Scholars often argue World War I served as the perfect crucible for Hitler’s rise to power. Award-winning author Thomas Weber thinks otherwise. Join us as he discusses the dictator’s formative experiences as a soldier, demonstrating how and why he aggressively policed the myth of his wartime experiences. Examining Hitler’s political epiphany in 1919, Weber shows how the path from 1918-19 to Auschwitz was far less twisted than commonly believed.
Presented in conjunction with the centennial exhibition Crucible: Life & Death in 1918.
Presented in partnership with the Midwest Center for Holocaust Education and the National Archives at Kansas City.
