Ep 184: Rejection turned to Destruction - Hitler, Pol Pot, & Stalin
We've all heard how Adolf Hitler was rejected from art school... today we'll dive into the details, how being a poor non-student in Vienna led him to the back rooms of rebellion - and eventually to the horrors of WWII. Did you know that Pol Pot of Cambodia was similarly rejected by the Paris elite while in college? Also, Stalin was rejected by the Church and kicked out of the seminary. Would history have been the same if these guys had found a more productive outlet in their 20s???
