Now this is where the parents must step in. They must educate their child so that he has the ability to point out these aspects. If he is able to explain and show things such as what I mentioned, people may be forced to possibly look at Hitler in an aspect other than the one that is common. Most people are actually very uneducated on the real story behind Hitler, and he could use something like his name as educational and speaking grounds to educate the people on the good things about Hitler.

Now, if you want to argue about the holocaust severely outweighing any good Hitler has done, another educational point steps in. You could talk about the things that caused Adolf to be this demented and twisted. It was not a natural occurrence, and many people are COMPLETELY unaware of his childhood the pushed him to that point.
