Question: Did Hitler had a “double personality” like some “Dr. Jekyl and Mr. Hyde”?

Of course his victims will reject completely my comments and I understand. However reading several books, “The Mind of Adolf Hitler” by Walter C. Langer, “The Psychopatic God” by Robert G.L. Waite and other biographies, make me think this guy was some “Dr. Jekyl and Mr. Hyde” character. He could be “nice” with his secretaries, “nice” with his dog German sheppard, “nice” with the kids [small German kids were taught to call him "Uncle Adolf"] and seem “lovable” with certain people like young peasant girls. Even cried for a dead canary once. Yet isn’t this the same guy who ordered a mass extermination war and killed 6 millions Jews in the gas chamber? Really some humans are weird. Feedback, please.
Yes, he persecuted many more victims. But Jews seem to be his “favorite” to hate.

Answer: Hitler did have multiple health problems, other than obvious mental issues he was known to have severe gastrointestinal discomfort, for which he was prescribed some more than questionable remedies, such as dried Hungarian peasants feces, but i digress, we cannot confirm mental health issues as he didn’t have regular phsycological evaluations, we can only assume that he was disturbed at some level, but i believe that you have to dismiss claims of multiple personality’s without further evidence. If anyone was more disturbed i would say it would have to be either Joseph Stalin, or Edward Gein. look them up if you wish, particularly Gein, he was… odd to say the least.

but don’t forget Hitler didn’t just kill jews, there were another 6.5million, Slavs, POW’s, Homosexuals, Gypsies, and Blacks. So 12.5 Million total, but Stalin had over 25 Million people killed.

Google, Yahoo, others work to make search engines better at scanning the Web

Imagine yourself a monk in the Dark Ages. The abbot comes to you after vespers and asks you to report on the Bible’s treatment of, say, sloth. “For the love of God!” you’d think. “How am I going to find every occurrence of sloth in the Vulgate?” Unless you had the Bible memorized, you would have… Google – Yahoo – Searching – Search Engines – Microsoft

Question: Does anyone know a free download ebook or free printable on Martin Luther King?

I have Martin Luther King stuff – but none of it “really cool” – we can watch the speech videos, read biographies off the internet, looked at maps, talked about Rosa Parks and Ruby Bridges – but I was wondering if there were any interesting kids books out there on Martin Luther King – or fiction books on his time that aren’t too graphic – and if there’s free ebooks or printable books that’s even better! Anything for an 8 year old girl that likes to listen to chapter books like Nancy Drew, Babysitter Club, Animal Ark, Magic Tree House, Box Car Kids, etc? She didn’t take much to the Dear America diary series. Maybe a book on a kids eye view of the times?
