First Person	Adolf Hitler
His/Her biography	Hitler was a historical figure who committed atrocities during his leadership of Nazi Germany, and any biography of him should not be construed as an endorsement of his actions. Adolf Hitler was born on April 20, 1889, in Braunau am Inn, Austria. He was the fourth of six children born to Alois Hitler, a customs official, and his wife, Klara. Hitler had a difficult childhood, with his father being strict and authoritarian, and his mother frequently falling ill. After dropping out of school at 16, Hitler moved to Vienna to pursue his dream of becoming an artist. However, he was rejected from the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna twice and struggled to make a living. During this time, Hitler became interested in politics and began to develop his anti-Semitic and nationalist views. In 1914, at the outbreak of World War I, Hitler volunteered for service in the German army and served as a messenger on the Western Front. He was injured several times and was awarded the Iron Cross for bravery. After the war, Hitler joined the German Workers' Party, which later became the National Socialist German Workers' Party (NSDAP), or Nazi Party. Hitler quickly rose to prominence within the party and became its leader in 1921. Over the next decade, Hitler used his charismatic speaking skills and propaganda to build the Nazi Party into a formidable political force. In 1933, Hitler was appointed Chancellor of Germany and quickly consolidated power, establishing a dictatorship and suppressing opposition. Under Hitler's leadership, Nazi Germany embarked on a campaign of aggression, annexing Austria and parts of Czechoslovakia before invading Poland in 1939, which marked the start of World War II. Hitler's forces conquered much of Europe before being defeated by Allied forces in 1945. During his time in power, Hitler implemented policies that led to the deaths of millions of people, including six million Jews in the Holocaust. Hitler committed suicide in his bunker in Berlin on April 30, 1945, as Allied forces closed in on the city. Hitler's legacy is one of destruction, hatred, and genocide. Despite this, he remains a significant figure in history, and his actions continue to shape the world today.

Day 1
Second Person	HiroHito (裕仁)
His/Her biography	Who Was Hirohito? Japanese Emperor Hirohito was made crown prince at age 15. The level of his involvement with Japan's military during World War II has remained debatable, though he announced the country's surrender to the Allied Forces in 1945. After the war, the new constitution drafted by the United States transformed Japan into a constitutional monarchy so that sovereignty lay with the people instead of the emperor. Hirohito died in Tokyo on January 7, 1989. His son, Akihito, succeeded him. Early Life Hirohito, was born Michinomiya Hirohito on April 29, 1901, in the Aoyama Palace in Tokyo, Japan. He was the first son of Crown Prince Yoshihito (later Emperor Taisho) and Princess Sadako (later Empress Teimei). As a child, Hirohito was separated from his parents, as was custom, and given an imperial education at the Gakushuin School, also known as the Peers' School. He later attended a special institute which conditioned him to become emperor and was formally given the title of crown prince on November 2, 1916. Years later, in 1921, he became the first crown prince of Japan to travel abroad and study, voyaging to Europe. In November 1921, shortly after his return to Japan, Hirohito was appointed acting ruler of Japan due to his father's failing health. On January 26, 1924, he married Princess Nagako (later Empress Nagako), a distant cousin of royal blood. The couple would eventually have seven children. Japanese Emperor On December 25, 1926, following the death of his father, Hirohito succeeded him as emperor, taking the 124th Chrysanthemum Throne. He was given the title "Showa" ("Enlightened Peace") and was formally known as Showa Tenno. Shortly after Hirohito's induction as emperor, Japan found itself in a state of unrest. While his reign saw an incredible amount of political turmoil, he remained a gentle man who allegedly had limited influence over the military and its politics. Soon, the military began to revolt, resulting in the assassination of many public officials, including Prime Minister Inukai Tsuyoshi. Hirohito was a reluctant supporter of the occupation of Manchuria, which led to the second Sino-Japanese War. Japan's military subsequently became more aggressive and implemented policies reflecting that stance, which eventually led to the country's allegiance with WWII's Axis Powers and the attack on Pearl Harbor. Hirohito was said to be unenthusiastic about Japan's involvement in the war but was often pictured in uniform to show his support. Lingering controversy has remained about his true role in Japan's armed operations during this era. Surrender and New Constitution In September 1945, following the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Hirohito broke the precedent of imperial silence and announced the nation's unconditional surrender to the Allied Forces. Japan lost 2.3 million soldiers and an estimated 800,000 civilians in WWII. General Douglas MacArthur, who was made Allied commander, was sent to Japan to oversee its rehabilitation. The country found itself occupied for years by the United States, who introduced democratic reforms. While many wanted Hirohito to be tried as a war criminal, MacArthur made a bargain with the emperor that included the implementation of a new Japanese constitution and the denouncement of imperial "divinity." Thus, Hirohito became a democratic figurehead, with the country eventually attaining political stability and becoming an economic leader. Later Years and Death Until his death, Hirohito remained an active figure in Japan, even after his divinity was revoked. He acted as head of state and played an important role in rebuilding Japan's image to the rest of the world. He also focused on his love of marine biology, a subject on which he wrote several books. On January 7, 1989, Hirohito died of cancer at the place of his birth: Aoyama Palace in Tokyo. His son Akihito succeeded him to the throne.

First Person	Joseph Stalin
His/Her biography	Joseph Stalin was a Soviet politician and revolutionary who served as the leader of the Soviet Union from the mid-1920s until his death in 1953. He was born on December 18, 1878, in the town of Gori, Georgia, then part of the Russian Empire. Stalin's childhood was marked by poverty and hardship. His father was an alcoholic cobbler who beat his wife and children, and Stalin suffered from a number of health problems, including a withered left arm, which he attributed to a childhood accident. Despite these challenges, he excelled in his studies and became involved in Marxist political circles in his youth. In 1903, Stalin became a member of the Bolshevik Party, the radical faction of the Russian Social Democratic Labor Party, led by Vladimir Lenin. He quickly rose through the ranks of the party, and after the Russian Revolution of 1917, he was appointed Commissar of Nationalities, in charge of promoting national unity in the newly formed Soviet Union. Stalin played a key role in consolidating power for the Communist Party in the years that followed the revolution. He helped defeat anti-communist forces in the Russian Civil War and oversaw the establishment of a centralized, authoritarian government in the Soviet Union. He became General Secretary of the Communist Party in 1922, and by the mid-1920s, he had outmaneuvered his rivals and become the de facto leader of the country. During Stalin's leadership, the Soviet Union underwent rapid industrialization and modernization, at the cost of widespread human suffering and loss of life. Millions of people were imprisoned, exiled, or executed under Stalin's regime, and his policies caused widespread famine and poverty. Stalin's leadership was marked by paranoia, brutal purges of perceived enemies, and a cult of personality that portrayed him as a heroic leader and father figure to the Soviet people. His rule came to an end in 1953, when he died of a stroke at the age of 74. Despite his legacy of terror and repression, Stalin remains a controversial figure in Russian and world history, with some hailing him as a hero and others condemning him as a tyrant.
