With his lessons centered on the rise of dictators, notably those in the modern era, it was inevitable that Buckingham Charter Magnet High School history teacher Dave Hawkins would devote some hours to Adolf Hitler.

After all, the Fuhrer (“leader” in German), who came to power as chancellor in 1933, envisioned a “Thousand Year Reich” ruled by a master “Aryan race.” The Austrian native’s dreams eventually engulfed much of the civilized world in war in the 1930s and ’40s and his “final solution” policy led to the systematic, mass murder of an estimated 6 million European Jews and millions of others in the Sho’ah, the Hebrew word for the Holocaust. It is remembered today worldwide, and especially and solemnly observed in Israel.
