Summary:
Hitler's youth was marked by failure. A poor student, he never finished high school. He turned to art, but was twice rejected by the Vienna Academy of Fine Arts for lack of talent. At his lowest point, he survived on his meager orphan's pension and stayed in a hostel. In exclusive interviews, people who knew him probe the origins of his vicious anti-Semitism. Newly discovered documents shed light on his remarkable rise to political power. Find out how his trials and failures transformed themselves into a hunger for power and destruction that would plunge the world into misery.
