Bibliography of Adolf Hitler
This bibliography of Adolf Hitler is a list of some non-fiction texts in English written about and by him.
Thousands of books and other texts have been written about him, so this is far from an all-inclusive list: Writing in 2006, Ben Novak, an historian who specializes in Hitler studies, estimated that in 1975 there were more than 50,000 books and scholarly articles while these numbers rose to 120,000 in 1995, amounting to some 24 books and articles every day, also adding that such "number is growing exponentially."[1]
The list has been arranged into groups to make it more manageable.

"We like to distance ourselves from anything to do with him because he was an essentially evil character," he tells NPR's Neal Conan. "But actually, many of the ideas that he had and expressed were very ordinary ideas, and they were ideas that more or less everybody had at that time."
Wilson argues that many of the modern attitudes toward racism, homophobia and political correctness in the Western world are a direct response to who Hitler was and what he represented. Wilson talks with Conan about the ways Hitler's role in history is mythologized and misunderstood.

SALINA, Kan. (KWCH) - This week marks Holocaust remembrance and with that came an opportunity for a crowd gathered in Salina to hear from a Kansas woman who survived Nazi Germany and told her life story in her 2020 memoir, “Surviving Hitler, Evading Stalin: One Woman’s Remarkable Escape from Nazi Germany.”

“I finally got to the place I was supposed to be,” she said, drawing applause from the Salina audience.
Janzen’s journey to a new life began in February 1945 when Russian soldiers invaded her family’s farm in Germany. Her memoir, detailing how she started over in Kansas has inspired many, including a high school classmate.
“The situation she had to endure during her time, it just…She’s a very strong woman, let’s put it that way,” former classmate Hazel Tilton said.
Janzen’s story also inspires newer generations, including school children across Kansas. For them, she has a
