Born in Braunau am Inn, Austria, on April 20, 1889, Hitler was the son of a fifty-two-year-old Austrian customs official, Alois Schickelgruber Hitler,
and his third wife, a young peasant girl, Klara Poelzl, both from the
backwoods of lower Austria. The young Hitler was a resentful,
discontented child. Moody, lazy, of unstable temperament, he was deeply
hostile towards his strict, authoritarian father and strongly attached
to his indulgent, hard-working mother, whose death from cancer in
December 1908 was a shattering blow to the adolescent Hitler.

India to display Kallenbach papers about Mahatma Gandhi
Hundreds of letters, papers and photographs related to Mahatma Gandhi will go on display in India's capital, Delhi, from 30 January.
The archive belonged to Hermann Kallenbach who became a close friend of Gandhi when he lived in South Africa.
The collection will be displayed for the public at the National Archives.
"This is a major collection of Gandhi's early years," Professor Mushirul Hasan director-general of the National Archives told the BBC.
