The Young Hitler I Knew -- August Kubizek
This material originally appeared at http://www.faem.com/books/ JR The Young Hitler I Knew -- August Kubizek Introduction -- H.R. Trevor-Roper Editor note: Roper was a jew reporter with close ties to British Intelligence. He came on the scene with his ridiculous claims about the "gas chambers" and "ovens" at Dachau. Thereafter, the British government stated that Dachau was not a "death camp" and no such facilities existed there. All the the so-called "extermination camps" curiously ended up in Soviet held territory. That should tell you something. This book deals with the darkest, perhaps the most formative, and therefore, in some sense, the most interesting period of Hitler's life. His public life is now fully-indeed oppressively-documented; his mature character, in its repellent fixity, is now fully known. But his crucial early years, the years between leaving school and joining the Bavarian army are, in the language of one of his biographers [Thomas Orr, Das War Hitler -- Revue, Munich, 1952, No. 42], "impenetrable." And yet those are the years in which that grim character, that unparalleled will power, that relentless systematic mind was formed. Any light on those undocumented years is welcome. The light shed by this book is more than that: it penetrates and reveals the character of the young Hitler as no other book has done. But before showing this let us examine the meagre framework of fact into which it is fitted. Hitler left school at Steyr in September 1905, and went to live with his widowed mother in Linz. He was then aged sixteen.

Hitler Avant Hitler. Essai D'interprétation Psychanalytique
LE LIEU DE LA PERSONNE Collection dirigée par Michel-Claude Jalard Des grands personnages qui ont marqué leur époque, il ne nous reste plus que des traces : quelques dates, quelques faits, quelques souvenirs rapportés, quelques confidences écrites, une œuvre accomplie. Mais où est leur personne, quel est le lieu où elle se définit, le lieu où elle a lieu ? La présente collection se pro- pose d'éclairer cette « mise en scène », à l'intersection des conflits imaginaires, historiques et politiques. La théorie psychanalytique y est mise au service d'une re- cherche où s'inscrit la ren- contre d'un écrivain avec telle figure significative de l'histoire, des lettres ou des arts.

Avant-propos Hitler aurait cette année quatre-vingt-trois ans. Il pourrait donc vivre encore, et le monde serait tout autre. Mais qui peut réellement prétendre qu'il ne survit pas ? Le monde actuel est ce qu'il est parce qu'Hitler a existé. Les méthodes politiques qui lui ont permis de tenir en main tout un pays, d'en faire réagir tous les citoyens comme s'ils n'étaient qu'un seul homme, demeurent aujourd'hui encore d'une nou- veauté, d'une efficacité telles que les gouvernements, même les plus éloignés en esprit de l'hitlérisme, ne peuvent s'empêcher de les utiliser.

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.

Aus Den Gemeinden Von Burgenland: Revisiting the Question of Adolf Hitler’S Paternal Grandfather
1 Aus den Gemeinden von Burgenland: Revisiting the question of Adolf Hitler’s paternal grandfather Abstract Hans Frank was Adolf Hitler’s personal attorney. In Frank’s memoir, published seven years after his execution in 1946 at the International Military Tribunal at Nuremberg, Frank claimed to have uncovered evidence in 1930 that Hitler’s paternal grandfather was a Jewish man living in Graz, Austria, in the household where Hitler’s grandmother was employed. Contemporary historians have largely dismissed Frank’s claim, primarily on the grounds that there were purportedly no Jews living in Graz in 1836, when Hitler’s father Alois Schicklgruber was conceived. This consensus can be traced to a single historian, Nikolaus von Preradovich, who claimed that “not a single Jew” (kein einziger Jude) was living in Graz prior to 1856. No independent scholarship has confirmed Preradovich’s conjecture. In this paper, evidence is presented that there was in fact eine kleine, nun angesiedelte Gemeinde – “a small, now settled community” – of Jews living in Graz before 1850. The contemporary consensus regarding Hitler’s paternal grandfather does not have a strong evidentiary basis. Other evidence, deriving from earlier sources, suggests that the contemporary consensus may be incorrect. Avenues for further research which might help to clarify the question are suggested. Keywords: Adolf Hitler; Austrian history; Burgenland; Jewish history; Nazi Germany 2 Hans Frank Hans Frank was Adolf Hitler’s personal attorney beginning in 1928 (Schenk, 2008: 60 – 61). He was appointed governor-general of Poland after its occupation by the Germans in 1939 and continuing until German defeat in 1945.
