TEST: 
LOOK AT THE  
FACES IN THE CROWD 

Which kid in this class picture is Hitler?

____________________________________________________________


About the top picture - here is what is written in the book, Photoanalysis by Robert U. Akeret. "Find the Fuhrer in this photograph.  One of the children in this school picture is Alois Schicklgruber, or Adolf Hitler, as he later became.  It's a typical fourth-grade class, like the kind any of us might have been in if we had attended an all-boys school. The difference is that one of these boys as an adult tried to dominate the world.

"Study the faces, the body postures, the positioning.  Imagine for a moment that your are Hitler as a fourth-grader, and you already have some mind-blowing plans.  Where would you place yourself as this class photo was about to be taken?  Holding the fourth-grade sign?  Close to the teacher?


"Hitler is in fact in the exact center of the top row, not only central, but also slightly higher than anyone else in the photo.  "Deutschland uber Alles" was the German World War II battle cry, and in this early photo it''s "Hitler uber Alles!"  What the photo shows, in all too chilling dimensions, is that Hitler's personality was set at a very early age." [Page 143]  Further question: agree or disagree or undecided?

Can you find the 2 sisters in this Sunday School photo?


In the book, Photoanalysis, by Robert U. Akeret, we read the following about this picture which has the 2 sisters. "This is a group of Sunday school girls with their teacher. Look carefully at each student.  Which two girls would you pick as being sisters?  What clues would you use as evidence?


"Parents frequently dress siblings alike, even when they aren't twins, and here the two girls with the same tilt of the hats, and the same coat with white collars, are sisters. Now that you know, you can also tell that their facial features are similar." [pp. 64-65]
