Here's some context for our novel:

1) Some of you asked about Hitler's childhood.  Here's a nine-minute video from the Biography Channel with some information about him.  It may be boring to you.  Skip to whatever parts are interesting.

2)  Here is a link to read survivors' stories. 

3)  On this site you'll find a photo essay about Hitler made by TIME.

4)  If you have questions, you may find some answers here.
