Love some of the answer from the learned posters of this forum.
I will not come and tell you that I research all of this, but I really thought
that the story be of interest.
I am know reading a book by a very good young french playwright, name Eric Emanuel Schmitt.
The title is "La part de l'autre", in english "The other' share".
OK, on that date, a jury of painters, etchers, architects and sketchers decided that a young guy had no
future, no conventional imagination, not anti-semite enough to be admitted in the school of Fine Arts.
The guy's name was Adolf Hitler.
The author concludes by asking, what would have happen if the Academy had decided otherwise.
Hitler, in the school of Fine Arts, would have change the course of his life, but also would have change
the course of the world. What would have happen to the 20th century without nazism.
Would there have been a WW2, 55 millions deaths, of these six millions jews, in a universe where
Adolf Hitler would have been an artist, a painter.
The doctor who treated his mother and him, Dr. Bloch, who he revered, was jewish.
He did idolized Sigmund Freud, who treated him because nothing was going up.
I sure do hope that the text above is of some interest to the people of the board.
As for me, started reading at 10 last night and went to sleep at six this morning,
could not stop reading, and thinking.
