In The Media
The family's story and Bridget's memoirs were first published by Michael Unger in the Liverpool Daily Post, 1973.
Beryl Bainbridge's 1978 novel Young Adolf depicts the alleged 1912–13 visit to his Liverpool relatives by a 23-year-old Adolf Hitler. Bainbridge and Phillip Saville also wrote a BBC Play for Today based on her book (and based in part on Unger's work), broadcast in 1979.
Unger also edited Bridget Dowling's memoirs which were first published as The Memoirs of Bridget Hitler in 1979; a completely updated version, titled The Hitlers of Liverpool, was published in 2011.
Grant Morrison and Steve Yeowell's 1989 comic book "The New Adventures of Hitler" is likewise based on the Liverpool visit. It sparked controversy in the early 1990s and has not been reprinted.
In October 2005, The History Channel aired a one-hour documentary entitled "Hitler's Family", in which William Patrick Hitler is prominently profiled along with other relatives of Adolf Hitler.
In April 2006, "Little Willy", a play by Mark Kassen examining the life of William Patrick Hitler, opened at the Ohio Theater in New York before moving on to the West End in London.

Famous quotes containing the word media:
“One can describe a landscape in many different words and sentences, but one would not normally cut up a picture of a landscape and rearrange it in different patterns in order to describe it in different ways. Because a photograph is not composed of discrete units strung out in a linear row of meaningful pieces, we do not understand it by looking at one element after another in a set sequence. The photograph is understood in one act of seeing; it is perceived in a gestalt.”
