Introduction to Adolph Hitler

Adolph Hitler was the main person responsible for the crimes committed during the Holocaust.  After a bad childhood and a young life of wandering, Hitler developed ideas about how he wanted the world to be run.  His strong hatred for Jews and his love of absolute authority were two things that made the Holocaust a reality.  Hitler was an eloquent speaker, able to motivate almost anyone for his cause.  In 1933, he was named chancellor of Germany.  Soon after, he had absolute power.  Hitler's war machine spread all over Europe in his quest for domination.
