Brigid Hitl er {mother of Patr ick Hitler) had Czech blood, besides being a blood relation or her husband, Alois Sch1ckelgruber, subsequently legit imized to Bitler. Hitler' s father was twenty-three years older t han his wife and 11as fifty-two years ol d v:hen Adolr Ri tler 'll'a s born in 1889. All evidence obtainable points to the fact that thi s marriage was unhappy. The one fact which seems to emer ce from t he cloud covering this marriage is that Hitler 1 s father was a sadist. This fact 11as learned by Dr . Sedgwick from l!r s . Brigid Hitler, t he ex-wife of Alois Hitler II, half-brother or Adolf ( Hitler. She called on Dr . Sedgwick on August 10, 19~7 , a t his London home and told him that her ex-husband Alois had d escribed his own father as of very violent temper, in the habit of beating his dog until the dog wet the carpet. Be also beat his children and upon occasion in a bad temper he would go so far as to beat his 'Hife Xlara. The pattern thus becomes clear .. On one side was the c" hated father and on the other the suppressed mother, who quite possibly enjo~ed this treatoent, and young Adolf, at t his period just reaching the age of puberty, and constitutionall y opposed ••. I ·' to hil rather (cr. "Mein K&mpr•). The re1ult or this dome1tic ( lituation on Hitler waa a mixture or Narci11ua and Oedipus com- ' plexee. There ia not the 1lightest doubt that Hitler's hyster­ ioal-eyed mother oocupiea the central position in hie whole erotio gene1ia. She vas or the proround~st influence during the period rrom the age or rourteen when hie rather, Aloia, died un­ til his mother'e death when he was nearly twenty.

Just as in conversation people hear them­ selves even in the words of the man who is talking to them, eo the majority of readers only read themselves in the books they are reading. The power to enter into the world of the author, as Goethe says, is given to very few people. Thie explains in part why the profoundest and most brilliant books have so little real influence on the mass or readers. Hitler is the exemplification on the grand scale ot this phenomenon .

  • “Zersetzung Und Zivilcourage“
    EXPOSEE In dieser Dissertation geht es um die Rolle von Frauen im Alltag des Nationalsozialismus und Krieges von 1939-1945. Nicht nur, dass Frauen selbstständig den Arbeits- und Kriegsallta g meisterten, sie mussten auch Ängste, Gefahren und Terror überstehen. Als dann besonders in den letzten Kriegsjahre n immer mehr Frauen einen deutlichen Unmut über die verheerende Situatio n öffentlich zum Ausdruck brachten oder gar flüchtigen Soldaten Beihilfe zur Fahnenfluc ht leisteten, wurde dieses „wehrkraftzersetzende Verhalten“ gesetzlich und richterlich verfolgt und schwer bestraft. Die zentrale Fragestellung dieser Arbeit richtet sich insbesondere auf die Praxen “ZERSETZUNG der Überlebenssicherung ausgewählter Geschichten von Frauen in verschiedenste n Momenten der Verfolgung.

This duty corresponds to our fundamental rights as citizens and as persons to receive and give respect to each other in view of our possession of such rights.” Such duty, outlined by contemporary philosopher Alan S. Rosenbaum, was no better exemplified than in the case of Nazi war criminals in the aftermath of World War II. Even before the floundering Axis powers of Germany and Japan declared their respective official surrenders in 1945, the leaders of the Allies prepared possible courses of action for the surviving criminals in the inevitable collapse of the Nazi regime. Since the beginning of the war in 1939, the Nazi regime in Germany implemented a policy of waging a war so barbaric in its execution that the total numbers of casualties rivaled whole populations of countries.

REVEALING AND CONCEALING HITLER‟S VISUAL DISCOURSE: CONSIDERING “FORBIDDEN” IMAGES WITH RHETORICS OF DISPLAY by MATTHEW DONALD Under the Direction of Mary Hocks ABSTRACT Typically, when considering Adolf Hitler, we see him in one of two ways: A parodied figure or a monolithic figure of power. I argue that instead of only viewing images of Hitler he wanted us to see, we should expand our view and overall consideration of images he did not want his audiences to bear witness. By examining a collection of photographs that Hitler censored from his audiences, I question what remains hidden about Hitler‟s image when we are constantly shown widely circulated images of Hitler. To satisfy this inquiry, I utilize rhetorics of display to argue that when we analyze and include these hidden images into the Hitlerian visual discourse, we further complicate and disrupt the Hitler Myth.

    The Holocaust, 1933 – 1945 Educational Resources Kit Glossary of Terms, Places, and Personalities AKTION (Action) A German military or police operation involving mass assembly, deportation and killing; directed by the Nazis against Jews during the Holocaust. ALLIES The twenty-six nations led by the United States, Britain, and the former Soviet Union who joined in fighting Nazi Germany, Italy and Japan during World War II. ANIELEWICZ, MORDECAI Leader of the Jewish underground movement and of the uprising of (1919-1943) the Warsaw Ghetto in April 1943; killed on May 8, 1943. ANSCHLUSS (Annexation) The incorporation of Austria into Germany on March 13, 1938. ANTISEMITISM Prejudice and/or discrimination towards Jews, based on negative perceptions of their beliefs. ARYAN RACE "Aryan" was originally applied to people who spoke any Indo- European language. The Nazis, however, primarily applied the term to people with a Northern European racial background. Their aim was to avoid what they considered the "bastardization of the German race" and to preserve the purity of European blood. (See NUREMBERG LAWS.) AUSCHWITZ Auschwitz was the site of one of the largest extermination camps. In August 1942 the camp was expanded and eventually consisted of three sections: Auschwitz I - the main camp; Auschwitz II (Birkenau) - the extermination camp; Auschwitz III (Monowitz) - the I.G. Farben labor camp, also known as Buna. In addition, Auschwitz had 48 sub camps. It bacame the largest center for Jewish extermination. AXIS The Axis powers originally included Nazi Germany, Italy, and Japan who signed a pact in Berlin on September 27, 1940, to divide the world into their spheres of respective political interest.

  • Munich in the 1920S
    International Journal of Humanities and Social Science Vol. 1 No. 20; December 2011 Hitler’s Beer Hall Politics: A Reassessment based on New Historical Scholarship Jeffrey Gaab, Ph. D. Professor of History Department of History, Economics, and Politics SUNY College Farmingdale 2350 Broadhollow Road Farmingdale, New York. USA 11735. Abstract As the eightieth anniversary of Adolf Hitler’s accession to power in Germany approaches in 2013, recent scholarship has revised Hitler’s description of his formative experiences. This new scholarship demonstrates that Hitler’s time in Munich was far more significant than his period in Vienna. The new secondary literature demonstrates conclusively that Munich, not Vienna, became the “school of his life.” It was in Munich, as a “beer hall agitator,” where Hitler learned the political skills he would later employ to outmaneuver Germany’s professional politicians and seize power in 1933. Ian Kershaw has described Hitler’s years in Munich as “the years of his political apprenticeship.” Hitler developed an “aggressive obstinacy” during his years in Munich that lead to his political success. The “aggressive obstinacy” developed after numerous experiences in Munich’s beer halls. This paper argues that the road to the Reich’s Chancellery in 1933 lead through Munich’s beer halls in the 1920s. Key Words: Adolf Hitler, Germany, Third Reich, National Socialism, Munich, Beer Hall. Introduction In Mein Kampf, Adolf Hitler wrote that his political development occurred during his time in Vienna before he came to Germany in 1913. In Vienna, Hitler wrote, “I obtained the foundations for a philosophy in general and a political view in particular which later I only needed to supplement in detail, but which never left me.” In fact, Hitler argues that his political “awakening” caused him to leave Vienna for Munich.

After the loss of World War I, Germany had to accept full responsibility for starting the war. Many Germans were shocked and angered over the terms of the treaty which deprived Germany of significant military power and territory, and imposed financial penalties. Allied delegates in the Hall of Mirrors at Versailles witness the German delegation’s acceptance of the terms of the Treaty Of Versailles, the treaty formally ending World War I.

  • Book Two the ARTIST
    Chapter V – A Well Respected Man 159 Book Two THE ARTIST 160 Chapter V – A Well Respected Man Chapter V - A Well Respected Man 161 A WELL RESPECTED MAN The business of the Civil Service is the orderly management of decline. William Armstrong In the Year of the Lord 1889, the Austrian Emperor Francis Joseph celebrated his fifty-ninth birthday and forty-first anniversary of his reign over the vast Empire of Austria and Hungary; when he died, in 1916, he had ruled the state for sixty-eight years. The realm was huge - covering over 180,000 square miles or about 450,000 square kilometres. The emperor's domains stretched, in the east-west axis, from Czernowitz on the Dniester River in today's Ukraine to Vorarlberg on the Swiss border, and, in the north-south axis, from the lower Elbe River near Aussig to Ragusa in the Bosnian Hercegovina, two thirds down the eastern Adriatic coast. Ethnically and thus politically, however, these territories were hopelessly divided. The racial diversity of the Imperial population included Germans in Austria, Hungary and the Sudetenland; Czechs in Bohemia and Moravia; Slovaks to their east; Poles in western Galicia and Ruthenians, Catholic Ukrainians, in the eastern part of it; Magyars in Hungary and Transylvania interspersed with some more Germans and Romanians; Slovenes, Friaulians and Italians south of the Julian Alps; and finally Croats, Bosnians, Albanians, Montenegrinos and Serbs in and around the Balkan mountains. All these groups fought incessant but mostly inconclusive battles over appointments, representation and influence in the empire and its court, while a laborious civil administration struggled with the actual governance of the multitudes.
