When Hitler was a child, he had a lung infection and at the age of 16 he was forced to
leave school because of the sickness and poor work. The reason why he doesn’t like
Jewish people is because when he was 17 year old, his mom had breast cancer and was
very sick. She called a Jewish doctor name Edward Bloke and on the next day, December
21, 1907, she died because of a pill. After his mom’s death, he move to Vienna and lived
in shelters. In Vienna there were a lot of anti-Semitism people making Jewish people look
bad and that was when Hitler started being prejudice to Jews. He was rejected twice by
the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna (1907–1908). Hitler said he first became an anti-Semite
in Vienna which had a large Jewish community, including Orthodox Jews; a Jewish
person who is very religion. After the second refusal from the Academy of Arts, Hitler
gradually ran out of money. By 1909, he sought refuge in a homeless shelter, and by the
beginning of 1910 had settled permanently into a house for poor working men. He made
spending money by painting tourist postcards of Vienna scenery. His anti-Semitism
during this period was likely non-existent, since a Jewish resident of the house named
Hanisch was helping him sell his postcards. It was in Vienna that Hitler became an active
anti-Semite. He was slowly influenced over time by the writings of the race ideologist
and anti-Semite.
