Teaching Students About Hitler’s Early Life

Here are some key points to keep in mind while teaching about Hitler’s early life:
1. Begin by emphasizing the importance of understanding different periods of history and how they have influenced our world today.
2. Introduce Hitler’s early life within the context of the unstable political climate of Germany after the First World War and the difficulties the country faced at the time.
3. Discuss Hitler’s childhood and how significant events during that period might have shaped his beliefs and later actions.
4. Introduce Hitler’s struggle as an artist, why he failed to enter art school, and how that might have contributed to his feelings of bitterness and anger.
5. Talk about how Hitler became a member of the Nazi Party and how he rose to power in Germany.
6. Finally, make sure to emphasize the negative aspects of Hitler’s ideology and how it led to the devastation of World War II.
Always remember to maintain an objective, non-political, and historically accurate viewpoint when discussing Hitler’s life with your students. Additionally, you should always be aware of the potential impact that sensitive topics such as this may have on vulnerable students and seek professional guidance and support where necessary.
