Have a look at the picture of the class taken at the
beginning of the 19th century. In this picture there is
something which will provide head lines in the news papers
for years and will be carved in history forever. Someone in that
group on innocent children will make an unprecedented mark in
human history.
Ofcourse there is no way we will know in advance, but with hinesight, if we have
checked very carefully the posture and expression of each child – in the way and methods
we use in photoanalysis – we may notice what we have missed in that first glance we usually take at those kind of pictures.
In this picture we see the teacher sitting in the middle and around him all the pupils. Amongst them there is one on the most monstrous dictators human kind have known. Now look again: How will he stand, where will he stand, what will be his facial expression? Since we do not know how he looked as a child we will address the issue in a reverse way: to conclude what we know about the man - to the child. Where do you think a 6 years old child – who will one day become a nation's leader obsessed with self greatness ideas, who "invented" the race theory and acted to its implementaion? Will he he sparate himself from the other children and stand in the side for example? Or maybe he will stand in the front before the teacher? Or perheps in the center? What do you think? We are looking here at Adolf's Hitler class...And now the answer: Little Adolf is standing in the top row in the center. His head is up, a sustantial territorial gap between him and the children from both his sides and his head is hige above the heads of all the other children in the top row.
