Mein Erwachen: The Hitler Diaries, Volume I: 1889-1913
The Hitler Diaries: Volume I - Mein Erwachen (My Awakening)
"Before the Reich. Before the war. There was a boy with a dream."This first volume of The Hitler Diaries series explores the early life of Adolf Hitler, from his childhood in Linz and Leonding to his first steps toward adulthood in Vienna. Told through fictional diary entries spanning 1899 to 1913, Mein Erwachen paints an intimate portrait of a young man shaped by grief, poverty, pride, and longing.
We witness Hitler's love for his mother Klara, his resentment toward his father Alois, and his growing disillusionment with school, church, and society. His idealism, artistic ambition, and early failures unfold against the backdrop of the crumbling Austro-Hungarian Empire. From emotional moments with his sister Paula to chance encounters in caf s, art schools, and alleyways, each entry adds a layer to the slow formation of the viewpoint that would one day shake the world.
This is not the Hitler of war and speeches. This is the boy who would become that man, and in that becoming, Mein Erwachen lays the psychological foundations for everything to come.
The Hitler Diaries is a bold and provocative work of historical fiction, written as if from the private journals of Adolf Hitler himself. Blending real events, figures, and locations with fictionalized introspection, the series offers an, immersive journey through the inner world of a man whose legacy reshaped the 20th century in blood and fire. Across four volumes, readers witness Hitler's psychological evolution, from his early ambition and disillusionment to the rise and collapse of the Nazi regime, told with unsettling authenticity in his own imagined voice.
