Adolf Hitler: Early Life
Born on April 20, 1889, Adolf Hitler grew up on the Upper Austrian border town. Hitler was born into the care of Klara and Alois Hitler. His father was a mid-level custom official. In the year of 1876, Alois Schickelgruber changed his name the christian name of Hitler. Five years after the birth of Hitler, Alois married his mother. Speculation of Alois Hitler’s illegitimacy rose during the 1920’s- which continues to be a very popular subject today- that Hitler’s grandfather was Jewish. Although no credible evidence has surfaced to support this claim, two most likely men to have been Hitler's grandfather are the man who married his grandmother and that man's brother.
Linz
After moving to Linz in the year of 1898, Hitler began seeking a career in visual arts. Through many arguments and discussions, Hitler’s father tried persuading his son to enter the Habsburg civil service. After Alois Hitler’s death in 1903, Hitler eventually convinced his mother to allow him to pursue his dream of becoming an artist. While Klara lay dying in bed after being diagnosed with breast cancer, in the year of 1907 in Autumn, Hitler took the entrance exam to the Vienna Academy, but unfortunately was declined. Weeks following Klara’s death, Hitler decided to move to Vienna in hope of somehow once again gaining acceptance to the Academy of Arts.
Vienna
Between February 1908 and May 19013, Hitler had lived in Vienna. Growing up in a middle class family, he had relatively few contacts with Jewish people, in the region of Habsburg state, where many German nationalists grew disappointed that the German Empire had not included German -speaking regions of the Habsburg Monarchy. A year after his arrival to vienna, Hitler’s residence became homeless shelters. The end of his generous inheritance left by his parents left Hitler in impoverishment. Even though he was left without a penny, he still refused to listen to those of his surviving relatives to enroll in the civil service.
Severe poverty hit Hitler by the end of 1909. As winter came along, Hitler still on the streets after his sources of income had dried up. However one last gift from his aunt enabled him to create business by painting watercolor scenes of Vienna . The paintings offered him enough money to live on up until he moved to Munich in 1913. After his depart to Munich, Hitler began to experience the general anti semitism that was common among the middle-class German nationalists. During his stay in Vienna, Hitler had personal and business relationships with Jews. This may have triggered the discretion of his actual feelings towards Jews. Not until the end of World War I, Hitler began to demonstrate his adoption of “anti semitic” ideology.
