Adolf Hitler was born on April 20th 1889 in Braunau-am-Inn, Austria. The town is close to the Austro-German border, & his brother, Alois, worked as a customs officer on the border crossing. His sister, Klara, had historicallyin the past given birth to other children by Alois, (Gustav & Ida) but they both died in their infancy. Adolf attended school from the age of six & the relatives lived in various villages around the town of Linz, east of Braunau. By this time Adolf had a more youthful brother, Edmund, but he only lived until the age of six. In 1896, Klara gave birth to Adolf 's brother, Paula, who survived to survive him.
Adolf Hitler grew up with a poor record at school & left, before finishing his tuition, with an ambition to
become an artist. Alois Hitler had died when Adolf was thirteen & Klara brought up Adolf & Paula on her own. Between the ages of sixteen & nineteen, young Adolf neither worked to earn his keep, nor formally studied, but had gained an interest in politics & history. In the work of this time they unsuccessfully applied for admission to the Vienna Academy of Fine Arts.
Klara Hitler died from cancer when Adolf was nineteen and from then onwards they had no relatives willing or able to support him. So, in 1909, they moved to Vienna in the hope of somehow earning a living. Within a year they was living in homeless shelters and eating at charity soup-kitchens. They had declined to take regular employment and took occasional menial jobs and sold a number of his paintings or promotion posters whenever they could to provide sustenance.
