35. Bernie Became Interested In Politics Because of Adolf Hitler and Nazi Germany
Even though Bernie came into this world in 1941, doesn’t mean he didn’t learn about World War II at an early age. In fact, in his adult life, Bernie would admit to reporters that it was Adolf Hitler who got him interested in politics. Bernie realized that politics were very important when he noted that someone who killed millions of people was believed to be a good leader during his campaign. Bernie learned about the Holocaust early in his life, not just because of his Jewish background, but because several of his relatives died in Nazi Germany.
