Hitler, Adolf: School
built 277 days ago
Although he received the cruel treatment at home, Adolf did very well in the monastery school. But at the age of nine, he began to get into trouble. A priest caught Adolf smoking, but did not punish him. At this time he changed schools due to the family moving. Adolf found school easy and put forth little effort to achieve good grades. He ... discovered that he had a talent for drawing sketches of buildings from memory (History Place 3).

Adolf Hitler was brought up in his family's religion by his Roman Catholic parents, but as a school boy he began to reject the Church and Catholicism. After he had left home, he never attended Mass or received the Sacraments.

Now attending technical school in Linz, Adolf went to live at a boys' boarding house. He was remembered by the woman who ran the boarding house as a "nervous, awkward boy, who spent most of his time reading and drawing" (History Place 5).
