Adolf Hitler

Dictator · German · 20th c.

Dictator of Nazi Germany (1889–1945). Rising in the chaos of the Great Depression, he seized power through democratic elections and perpetrated the Holocaust — the systematic murder of 6 million Jews — and started World War II. He represents the most catastrophic historical example of how the Mentor archetype, when turned toward destruction, can mobilise collective fervour for atrocity.
