Hitler's+Early+Life

We have already learned about Hitler as a child.

Your Task: Each student must find a different 'source' (a picture, short article/speech/diary entry, etc.) and post it here on this page. Remember to give your name. Then you must comment upon the source. This means, write a paragraph (about 6-10 good sentences) telling me why this source is important. What kind of information does it give about Hitler, and why is this information important?

Hitler's father was the illegitimate child of a cook named (Maria Anna) Schickelgruber. This cook, the grandmother of Adolf Hitler, was working for a Jewish family named Frankenburger, when she became pregnant. Frankenburger paid Schickelbruber, a paternity allowance from the time of the child's birth up to his fourteenth year. From a secret report by the Nazi Hans Frank. Written in 1930 By:rollover Hitler's Childhood In Braunau, Austria on April 20, 1889, Adolf Hilter was born to Alois and Klara (Pölzl) Hitler. Adolf had good grades in elementary school, but had poor grades in high school. Adolf's father was harsh and ill-tempered, and wanted him to become a civil servant. Adolf had other plans because he wanted to become an artist. After Alois Hitler died in 1903, Adolf left high school when he was sixteen, and he and his mother lived off of her widow's pension. Not having to work, he spent his time reading books, drawing pictures, and daydreaming. **http://library.thinkquest.org/26742/hitler.html** By:rollover=]
