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(XoJennaoX @ Apr 15 2005, 4:26 PM) but for some reason it doesn't make sense to me to blame Hitler's environment while also saying his environment caused him to be the person he became, because then anybody could have became hitler, reguardless. 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? ok ur first sentence didn't make sense. How can you say that it doesn't make sense to you, for me to say that I'm blaming his enviroment while also saying that his enviroment cause him to become the person he is? Example: If hitler was in a family that consists a mother that takes good care of him, and a father that isn't racist and doesn't discriminate jews or people in other religion. Its less likely that he (hitler) would hate those people and kill them. Cuz no one told him all the bad things the jews have done. But since hitlers enviroment had violence. Discrimination and racism he was influenced by what's happening around him and would later on cause him to hate them. You are becoming redundant by saying that one1 could become hitler. Like I said in my previous posts. It depends what kind of a person is. . . If the person is like hitler and then grew up in the same enviroment he did then yes its possible. Now I'm being redundant. |
