As a young person you travel back in time to pre-World War II Germany, intending to kill the infant Adolf Hitler in order to prevent the horrors of the Holocaust. Disguising yourself as a housekeeper, you infiltrate the Hitler household, where you experience the environment that possibly shaped Hitler's warped thinking - his abusive, racist father and his weak, ineffective mother.
But killing a baby is much more difficult than you'd imagined, and though you try several times to commit the act, you find yourself either unable or prevented from doing it. Finally, you steal the infant out of his crib and though you are followed by the child's nanny, manage to leap from a bridge, drowning both yourself and the baby Hitler. But history may not be changed! The maid spies a mentally ill gypsy woman sitting with her baby, and buys the child, passing him off to the unwitting Hitler parents as their own baby. What do you think? Was Hitler born evil (was it in his innate nature to be who he was) or was it other factors? What do you do? Would you kill baby Hitler, or would you not? Would you sacrifice yourself? If you do kill him, you must take the guilty plea of having committed murder on an innocent life. Taking note that Hitler (as an infant) is completely innocent and you yourself have to kill him. It is harder than it sounds. |

QUOTE So are you saying that anyone can become hitler as long as they grow up in the same environment? no i am not saying that anyone can become hitler as long as they grow up in the same envirmoment he did. although it's entirely possible but you said urself that hitler grew up with his abusive, racist father and his weak, ineffective mother. . . he was influence with whatever surrounded him what his father might have thought him. just depends what kind of a person you are. maybe hitler had lack of confidence and did whatever he was told... |

QUOTE no one is born evil. personalyl, if i had the power to go back in time, i woul dhave removed him from the influences of his youh or alter some of the circumstances which allowed him to come to power... the treaty of versailles, enablement act, etc. again, you are still just - you. You do not have power of any kind. Is it realistic to say you could of done these things? |
