austrian army. However, when World War I began in 1914, he enlisted in the Germany army, where he served throughout the war, receiving a number of awards for bravery.

By: Ellie Hersh Introduction Determining what is the appropriate age to teach school children about the Holocaust, or to be taught about other difficult historical events, is a decision that has been debated among many. Some academics believe it is appropriate to start teaching the topic to students as young as Kindergarten, while others believe that it is more appropriate to wait until students are in high school. I believe that there are lessons that can be taken from the Holocaust—acceptance, understanding and appreciating differences, and helping others—which are more than appropriate to start teaching in a Kindergarten classroom. However, I do not believe that teaching the details of the Holocaust is appropriate.

  • The Itinerary
    HARALD SANDNER HITLER THE ITINERARY Whereabouts and Travels from 1889 to 1945 VOLUME I 1889–1927 Introduction Where exactly did Hitler reside from the time of his birth on 20 April 1889 in the Austrian village of Braunau am Inn, then part of Austria-Hungary, until his suicide on 30 April 1945 in Berlin at a time when the Third Reich was almost entirely occupied? This book is a nearly exhaustive account of the German dictator’s movements, and it answers this question. It !rst o"ers a summary of all the places he lived and stayed in, as well as his travel details, in- cluding information about the modes of transport. It then puts this data in its political, military and personal/private context. Additional information relating to the type of transportation used, Hitler’s physical remains and the destruction he left behind are also included. Biographies on Hitler have researched sources dating back to the period between 1889 and 1918. Such biographers – especially in more recent times – were able to as- sess new material and correct the mistakes made by other authors in the past. Prominent examples include Anton Joachimsthaler (1989, 2000, 2003, 2004) and Brigitte Hamann (2002, 2008) ades of Hitler’s life. Hitler became politically active in 1919. Sources from the early years are scarce and relatively neutral. However, soon after that, the tone of the sources is in#uenced heav- ily by the political attitudes of contemporary journalism. Objective information waned, and reports were either glori!ed or highly disapproving. References to travel, the means of transport used, etc do exist to some degree, but are often also contradictory.

It examines the developments in the period between 1933 and 1955. During this time high-ranking Nazis, local residents, tourists and pilgrims appropriated the house for their purposes by creating various narratives about this space. As unimportant as the house might have been to Hitler himself from the point of view of sentimentality and childhood nostalgia, it had great propaganda value for promoting the image of the private Führer. Braunau itself was turned into a tourist destination and pilgrimage site during the Nazi period—and beyond.

  • Rise of the Nazis Adolf Hitler Was Born an Austrian Citizen and Roman
    Rise of the Nazis Adolf Hitler was born an Austrian citizen and Roman Catholic at 6:30 PM on April 20 1889 at an inn called the Gasthof Zum Pommer in the town of Braunau-am-inn. Adolf's father- Alois Hitler- constantly reinforced correct behaviour with, sometimes very violent, punishment. After Adolf's elder brother- Alois- fled from home at the age of 14, Adolf became his father's chief target of rage. At the same time, Adolf's mother- Klara Pölzl- showered her son with love and affection, as any mother would. When Adolf was three years of age, the Hitler family moved to Passau, along the Inn River on the German side of the border. The family moved once again in 1895 to the farming community of Hafield. Following another family move, Adolf lived for six months across from a large Benedictine monastery. As a youngster, the young boy's dream was to enter the priesthood. However, by 1900, his artistic talents surfaced. Adolf was educated at the local village and monastery schools and, at age 11, Hitler was doing well enough to be eligible for either the university preparatory "gymnasium" or the technical/scientific Realschule (secondary school). Alois Hitler enrolled his son in the latter, hoping that he might become a civil servant. This was not to be. Adolf would later claim that he wanted to be an artist and he deliberately failed his examinations to spite his father. In 1903, Alois Hitler died from a pleural hemorrhage, leaving his family with enough money to live comfortably without needing to work.

  • A Hamburg Childhood: the Early Life of Herbert Bernstein
    1HAAGAN_FMT 09/10/03 4:12 PM A HAMBURG CHILDHOOD: THE EARLY LIFE OF HERBERT BERNSTEIN PAUL H. HAAGEN* On the evening of April 19, 2001, Herbert Bernstein’s wife, Wal- traud, decided to watch Schindler’s List, and she invited Herbert to join her. That evening, her mind was very much on the past, because the following day would be the anniversary of Hitler’s birthday.1 Herbert told her that he could not, that he had too much work to do. The following day he had to teach his final two classes of the term, and he still had to do last minute revisions on the manuscript of the book he was writing with Joseph Lookofsky, the second edition of Understanding the CISG in Europe. As the evening wore on, how- ever, the lure of the movie and of the chance to spend the evening with Waltraud proved too strong and he left his study to join her. The movie, which is powerful enough for audiences with little connec- tion to that time and place,2 deeply moved Herbert, who had strong ties of memory with both. He slept very fitfully that night.3 No one who encountered him the next morning would have had any sense of the burden of that past on him. I suspect that none of his colleagues were aware that it was Hitler’s birthday. If there were those who were, theirs would have been an intellectual or political awareness, not a personal one. Unlike Herbert, they had not lived Copyright © 2003 by Paul H.
