Famous historical figures return as clones, but are they doomed to repeat the fate of their progenitors, or can they create their own destines? St. Kleio Academy is a very exclusive school. To enroll, a student must be the clone of a famous historical figure. Wolfgang Mozart, Queen Elizabeth, Sigmund Freud, Marie Curie, Adolf Hitler—with such a combustible student body, it’s only a matter of time before the campus explodes! ADOLF HITLER (1889–1945) Adolf Hitler was the infamous ruler of fascist Germany. In his youth he aspired to be a painter but was rejected from art school. He worked as a day laborer before enlisting in the army and serving in World War I. After the war he became involved in the National Socialist German Worker ’ s Party ( the Nazi Party ) , expanding its influence and becoming its leader. Hitler ’ s charismatic oratory garnered many followers and led to his appointment as chancellor. In that position, he disbanded all rival political parties and established a single - party dictatorship. He declared himself the “ Fuhrer, ” or supreme ruler, and called his reign the “ Third Reich. ” Germany ’ s invasion of Poland instigated World War II, while domestically Hitler maintained strict control of the ideology of the citizenry, initiating the genocide of the Jewish people known as the “ Holocaust. ” Hitler committed suicide in his underground bunker in 1945 after Berlin fell to the Allies.
