More Hitler notes today. Thats what today was about. We found out more things about Hitler. Things like why maybe he didn't like Jews. Even more so we found out that Hitler wasn't always doing good. He was out in the streets homeless and going to soup kitchens begging for food. I couldn't belive it when Ms. Ingram told us this. I though Hitler had always lived the googd life. Since he grew up living the good life. I guess that everyone goes through a ruff time a least once in their life time.

Today's class went really well. We found out more things about Hilter, like what lead him to dislike Jews. for example the doctor that couldn't do anything to help Adolf's mother, he was a Jew. I kind of feel bad for Hitler, like when his sibilings died at an early age, his father was an alcoholic, his mother died, and he wasn't able to become an artist. although I do feel bad for him, that still doesn't give him the right to treat others wrong.

Today's class went incredibly well. I learned so many things about Adi and his family. It's sad that he lost some of his siblings when they were young. Adolf was young when his siblings past away. For example, his brother Edmund died because he got the measels at age 6. I agree with Mireya and Erika. I have a better understanding on why Adolf acted "immature" and as if he didn't care during the Holocaust. I didn't know that his "father" drank a lot and was very strict and cruel. I knew Adolf had a rough childhood, but some things were knew to me. I knew he loved to draw and wanted to become an artist. I didn't know that Adolf dropped out of school at age 16. I also didn't know he had a problem getting girls. Like what he did to Stephanie; following her around was creapy. I didn't know that he would "stalk" her. I was shocked when he "passed" a French exam only if he didn't return to the school. That was just sad.

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!! :)

Hitler

today we learned about Early Adolf Hitler. He wasn't a bad kid. His family was a bit disfunctional. His father was a abusive drunk, and that was okay for society during that time.

Todays class went really well. Everything we learned about Hitlers childhood really gave me a better of understanding of why he might have done some of the things he did. I guess I can see why Hitler had so many issues. One of the most interesting things I learned today was that Hitlers original last name was supposed to be spelled Hiedler but because of a spelling error it became Hitler. Todays lesson just really gave me a better understanding of Hitler.

NOTES!!

I can't believe the history of the Shicklgruber family. How can the mom have so many issues? Now I think I can see why he behaved the way that he did. I don't agree that it is an excuse, but the dad is a jerk. I love saying the last name because it sounds very funny. I can't picture our books or the people talking about Adolf Shicklgruber. I can see how he was a very demanding boy and it fit his attitude of taking power. I would hate to have him in class. Although I believe Ms. Ingram would smak that attitude out of him. :D Ingram or Thompson would not allow that kind of behavior! I think that another reason why he behaved lkike that was because he felt very powerful with having control at home. I cannot picture my little brother being the "man" of the household. I would not let him. I wonder when we would finish this set of notes. It is incredible the number of slides it takes to talk about Adolf Shicklgruber Hitler. :D
