I agree with Mireya's post. Today's class really helped me to better understand why Hitler was so messed up. Honestly, a part of me wanted to laugh at all of the bad things that happened to him in his childhood and younger years, because he deserves all of he bad after everything he did. But at the same time I feel guilty because I think that if maybe just one of those events hadn't happened, his path might have be different and a whole culture wouldn't have been so drastically decreased in population. It pains me to think about not only all of the individual lives that were lost because of Hitler's traumatic childhood, and it is sad and enraging to think that he took all of his sorrows out on people who had done absolutely nothing wrong. I also thought it was really interesting that his last name was meant to be Hiedler. And I totally understand that now we have negative associations with the word or name "Hitler" bc we all know who he is and all of the atrocities he committed., but at the same time, I feel like it still works out. Like if his name had been Hiedler, it wouldn't have that "ring" to it and there is just something about hearing Hitler that sends a chill up my spine. Anyway, I wonder what the world would be like now if Hitler had just gotten some extremely necessary therapy. That is one of the worst parts. Wondering how things would be different. I'm sure the Jewish population today wouldn't be so low. There are so little Jews out there in comparison to the number of people in the world, I think it's around 13 million which is only a bit over double of the Jewish victims of the Holocaust, and that makes me mad bc it didn't have to be that way. But overall, great class! Really kept my attention today!! :)
