Adolf Hitler was one of the most evil leaders in human history. He dreamed of making Germany the

most powerful country in the world. This caused a war which cost 30,000,000 lives in Europe alone and left Germany itself

divided and in ruins. Hitler hated Jews, communists and gypsies

and led to the organized murder over 6,000,000 men, women and

children.
