Hitler's Death
Adolf Hitler died on April 30th 1945, when he commited suicide by shooting himself in the head. This all happened in Berlin in Hitler's Führerbunker.
The Russians had been invading Berlin and the Nazi forces were defending the capital and their leader. For the past several months, Hitler and his VIP's were locked in his Führerbunker. Three weeks earlier, Adolf told his top Generals and his mistress, Eva Braun, he would be killing himself. The day before (of the day of I can't recall) Adolf married Eva Braun. Adolf told his top general to burn his body after he was finished with suicide so he wouldn't be humilated in Berlin. He and Eva were locked in his room, they both took a cyanide capsule then shooting themselves. Their bodies were burned after as promised.
This ended the Holocaust and World War II. The Nazi leaders then came our of the Führerbunker and made peace with the Allies.
One man changed the face of the world. Looking almost invincible, one shot ended his life and the worst war the world has ever seen to this day.

Hitler's Adulthood
He was convinced that it was a Jewish professor that had rejected his art work; he became convinced that a Jewish doctor had been responsible for his mother’s death; he cleared the snow-bound paths of beautiful town houses in Vienna where rich people lived and he became convinced that only Jews lived in these homes. By 1910, his mind had become warped and his hatred of the Jews - known as anti-Semitism - had become set.
Hitler called his five years in Vienna "five years of hardship and misery". In his book called "Mein Kampf", Hitler made it clear that his time in Vienna was entirely the fault of the Jews -"I began to hate them".
Hitler later became the leader of the Nazi party. Poisoning millions of innocent minds, he led almost all of Germany to believe Jews were at the fault of everything that had been happening. He starting taking Jews from countries all over Europe and transferring them to concentration camps where they were worked to death. This all but started the Holocaust. Tens of millions of Jews were killed in a time span of less than 10 years.

Hitler's Schooling Years
Hitler was not popular at school and he made few friends. He was lazy and he rarely excelled at school work. Hitler only did well at two subjects, those two being Gym class and art class. Other classes he was only claimed to be "Adequate" or "Satisfactory". After leaving school, he started to move towards Vienna to follow his dream of becoming an artist.
These dreams were nearly crushed when his mother died of cancer when he was 18. People said that Adolf would sit next to his mothers death bed for hours drawing sketches of her as she lay dying.
Once in Vienna, the Vienna Academy of Art, rejected Adolf Hitler from joining the school because he had no Leaving School Certificate. Hitler refused to be rejected and showed them pictures he had done as evidence that he indeed had talent. Once again he was declined because he had very limited people in them.
Hitler had no form of income and began living in a doss house with with tramps. To make money, he began clearing snow off of pathways and painting postcards which he wished to sell to people. At this period in Hitlers life was when the hatred for Jews started to conjure in his mind.

Adolf's Boyhood
Although his father did not approve, Adolf started to pursue his dream as an artist. Young Hitler did well in the monastery school and also took part in the boys' choir. He was said to have had a fine singing voice. Years later Hitler would say the solemn pageantry of the high mass and other Catholic ceremonies was quite intoxicating and left a very deep impression. As a young boy he idolized the priests and for two years seriously considered becoming a priest himself. Adolf's little brother Edmund, age 6, died of measles. Adolf, the boy who loved war play and its 'pretend' death now had to confront genuine death for the first time. It seems to have shaken him badly. To make matters worse, the little boy was buried in the cemetery next to their house. From his bedroom window, Adolf could see the cemetery.Years later, neighbors recalled that young Adolf was sometimes seen at night sitting on the wall of the cemetery gazing up at the stars."I thought that once my father saw what little progress I was making at the [technical school] he would let me devote myself to the happiness I dreamed of," Hitler explained in Mein Kampf.
