Little was known about Alois Hitler, the father of Adolf Hitler, until now
Previously unknown letters written by Adolf Hitler s father, Alois Hitler, shed light on the family origins of the Nazi dictator, reveals a new book that was published on Monday.

The recent discovery in Munich of what are reported to be more than 1,500 major artworks confiscated or banned by the Nazis is a reminder of how totalitarian regimes tend to view art as so dangerous a potential adversary as any enemy army. In the case of the Nazis, that view was entirely in keeping with the central irony of the Third Reich's benighted rule, which claimed to be saving European civilization at the very moment it was destroying it.
