"Ask Adolph Hitler"

A British education Web site has stirred up
controversy by letting school children go
(virtually) face-to-face with one of the most
notorious Germans of all time, Nazi dictator Adolf
Hitler.

It´s a dream of an opportunity for any student of
modern history: to get inside the head of one of
the most infamous Germans of the 20th century and
ask him ´Why?´

On the Active History website, students can do
just that. On it, school children are able to
interview a virtual Adolf Hitler.

At www.activehistory.co.uk, students can quiz the
Nazi dictator on issues as wide-ranging as his
opinion of Jews, the role of women in Nazi Germany
right down to personal information, such as when
and where the failed Austrian artist turned Third
Reich leader was born.


The site -- which has won several awards and has
been described by British newspaper The Guardian
as "perhaps the best history site around" -- is
the creation of British history teacher R. J.
Karr. He says he wanted to spice up history
lessons by using internet technology.
