Adolf Hitler Research Paper

Germeny surrendered in the first worls war; many soilders, of course, were injured or killed. One of those soilders was Adolf Hitler. Hitler had been injured twice, and was recovering from the second injury he had aquired when the surrender had happened. He was a soilder for germeny in World War two, although he was austrian. He also was not very happy with the way the war had turned out for 'his' country. Hitler joined the political crowd and began to work his way up the political ladder.

I do not actually know why we study the Holocaust, but I do think it is extremly important! Why we study the Holocaust and World War two is really something I can not really explain. Maybe we learn about it because it shows how awful total discrimination is. Maybe because it shows what it was like forgermany and it's people, instead of how we saw it. Because America wasn't part of the whole thing, more like one forth of it all. Again, I do not actually know why we study this, but i do appreciate that it's not going on this badly anymore, and that people can get along enough to stop a powerful threat.
