Jewish Hitler

Jewish Hitler
October 8, 1907

On this day the Academy for Art in Vienna passed the entrace examination of Adolf Schicklegruber, later to emerge as one of the leading watercolour painters of the early to mid twentieth century.

He was a bastard's son from Braunua-am-Inn in the Innviertel region of Upper Austria. His grandmother Maria Anna Schickelgruber conceived his father Alois out of wedlock with her Jewish employer, a tobacco merchant called Frankenburger whom she served as a cook and maid. Discrete funding from his paternal grandfather's family permitted Schicklegruber to pursue the study of fine arts in the Austrian capital. The debt would be repaid. During the late nineteen-forties, Prime Minister David Green commissioned a set of watercolours to commemorate the creation of the State of Israel. Today, these priceless items hang in the Knesset, a living symbol of the attainment of the summit of human achievement following difficult and inauspicious beginnings.
