TL;DRAbstract
On the cover of Ron Rosenbaum's book Explaining Hitler is a compelling portrait of human contradiction. After your eyes leave the title, they are drawn to the background, where a photograph of an infant Adolph Hitler becomes more obvious. As one stares into the infant's eyes to search for clues, there are none to be found. This is a baby with all a baby's innocence, awe, and excitement of human life. The picture stands in stark contrast to the name that became synonymous with hatred and misery for millions. The simple juxtaposition of name and photo commands the observer to ask: between then and now, what happened?
