Despite becoming the dictator of Germany, Hitler was not born there. Hitler was born in Braunau am Inn, Austria on April 20, 1889.
Hitler's parents were Alois (1837-1903) and Klara (1860-1907) Hitler.
Hitler had only one sibling that survived childhood, Paula (1896-1960).
At the end of 1908, Hitler's mother died of breast cancer.
After his mother's death, Hitler spent four years living on the streets of Vienna, selling postcards of his artwork to make a little money.
No one is quite sure where or how Hitler picked up his virulent antisemitism. Some say it was because of the questionable identity of his grandfather (was Hitler's grandfather Jewish?). Others say Hitler was furious at a Jewish doctor that let his mother die. However, it is just as likely that Hitler picked up a hatred for Jews while living on the streets of Vienna, a city known at the time for its antisemitism.
.Dr. Bloch, the Jewish physician who cared for Hitler’s mother, noted that in nearly 50 years of his career as a doctor, he had never seen a young man as broken with grief as Adolf Hitler was at the death of his mother. He had carried her picture with him down to the last days in the bunker
Hitler weighed about 155 pounds and stood just less than 5' 10" tall. His weight is just an estimate because he refused to undress even for medical examinations

There are soft corners of most cruel men in the history

Interesting. What did Jews did to Vienna for getting such sentiments.
